Ian Mahinmi and Darius Washington were both sent to Austin over the course of the last couple of weeks. Washington tore it up in his first game with the Toros: 32 points (28 in the second half). If he develops, he could be the heir apparent to Jacque Vaughn rather than just the guy who helped make Beno expendable.
Mahinmi, on the other hand, has been up and down. He's averaging a respectable 13 points and 7 rebounds a game in the D-league (which is far more guard-oriented than the NBA). Unfortunately, he's also a foul and turnover machine. He's a freak athlete, but still a work in progress. Of course, just because he can dunk, some Spurs fans think he should be starting today (see: White, James).Perhaps the weirdest roster update is the re-acquisition of Marcus Williams. He scored 12 points against Sioux Falls in his first game. Someone still has hope for the guy, but I'd be fairly amazed if he ever works his way onto the Spurs roster.
