2018 Summer League

[John B]

I guess Tony has concerns on getting any minutes. White is poised and ready.

Was it Brimah that laid that guy out with a pick?

Sign him to a two way already

[Pavlov]

Was it Brimah that laid that guy out with a pick?

Sign him to a two way alreadyYeah. That was him. Looked much more like he knew what he was doing than when he started in Austin. Metu's pnr work looked like he could actually make the main team. Walker has to pick up another NBA level skill to get out of Austin. White is ready.

[raybies]

Metu wasn't terrible either, gonna spend a ton of time in Austin but he looked like the Spurs best 2nd round pick in about 10 years tbh.
Agreed. Dude ccouldn't stop fouling tho..

[raybies]

Depending on what Spurs have roster looks like, I wouldn't be upset with Eubanks being added for PF/C depth.
Yeah. I liked what he was doing out there alot. Dude is solid. Does he have range?

[duncan2150]

just watched spurs jazz game.

White is a baller, can score, pass, shoot.... deserve to play mooore next year

I'm ok with Walker, active, some shoots not falling, will need to make good choices but overall i'm ok with him

Inside Eubanks or Brimah didn't look bad but i don't know if they could make the roster.

[Chinook]

Watching now. Not impressed with White. I mean, I'm not worried either, since it's the first game. But I was hoping he'd look more like Anderson and less like Forbes. People underestimate how good Kyle was that year. He was literally unguardable and was canning threes at a high rate. Really sucks that they couldn't get that guy consistently.

Anyways, Walker's gonna need some coaching. We knew that, but as it is right now, he doesn't deserve minutes. To put it into perspective, I was critical of Murray's first SL game, but he was way better than Lonnie was. Best part about Walker is that he was aggressive in taking shots. He was too aggressive, but that's not an issue in the summer league. He can work on that shot-selection starting next summer, because he'll have the green light in Austin. If anything, I was annoyed that Hardy ran three guards, including two PGs, to start the game. White should be the primary ball-handler, and Walker should get the nod as the second. They'll be plenty of time for those guys to be off the ball in training camp and pre-season. A scrub named after a city shouldn't factor in here.

Blossom has been forgettable so far, and that sucks for him. He really needed to develop a defensive skill-set that would give him a real niche in the NBA. Dude needs to be the designated stopper going forward. I liked Putney as well. Dude has legit size, length and explosiveness. But he's seriously almost as old as I am. If he were even five years younger, I'd be excited. Now, um, maybe he can get a two-way deal? Spurs sure don't need to fuck around with guards again.

I liked that Metu was handling the ball at points during the first half. It didn't really work, but beating guys on a faceup from behind the arc was never going to be his thing. He was aggressive in trying to protect the glass, though that didn't really work for him. Hope he can get chemistry with the guards, because his success as a roll-man will determine if he'll be able to hold a top-15 spot. Brimah looked Brimish: he blocked some shots, dunked whenever he could, and boarded well. But his general ability as a rim-protector -- as in not just as a shot-blocker -- has left something to be desired. Thought he got caught in no man's land too much on PnR defense and he got beat to the rim other times. Not expecting much. Eubanks was better in that regard, though he as a bit too jumpy. I love the Walker pick, but damn it would be nice to have a legit big prospect in the system.

I'm interested in seeing how the roster gels. The title-winning squad from a few years ago had a rough going in Utah as well. They had a better "star" on that team and got a second once Jon join for Vegas. The team was also better constructed, with rolling, defensive-minded bigs, wings that could shoot and pesky guard defenders. This squad doesn't even have a big as good as Ndoye. However, they can still take advantage of what they do have, which is a dynamic back court and bigs who are legit lob threats. On that note, I hope we see Hamilton play soon. I'm very curious to see how he looks against NBA athletes. He seemed worryingly slow in college, but he showed some interesting skills. And while I'm not nearly as bullish on Hanlan as I was last year, they need to cut the chord on Ledbetter and Perrantes. Neither guy will never be on the team, but at least they can sign with other clubs. Give Olivier a chance and them let him go.

[TheGreatYacht]

Tried to warn you idiots about Walker.... :lol

He's as inefficient as one can be.

[ElNono]

Is Fathead in the roster? I might watch if he is, tbh... Summer League Fathead is like November Parker...

[Stabula]

Exciting stuff.

[BackHome]

You also said White sucks when he was drafted lol :lol

[SAGirl]

Davis Bertans was a second round pick.... But anyways I agree on Metu. He looked like a player.

Thanks for the review.
:toast Agree that it will be interesting to see how they gel and "grow". Right now White is the only player that looks like he deserves rotation minutes but this is just the beginning. Last season they also had a poor start in Utah. I actually expected more from last season's team since they had Bertans.

This team has a couple of athletic bigs that are indeed lob threats and that wasn't available in the other teams. Will be interesting to watch the chemistry going forward.

i love ST during summer league. it's the quintessence of hyperbole.

Yep don’t judge Walker an 18th draft pick. Just look at Trae Young first game first half 0 for 6 two shots not even hitting rim and he was drafted as a shooter and was first round 5th pick! I am sure his team is not calling and looking to trade him. Lol

Trae's shot selection was terrible.

[DAF86]

Fuck Pop if White isn't a rotation player this season. Besides, is not like he's a young prospect, what is he now, 24?

[Pavlov]

You guys gotta relax about White. He'll play.

[DAF86]

You guys gotta relax about White. He'll play.

Over who? Murray, Mills, Belli, Manu, Tony, Green? I would play him over any of them, but I doubt Pop will.

[Pavlov]

Over who? Murray, Mills, Belli, Manu, Tony, Green? I would play him over any of them, but I doubt Pop will.Great. Don't relax then.

Are you really sure? Have you checked the message boards for his team. All the posters are happy? I doubt it.

[DAF86]

Great. Don't relax then.

I'm not overly stressed either. I just don't see Pop giving White a rotation spot.

[Pavlov]

I'm not overly stressed either. I just don't see Pop giving White a rotation spot.OK.

[DAF86]

OK.

What makes you think he will? Do you see Manu retiring, Spurs not signing Tony or Spurs signing Tony just to be a third unit guy? Do you see them moving guys like Mills or Green?

[Pavlov]

What makes you think he will? Do you see Manu retiring, Spurs not signing Tony or Spurs signing Tony just to be a third unite guy? Do you see them moving guys like Mills or Green?I see all of the above as possibilities this season. I also don't see anyone's performance save Murray's and probably Manu's guaranteeing a spot in next season's rotation.

Just shows the anti talent of the current nba

[BackHome]

Yeah to me every sport players have gotten better bigger faster etc. But not the NBA he’ll u know have tons of players who can barely dribble let alone pass it’s actually kinda sad.

[Mugen]

:lol White is the best guard on the team. If f'n Dejounte was starting in his 2nd year, White will easily get minutes.

[ace3g]

Ronnie Walker will not play tonight - rest.

[r0drig0lac]

wtf

[ace3g]

Hopefully Kris Jenkins plays tonight was a DNP vs Jazz.

[FkLA]

lol the Spurs' rest schtick sucks

[ace3g]

Metu with the top of the key jumper

[BatManu20]

Metu off to a good start. 3/3 with 6 pts.

[TheGreatYacht]

Ronnie Walker will not play tonight - rest.
Same injury Delonte had when he got exposed last year?

[Floyd Pacquiao]

Metu is nice

Does one need rest at summer league? really?

[Keepin' it real]

Playoff atmosphere.

[r0drig0lac]

White is just so much better than any other player on the court

[BatManu20]

Fuck Pop if White isn't a rotation player this season. Besides, is not like he's a young prospect, what is he now, 24?

Turned 24 yesterday.

Trae Young is an instabust.

[tholdren]

Trae Young is an instabust.

Better than murray. Any one off the street could succeed in the nba with reps and time. Anyone.

[ace3g]

Eubanks looking good again.

[BatManu20]

White and Metu are clearly our most impactful players. I like Eubanks too.

[BatManu20]

Commentator just said he’s hearing rumors that Lakers are pursuing trades of Damian Lillard or John Wall to prove to the Spurs that they aren’t going to wait around :lol

[Spurs Brazil]

White playing very well. 14pts already

[Mugen]

These Jazz announcers are legit fucking retarded, i've never heard so much blatant misinformation about the Kawhi situation in my life :lol

[ace3g]

Eubanks could be a poor man's Nick Collison

[FkLA]

White is toying with niggas, tbh. :wow

[Vic Petro]

Did we know there were rumors of Lakers chasing Lillard and Wall?

[Big Empty]

Yea. Trade Murray. White is whats been missing. Looking like Curry out there lol

[raybies]

White could be special... He starts of slow wherever he goes and he slowly works his way to the top. Unreal story... Im fascinated to see how he progresses this year. Unlike Kyle he's got a tantalizing skill set

[RD2191]

Would white work next to Murray? Tbh

[ace3g]

The Italian Spider with the breakaway dunk!!!

[FkLA]

These Jazz announcers are legit fucking retarded, i've never heard so much blatant misinformation about the Kawhi situation in my life :lol

Yesterday, one of them was like "I don't think there's any All-NBA guys left in the East after the LeBron move". Then the other guy said "yeah I think you're right I can't think of one". :lol

[tholdren]

White is toying with niggas, tbh. :wow
Cmon hes playing against guys named antonious cleveland. Wtf do you expect?

[Keepin' it real]

Bring on Boogie and the Warriors!

[raybies]

I really like Metu's skil lset as well. A stretch four that can rim run and shot block.

[mystargtr34]

White is smooth as fuck tbh.. oozes talent and swagger.. what’s his best position 1 or 2?.. I can’t seem to recall what his draft combine measurements were but if he’s no smaller than 6’3.5” without shoes and a decent standing reach and wingspan no reason why he couldn’t get by at the 2 alongside Murray at the 1.

[raybies]

what's this guy calling him?? Boner?

[raybies]

White is a combo guard.

[Ditty]

White is a baller!

[Mr. Body]

White is the more natural 1.

[spurraider21]

Would white work next to Murray? Tbh
i think so. he's a good enough shooter to play off-ball, and can also be a shot creator if murray can't get penetration and has to defer.

he can also play PG alongside Green/Marco. would be fun next to manu.

[TheDoctor]

Nice to watch a Spurs game with players actually caring for their team and not being a beta mute.

[Mugen]

White and Murray would work pretty well together especially if Dejounte has been working on the corner 3. White is by far the superior offensive player but could set Murray up with some good scoring opportunities considering Dejounte is a pretty good cutter. I think the fit would be pretty good tbh.

[SAGirl]

Haha, go ahead, fuckers.

[raybies]

trae young looking like a bust... gm looked nervous

[Mugen]

It's also important to note that White is 24 and a 2nd year player. It'd be a disaster if he wasn't dominating summer league :lol

That said, I think he's clearly the best guard on the team and should be in line for 20-25 mins a night next season easily....

I could definitely see a 10/3/3 line on 22mpg no problem....

[FkLA]

Trae Young's jawline pisses me off.

Mentally fatigued after his performance last night tbh :lol

[Mugen]

I remember this form last year's SL in Utah, but the color commentary guy for Utah is honestly legit retarded. Every time I hear him call a game, I honestly question if this is the first basketball game he's ever seen :lol

[ace3g]

Eubanks is very methodical / patient with his post moves!!!

[raybies]

White is the more natural 1.
In today's NBA or positionless basketball, he's a versatile playmaking guard or wing. He can play 1-3 ez nowadays. But he's a combo guard for the later years.

[Ron Swanson]

Soulja Boy? What year is it?

[raybies]

[Mr. Body]

Thank god Trae Young was good at basketball. Otherwise, he'd probably be doing Gollum cosplay at children's parties tbh

[LakerHater]

WTF, our 19 yr old rookie resting??!!?

[Keepin' it real]

let us enjoy our small good news. White is a baller.

... He could have played last season too.

[Ditty]

Blossomgame looking good today

He looks much better today!

[Chomag]

Our rookies already getting the rest treatment. He's 19 not 36 lol

[ceperez]

White will likely get the day off tomorrow. That's when Walker needs to show his stuff.

[SpursBills]

Just part of the development process. You play too may games in a row and there's not as much learning to be done. They probably want him to watch the game to get some perspective, then play another game to apply what he learned. Not saying it's right or wrong but it's effective sometimes.

[raybies]

This is why i feel the combo guard title is apt... On his scouting report it said he didn't handle the trap well. Typically points can break traps with relative ease. Re White... Another reason Murray and White could work well... helps relieve the pressure.

[raybies]

ughh... even our summer league wings pass up wide open threes.

[Chomag]

Maybe so, but it's just kind of funny when thinking of all the rest Pop will be giving him during the regular season. Most likely most of his playing time will be in Austin though but maybe Pop will surprise us.

[raybies]

Brimah's physical tools are off the charts but his feel for the game and basketball IQ leaves a lot to be desired... Not to mention he's got bad hands among other things. As for Eubanks, I don't think I've seen him make one mistake yet in all his time on the floor. He's got solid 3rd string potential.

[r0drig0lac]

Metu!!!

[ace3g]

Metu with the buzzer beater corner 3!!!

[palangi]

Why are we wasting time on a 6' spring guard in perantes? He is terrible out there

[ceperez]

Metu has a surprisingly good shot.

If he keeps this up, he'll be a serviceable SF.

Yeah, disappointment. He's got the length, just looks lost. Some of his passes were really bad.

[ceperez]

It's rare that Spurs keep a second round pick, but I think Metu might be an exception. Still room for growth.

[raybies]

Eubanks = Costello/King Joffrey replacement?
Hope he gets a two way. Matt Costello has a G League lifer skill set. Eubanks has the size, mobility, athleticism to at least be a 3rd stringer for awhile, maybe even fringe rotation player... for now at least... You can tell he's been well coached cause he doesn't do anything out of him self. Doesn't really make mistakes. He's the perfect bench big you bring in when someone is making careless mistakes.

[raybies]

It's rare that Spurs keep a second round pick, but I think Metu might be an exception. Still room for growth.
Well if Blossomgame played every game like how he is doing today he'd be a rotation player...

[ceperez]

Spurs don't have a serviceable big in this roster.

[ceperez]

Well if Blossomgame played every game like how he is doing today he'd be a rotation player...

I don't see it. He's got decent athleticism and strength, but I don't think his game translates to the modern NBA. Well, still early, but nothing in this game surprised me.

[r0drig0lac]

who is the number 24?

white's a beast. he should be starting next to Murray, hell maybe even in place of him. but i think their games compliment each other well. i hope Pop goes with him next season

[Russ]

putney

I was asking the same exact thing . . .

[venitian navigator]

who is the number 24?

Putney. Impressive wingspan and a good shooter.
By the way...i've seen Trae Young play these two games and frankly, I don't understand how in this world you can prefer to have him instead of Doncic...maybe I'll be wrong but as of now looks to me one of the worst possible choices in draft history...

[SPURt]

Metu has a weird looking body but his offensive game is surprisingly solid. White really cooled off in the second half but dude was playing good. Young was looking real bad. Real bad.

[SAGirl]

that ATL hawks team is awful... it would be terrible news for the Hawks if their 5th pick in this draft that they tanked hard for is a bust.

[Solid D]

I remember this form last year's SL in Utah, but the color commentary guy for Utah is honestly legit retarded. Every time I hear him call a game, I honestly question if this is the first basketball game he's ever seen :lol

He’s not a great color analyst - agreed. But Ron Boone was an excellent scorer in the ABA (3rd all-time leading scorer). He and Louie Dampier were the top 3-Pt shooters. I actually watched him play for the Dallas Chaps at the Memorial Auditorium when I was a kid.

[picnroll]

Mets was doing some nice rebounding, better than I expected.

[ace3g]

Still confused on why Kris Jenkins isn't even listed on the box score as DNP?

Ron Boone was one of my favorite players in the upstart league.

The issue with Putney is his age. Most guys his age are looking to retire from the league not enter it.

[callo1]

Really impressed by how White is able to keep his dribble alive and make plays either for himself or others.

Putney has a nice stroke from 3. At 6'10" and his high arcing shot he gives his shot a nice chance to go in. The guy just has no weight to him though...listed at 185 lbs.

[ceperez]

White was double teamed the entire second half. What's amazing that he was still able to keep his dribble, break the double team and still make a play for his team.

The gems in the draft are the players who can take the teaching resources that the NBA gives and make themselves into a much better player. Hardy may be right about White improvement to be massive.

I guess a 3-and-D wannabe. Brihma has got wingspan but is clueless. Putney has a better basketball instincts. He's was undrafted in 2015. Appears to be a poor man's Austin Daye.

White is just on another level. Here in the G-league championship game, he's doing everything! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PC0UogLtQe0

A point guard with decent length and isn't afraid to shoot. Doesn't have elite athleticism, but seems good enough.

No. Start Rudy and keep Gasol with the bench. Personally I would prefer Dijon with the bench, too.

[ceperez]

All the Blossomgame haters are pretty quiet..

Blossomgame has good size and seems to have a mid-game. I just don't think its enough of a game that will translate. Yeah, Spurs are in need of SFs, but Blossomgame seem to play like a PF.

Metu has the size of a PF, but seems to have good mechanics to be a decent SF. He's got enough speed to keep up with the smaller players.

[sasaint]

All the Blossomgame haters are pretty quiet..

Pretty nice stats. How about the eye test? Where did his points come from? Did he play mostly inside or out? PF or SF? Was his defense sound?

If he made a leap this year, that would be a real boon for the team.

He made them around the basket and mid-range shots. I don't like his shot mechanics though. To summarize, a PF in a SF body.

He didn't make any glaring errors. He played okay, certainly a two-way deal would be ok.

Thanks. I thought he would have played SF when he came out of college. No chance of that, eh?

[BackHome]

Blossom needs to be consistent before I jump on his bandwagon he showed in the Toros he will have one good game and then not show up for the next two. If you can’t dominate Every game in G League your not yet NBA material.

[John B]

I take Metu before Blossom. Metu has more finesse, behind the basket, shooting, length but needs to bulk up. Any reason why Milutinov is not playing?

[duncan2150]

Mulitinov is with Serbia NT actually.

About metu, i agree he needs To add some bulk , what i really like is his footwork. I Watch it a little bit in those Two summer league games and it’s Pretty good.

[Mugen]

Metu has got a shot. He'll be in Austin most of the season but he's definitely an interesting prospect. He's basically everything they hoped Lalanne would be.

He needs to add about 20 lbs tho to have any chance of being a stretch 4, he'd absolutely get obliterated down low and on the glass by any NBA 4/5 tbh.

[callo1]

White did play some in the playoffs, and played well when he got the chance, especially on offense. He got beat on a couple back door cuts to the basket and Pop pulled him.

He just finished playing for the national team two days ago. I still wouldn't expect him to show up for the Las Vegas portion. Can't expect him to play without a signed contract.

Finally watched the tape of the Utah-Spurs game. While I dont think Walker covered himself with glory I don’t think he was the bust some here seem to be panicking about. He showed some very good tools on defense with his length and quickness, moved his feet well, disrupted some plays. On offense he missed a lot of shots but his form was good and the shots weren’t Murrayesque in being nowhere close to the basket. He seemed to get a little more aggressive on offense toward the end putting the ball on the floor. I think it’s WAY to early to pass judgement on him.

Allen did look like a good pick up for the Jazz.

Yup. Too early to tell. Lonnie showed some good flashes in defensive-end since his offense is already decent and somehow better compared to the other current Spur. I mean it's an 18th pick, it's not like you'll instantly expect him to be star or instant contributor. I'll more going to panic if I'm a Hawks fan, they traded Luca (who is still a question mark as well) to Tray who already showed some disappointment (chucker, defensive liability) in his first two games considering there's a lot of expectation to him.

[tonight...you]

From the vision I've seen last year & this year, I think Derrick White will have the ball in his hands more than Murray. It's not that he's dominating summer league & g-league, it's the fact that he's polished in all areas & has good instincts & vision. He's handles are tight, footwork is good, shot is good, but most importantly, he's able to make multiple decisions about whether to shoot or pass very decisively. He's not overly quick or athletic, but he could be a Jamaal Tinsley (but with a better jumper) type when he was playing really well for 3 or 4 seasons in Indiana.
