This lineup gives me nothing to watch except for Weatherspoon. Maaaybe Robinson. But let’s face it. We’re all here all for Samanic, Walker, Johnson, and Weatherspoon. That’s about it...

I’m rooting for the guy I’ll say that. I have this feeling he could be that hustle type of a big man we’ve been looking for and needing for quite some time. I just don’t know if he’ll show enough to crack the final roster with all the people we already have.

I love Keldon man. His defense is outstanding

MoSpur02

07-01-2019, 06:53 PM

Saminic looked very timid and passive most of that first half. Ben Moore looked good on defense. He was active on that side of the court. Thomas Robinson...what a shame. Has the body to play in this league, but not very bright. Especially on defense. Keldon Johnson looked pretty good. Would have liked to have seen him put up more outside shots. Not sure he shot one shot. Weatherspoon impressed me. He drove to the basket with a strong move. Eubanks looks good, but for some reason I'm not high on him. Something about him. Not sure what it is.

MoSpur02

07-01-2019, 06:54 PM

Also Ledbetter is the white version of Mills. I root for that guy, but too short to be a shooting guard and too slow on defense and not good enough to be a PG in my opinion. He always hustles though and has a nice touch from beyond the arc.

Walker looking like a star in summer league is a good sign. His fall away jumper looks like nephews. Also Weatherspoon looks like a steal. He can hang with those guys, I won't be surprised if he's on the team next season

I see him as a Forbes replacement for next year. Spurs probably let their little bird fly elsewhere for more money

Willie Reed is still playing in the SL? I remember a lot of folks had him and Dedmon as 1a and 1b for top project bigs for the Spurs to sign a few years ago. Glad SA picked the right one. Willie ruined what little career he had and has been scrubbing it up ever since.

I am late to answering this, so you may already know the answer.

I didn't see it on tv, but saw on twitter that it's a lightly protected (top 4) 2024 pick, then if it doesn't convey only top 1 protected the following year, then unprotected. All of this if it doesn't convey the first time (2024). Just the one pick.

wildbill2u

07-02-2019, 03:43 PM

I hope I am not seeing a weakness in Walker's jump shot. On the highlight film there are several instances where he is coming down on one leg with the other one stuck out to the side. Isn't that how he got hurt or was that Murray? In a fast moving game, a player can get away with an off balance shot once in a while, but persistent bad form that might contribute to an injury or breakdown will kill a career if it can't be fixed.

Ive never seen a 2nd round pick like Q be involved so much with other rooks. Seems high character for sure. Ive never seen White and Blossomgame bond like this for example. Mezi and Lonnie just a little bit but not like this.
Queen Dairy is gonna be a stud and would be the steal of the draft imo. The kid is bullish and has a lot of confidence. He can score by a bunch. I think he would be successor to Patty Mills 1-2 years.

John B

07-05-2019, 12:42 AM

I really like Queen Dairy if ever we move Mills (long shot). The kid is bullish and has plenty of poise. I think Luka and Keldon, while very promising, need much seasoning in Austin. Also 20lb muscles would help absorb hit. I’m also rooting for Robinson in case we strike out on Cousins.

Keldon seems the perfect Spur kinda goofy but cool will fit in the team and him and Mills with be buds. This team may not be a champion team but we have great chemistry and a player or two away from ringing again.
