Everyone has favorites. Who's yours?
For me, it's a satisfying feeling when you're invested in a player you like from the very beginning of their career and it's great to watch them blossom. I was one of the first to believe in Kawhi's greatness (not on this forum, but around friends) and bragged about him endlessly when he got good. Of course, we know how that ended and since I'm Spurs fan first over everything, my owned jersey of Kawhi's is now garbage.
So now the point of this thread is to see who you're likely to be invested in and root for out of all the Spurs players (mostly young) whether it's because you enjoy their personality, their work ethic, their talent, etc...
I've been torn between Dejounte, Lonnie, White before Samanic entered the picture. Dejounte because his measurements and talent for rebounding is intriguing, but his grammar can be annoying as hell sometimes. Lonnie because dude showcases out of this world athleticism at times, and thats exciting. He also seems to forge his own path instead of following others (the impression I got, maybe it's his hair). White because he's just so stoic just as Kawhi was. Hopefully he doesnt turn into a sociopath like Nephew, but the way he gives interviews doesnt indicate that. And finally, Samanic... To me, his potential is through the roof. Ive watched his tape for hours weeks on end before he was even drafted, and still watch it after he was drafted. I really think this dude is our next star as I predicted Kawhi was going to be.
So in the end, I think it's down to two for me: Derrick White and Samanic. Decisions, decisions ...
What a time to be alive, who would ever have thought the Spurs would have this much youth. I remember years ago, people would complain hard about not having one single young player with potential.
So who are you going to invest in?
Player fans, assemble?
