Damn Lonnie. Can't wait to see him get NBA minutes

[Mugen]

Shut him down.

[wildbill2u]

NoESPN or any internet feeds? The deeper in SL they go, the more interested I get in their development into the Spurs.

[MannyIsGod]

Is Lonnie playing tonight? Probably won't watch if he's not.

They spoke about him on the Ringer NBA show a day or two ago. Mentioned that the last time someone dominated Summer League like this it was Donovan Mitchell.

Lonnie definitely looks a class or two above everyone else out there. Hopefully it translates.

Him being able to start next to Murray or White would be really good for team. He doesn't even have to be a big-minute player. Just have him and Murray (say) as the starters and bring in White for MPG off the bench with Forbes.

Guess its kj's time to shine

They've been streaming the Cox Pavilion games on youtube,they'll probably have the Spurs game as well

[FkLA]

Is Bonnie playing?

[Mr. Body]

He's hoping Samanic launches from the midcourt line for a nasty thunder dunk.

Did Caron just say there's no such thing as a 4 point play? :lol

[Mugen]

Watching this segment on RJ Barrett and I'm now 200% convinced this dude is going to be one of the biggest busts of the 21st century.

[Mugen]

With Fultz?

It was with Caron Butler. Caron was asking him grade school basketball questions and RJ couldn't answer em. Caron also gained 200 lbs since retiring and RJ looked like he had a hard time dribbing past him :lol

[Mugen]

Lonnie officially shut down for summer league. Good stuff tbh.

[Mr. Body]

Watching this segment on RJ Barrett and I'm now 200% convinced this dude is going to be one of the biggest busts of the 21st century.

Have you watched him play? He's terrible.

[Mugen]

Have you watched him play? He's terrible.

Nah, didn't watch him much in Duke at all tbh

[Mr. Body]

Nah, didn't watch him much in Duke at all tbh

I mean in the summer league. He has blinders on, very few skills, needs bail-outs by the refs, can't playmake.

[Holden_Caulfield]

samanic cant rebound to save his life :lol

[GB20]

Come on Lukas!

[Mugen]

Luka's been off to rouuuuuugh starts in every SL game.

[Mr. Body]

Samanic has two offensive plays -- either shoot or drive all the way in weakly.

[emanueldavidginobili]

Man I hate that Magette guy get him off the floor so Spoon and Keldon can get some time handling the ball.

[spurraider21]

its ok because luka's not supposed to be on the roster and contribute until after his rookie contract is up. but watch out in 2024 :wow

Damn serious about this game . . .

[GB20]

Lukas needs a lot of work

[FkLA]

On draft day, I actually thought Luka was going to see decent minutes this year. :lol

[DAF86]

Magette can barely dribble the ball up the court.

[Collins21]

Man I hate that Magette guy get him off the floor so Spoon and Keldon can get some time handling the ball.

Exactly I know it's only Summer League but I hate the Pee Wee Herman looking fuck.

[Chachachango]

I agree. Magot needs to be benched. Someone take luka to whataburger.

[TheDoctor]

samanic cant rebound to save his life :lol
As of now he doesn’t has that knack for it. He’s quick for his size. It’s just that he doesnt know how to position himself yet.

[slick'81]

:lol

[Chinook]

I mean, Robinson isn't a three. We don't have to wait any more to determine that, Smitty.

[Play Boban]

1149033428639191040
First denying the moon landing and now this. Trade him.

[ace3g]

Luka for 3

[Play Boban]

Luka shitting all over the low IQ ST posters :lol

[r0drig0lac]

Luka

[ace3g]

nice hesitation / spin-crossover move by Luka then kicks out to open man for 3.

[FkLA]

This isn't even fun to watch anymore without any second year draft picks. Next year's SL should be good.

[Mr. Body]

I don't see how Thomas Robinson makes this league. He just doesn't have the skills.

[Play Boban]

Luka single handily put us back in the game per par.

[Play Boban]

Luka the playmaker :wow

[ace3g]

Luka, point forward after grabbing rebound, passes to open Spoon for 3.

[r0drig0lac]

point forward Luka

[Mugen]

Good sequence for Luka. Strong rebound, pushed it up the court and a solid pass to Quindarry for the 3.

[Chomag]

I didn't know Luka was saw raw, dude has a long way to go to be NBA ready.

[Play Boban]

I didn't know Lukas was saw raw, dude has a long way to go to be NBA ready.
Are you even watching? He’s the best player on the court tonight.

[Joseph Kony]

I didn't know Luka was saw raw, dude has a long way to go to be NBA ready.

he's 19. not many players are NBA ready at 19

[ace3g]

Eubanks with his patent hook shot.

[ceperez]

I didn't know Luka was saw raw, dude has a long way to go to be NBA ready.

Raw? It's more like he doesn't have the bulk and strength for the NBA. But that's because he's only 19.

[Mr. Body]

Are you even watching? He’s the best player on the court tonight.

Lul wat

[Chomag]

No I know the potential is definitely there but he's just much farther away then I had thought

[Mugen]

Run some stuff or Keldon.

[Play Boban]

Lul wat
Guess you’re not. He was dominating.

[Mr. Body]

Guess you’re not. He was dominating.

Lul wat

[GB20]

I didn't know Luka was saw raw, dude has a long way to go to be NBA ready.

He will be ready next year.

[Chomag]

Someone take the lid off of that basket! Lol

Thomas Robinson is a #5 pick????!

[DPG21920]

Weatherspoon continues to look like a polished offensive player. Good enough athleticism combined with knowing when to burst or hesitate is just really quality.

[r0drig0lac]

solid game by Luka, Quinn is ready

[Collins21]

Run some stuff or Keldon.

Exactly dude produces every time he's featured but they stick him in the corner and let scrubs go to work smh!!!

[slick'81]

I don't see how Thomas Robinson makes this league. He just doesn't have the skills.

well he was a top 5 pick and already played 5 nba seasons but yea hes not coming back

[ulosturedge]

Yup Quinn looks like he's got the IQ and skillset. Luka showing why we drafted him. He's got the upside and you can tell he's making strides the more he plays.

[Kurik]

Luka is a playmaker, just doesn’t know his limits yet but he turned the game around offensively for the team.

[ace3g]

Luka!!!!

[r0drig0lac]

Manu Samanic

[DPG21920]

Luka likes that behind the back move

[Mugen]

Luka with the goods

[beirmeistr]

I just saw a slower version of a Manu drive

[Kurik]

KJ always fighting hard on those screens.

[emanueldavidginobili]

This kid has potential and tools. A couple years of working out and getting on a good meal plan and him just growing into his man body will do wonders.

[ace3g]

https://twitter.com/spurs/status/1149137672989896705

[GB20]

:pop:
He is Lukas Ginobili.

[Dejounte]

We dont need Morris. We have Luka. Expedite his growth and play him.

[John B]

David Robinson Jr? With an airball :lmao

[Kurik]

Wow, Robinson just needs to pack his bags tonight.

[Mugen]

Thomas Robinson is going to love Guangzhou

[emanueldavidginobili]

I’m loving Weatherspoon. Doesn’t look 6’4 at all, strong as hell and has great pace to his game.

[GB20]

Thomas Robinson got worse playing in China.

[Leetonidas]

Lucky Sandwich is gonna be an all star someday

[ace3g]

sloppy end to the 3rd quarter, Spurs now down 57-61.

[John B]

Come on, let’s go to the Summer League playoffs!

[beirmeistr]

Lucky Sandwich is gonna be an all star someday

Lucky Sandwich——that’s funny.

[Mugen]

Weird rotations by Becky tonight tbh

[Mugen]

Wow QW.

[ace3g]

[ace3g]

Finally getting some rhythm back.

[Mugen]

Quindarry man, dude's a gamer.

[DPG21920]

Weatherman forecasting a win

[YoungbuckMurray]

Spoon is an absolute steal

[r0drig0lac]

Quinn!!!

[DPG21920]

Weatherman making it rain

[r0drig0lac]

Quinn looks like an improved Derrick White

[Mugen]

Damn, 15 more lbs Luka.

[benefactor]

Lucky Sandwich...perfect. This is his name from now on for me.

[ace3g]

Luka to Eubanks, 1 point game.

[ace3g]

Eubanks and-1 chance to tie the game.

[FkLA]

https://twitter.com/spurs/status/1149143428418007040

Best PG+defender on the team :worthy:

The other guy is pretty fashionable too.

[r0drig0lac]

Drew

[ace3g]

Spoon to Eubanks for the dunk and the lead!!!

[Mugen]

It's up to Josh Magette to get this stop.

[ace3g]

Becky with a Coach's challenge.

[Dejounte]

Look, a Sandwich!

[ace3g]

don't even get a shot up, lol

[DAF86]

Horrible challenge by Becky there. Should have kept the TO.

[Mugen]

:lol Damn...Luka really is Manu reincarnate

Spurs fall to 2-2 in SL.

11/11/3/3 for Luka with +20... not bad

[John B]

QDarry with a DeRozan turnover moves :bang:bang

[Kurik]

Even with the fouls Luka was the best player for the Spurs today.

[DC23]

Tough loss. Probably cost us a playoffs appearance.

[Mr. Body]

Quindarry -- Best player tonight, very promising for his pick. Struggled as a go-to scorer, but does a lot of great things throughout the game. Competitive.

Eubanks -- Fouls too much, but I like him. Nice athleticism, chippy and tough. If he can develop a jumpshot…

Samanic -- Some really good moments, maybe his best game so far. Really needs to tighten his handles, but vision is good, rebounding was better.

Johnson -- Little impact this game.

[MoSpur02]

Saminic's defense on that last defensive stance looked good. Weatherspoon handling the ball on that last play was a bad call by Becky.

[Mugen]

Luka's rebounding got a little better after the early jitters. I still don't like his screen setting tbh.

[Joseph Kony]

Samanic was a +18 in a game the Spurs lost by 1 :lol

edit: guess it was actually a +20 :wow boxscore i saw had it wrong

[Play Boban]

Lul wat
Joke’s on you, buddy :lmao

+20, son :lol

[BackHome]

Wow Luka with 11 rebounds makes me feel better about him being picked at 19.

:wow Luka +20 :wow A Bonner who is actually good :wow

[Mugen]

15 pounds, tighten up his handles, and a year of Austin....pretty excited for Luka going forward tbh. You can tell all the skills are there.

[Mr. Body]

Joke’s on you, buddy :lmao

+20, son :lol

He got better. When you said it, Quindarry was better. Quindarry still was the better player in the game, at least for the Spurs.

[Kurik]

He got better. When you said it, Quindarry was better. Quindarry still was the better player in the game, at least for the Spurs.

Out of touch, tbh.

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

15 pounds, tighten up his handles, and a year of Austin....pretty excited for Luka going forward tbh. You can tell all the skills are there.

Agreed. Nice to see someone with all the attributes to be great on our roster. Hopefully he’ll put the work in because he’s got a high ceiling.

[Mr. Body]

Out of touch, tbh.

That... what? Q was better? I mean, we can slap our cocks together and pretend this matters. I don't give a shit.

[Seventyniner]

QWERTY with plenty of bold plays tonight. I like.

[Gordy58]

Keldon’s shot needs a lot of work. His form isn’t bad at all. He just needs plenty of repetition. He looked a lot better in the second half. His defense and intensity is always consistent. He really sticks to his man, and knows how to fight around screens.
Q looks so comfortable with the ball in his hands. His poise is consistent and he has some herky jerky to his game. That last turnover was pretty bad though. He’s definitely a steal in the second round.

Luka was wildly inconsistent.
The good: Ball handling on display, much better on the boards and boxing out, he definitely has some feel as a passer. The bad: extremely foul prone, committing stupid fouls too, turnovers galore.

Eubanks looks like he’s ready for a 3rd center role on any team. He’s tough, can block some shots, he moves his feet well and can at times switch onto guards. Rebounding and not being able to stretch the floor are still his weaknesses.

Not it sure if they another consolation game left to play, but either way I am extremely pleased with all of our prospects summer league performances. It’s great to know we finally have some good raw talent in the pipeline. After a year in Austin and the weight room, I think all of our rookies should dominate in the summer league next year.

The muscle will come. In the interim, Luka really just needs to let it fly. Stroke looks really good and if he hits it at a 35% ish clip, defenders will be more aggressive on the close outs and he'll get that 6-12 inches on his drives where getting bumped won't be too much of an issue...

He looked really bad at times tbh but I'm excited by the skill set. Really excited.

Lonnie was by far the best player in SL. Keldon looks like a steal at 29. Quindarry looks like an NBA player. Even Eubanks loos like a 3rd string C in the league....

Altogether, a pretty damn good SL for the Spurs....

I think you have to be a blind fool to not see the potential in Luka. At #19, with all those tools and skills, I'm very happy the Spurs "reached" to get him.

15 pounds, tighten up his handles, and a year of Austin....pretty excited for Luka going forward tbh. You can tell all the skills are there.

He'll be tearing up SL just like Walker before him and White before Walker.

The guy is just too big and quick for SL. Right now, he just doesn't have the strength, stamina and precision to dominate. But it's obvious that he's got a lot of upside. These kind of players don't grow on trees.
