I highly doubt Evan is on the roster.

[John B]

I highly doubt Evan is on the roster.

Yeah, I meant they drafted his older brother in the 2nd round.

[Mugen]

Probably most excited to see Wesley tbh.

[Cardinal]

Evan Mobley is not on the roster but his brother is. Agbaji is also playing as well as their second round pick, Travers

[Ariel]

Duren looks great. Unbelievable Charlotte sold him so quickly and cheaply. I doubt they even announced he was available.
I was never onboard with Duren at #9. That said, getting him at #13 for a protected pick from a contender and taking back one year worth of Kemba Walker (around 8/9 M) was a HUGE steal for Detroit. Wish we had done that.

[KingKev]

Just re-upped my NBA league pass subscription and a hundy on the ML to keep me engaged.

They are going to be a very team fun to watch at the very least!

I’ll probably rip out to the dirty for Spurs/Pistons now that the Pistons have a lil buzz going on.

Add the hands of Jeff Ayres. In the Spurs’ championship season of 2013-14 his TOV% was 24.1.

[RC_Drunkford]

I highly doubt Jovic is a better pick than Wesley

[Russ]

Kai Jones 0-10 from three last night good god

Yeah, but he went 5-5 from 2 pt, 2-2 from the line, 9 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 block, 1 steal and 12 points.

Three-point shooting is always the wild card. I'll take the rest.

Buy low.

[Ariel]

Sharpe looks much smaller than advertised, I don't think he's any bigger than our own Wesley & Branham. I'd expect him to be able to shoot it well enough, and he can definitely jump (had a nice block the other day), but shooting well and jumping high is far from what makes you a top young prospect. The Blazers took a HUGE risk, when there were much more proven prospects, who were even younger. We'll see, but so far I'm VERY skeptic of him being worth of his no. 7 pick.

[mystargtr34]

It’s only summer league but man Banchero looks like the best number 1 pick since LeBron 😂. Other than maybe AD. As Spurs fans we should be glad he went out at East and didn’t end up in the Spurs division with OKC or Houston.

The lack of spacing in college really seemed to hide a lot of his talent which is his one on one scoring and his playmaking/passing. He’s blocking shots at the rim, guarding people out on the perimeter.

[Mr. Body]

To me Queita was the revelation. Far from a stiff.

Jovic was a no-show. But then his team was jack-it-up city.

[rascal]

I watched the Portland and Detroit summer league highlights and both those teams have more athleticism(players able to attack the basket) than the Spurs.

[rankingtear]

Davis looks like shit. Decisions are slow and unsure of his shot.

[rascal]

You and me both, bruv. I was screaming for him at 25. Would have made my night.

I like Wesley more.

Bruh, Wesley likes to attack the rim. There’s no doubt. Just now that he’s a little light that he’s not successful finishing as much. But once he gets that NBA body, I think it will be fun :lol

Wesley is about it.

[rascal]

Ivey injured his ankle.

[Mnky]

Ivey looks special. More so than any other rookie so far. Was excited when it was possible spurs might move up for him.

I like keegan Murray, but this is why you don't draft or prioritize need over talent. Giving away Haliburton, and then skipping on Ivey because of the roster make-up could end up being Franchise changing.

Still early obviously but both of those guys look special and kings could have had both. That would have been such an exciting backcourt and sold plenty of tickets in helping build a new brand.

[PhantomDashCam]

It was tough to watch him shoot all those 3s but the rest of the game came so easy to him.
His ability to guard big or small on the perimeter was impressive.

They ran him exclusively at the 4 yesterday too so I think he pressed a bit to impress the Hornets brass and show that he can be that for the team moving forward.

On a side note, Scottie Lewis, their second round pick from last year and close teammate, was also seriously injured (leg fracture) from earlier in the day in practice which seemed to affect the whole team’s morale too.

Look for him to be more focused in the next game.

[rascal]

Spurs had their sights set on Sochan and doubt they had any interest in trading up for Ivey.

It’s wesleys’ skill not his weight that must be cultivated. Ja Morant is lighter than him right?

[tonight...you]

I think he's really going to be something by the second half of Year 2.
He has something that's unbridled and always ready to burst.
All he needs is refinement. And I think he'll do it.

Shoot- Primo is already, after 1 year, showing significant improvements in his handle (which everybody and his momma was worried about), shot (I guess he's figuring out his new shooting style that won't injure himself) and an ability to defer and then immediately go into go-to scorer mode.

Which was great to see.

Ja Morant is listed at 6’3”. Wesley is listed at 6’5”. Ja also has more bounce, and doesn’t so much finish in traffic as over it.

Queta looks like he could be a keeper for the Kings. Good size, mobility, good in the pick and roll, blocks shots... overall knows his role. Useful player

[heyheymymy]

Bulls Knicks just started

Wanna get a look at Dalen Terry and also curious how Keels looks. Scouted both pretty hard for 20 and 38 ranges respectively iirc. Going to be the biggest what could've been if Dalen Terry does well and Branham flops. I was targeting Terry at 20 so the two kinda have a Vass/Hali relationship. Will be interesting to track but both seem like about a wash.

Montero, Sims, Grimes, McBride all guys I'm hoping do well.

Why is that relevant? it's not like we passed on Dalen Terry anyway... he went #18 and we took Branham @ 20, so what's the point in revisiting the choice?

We did pass on Haliburton, but this is NOT the case...

[Mr. Body]

Yeah, not only couldn't we draft Terry, his team is apparently awful and he's a glue guy. If there's anyone not suited for this kind of play it's him.

[heyheymymy]

I was wondering if Bran would help push Terry into range for 20 in combo with other potential reaches and it worked out the other way around. There is a universe where Spurs might get Dalen Terry instead so I'm looking at the 2 with that perspective a bit for fun in a what could've been sense. Not sure the official consideration on Terry, just saying I scouted him in that range because he might've fallen around SAs picks there and been avail to consider picking.

Nothing crazy though, I agree it's a slightly different situation than Vass/Hali but still, the draft was a very fluid situation and with just a few different twists and turns the lay of the league could shift drastically and I'm glad it didn't because even with small sample size I've liked the look from Bran compared to Terry. That may be a future discussion of a steal with consideration of production at 20 vs. 18 since it's so neck and neck. That whole range was pretty fluid in mocks and those names were quite interchangeable there so there's def a sense of "what could've been" amongst those commonly mocked names in that range.

A summer to forget: Watching the game last night (SA/HOU) and it occurred to me that who, in theory, should be our top three players were out for various reasons. Primo and Lil Weezy were last years picks and again, in theory, should be more advanced than the other squad members. Than Sochan comes down with the 'rona and he is done.

What looked like it would be a competitive summer league team now looks pretty meh.

I know winning is not as important or even necessarily strived for but I still don't like losing even these scrimmage type of games.

Barlow, Days and of course Wesley all look interesting. Just have to wonder, what could have been.

Boy, are you going to be unhappy this year. If you can’t handle losing SL games, you should probably get some sort of counseling. The ONLY things we’ll probably be able to take away from this year are player development and draft positioning.

[rjv]

wesley looked fatigued but still showed flashes. i also think he suffered the same woes that primo experienced running the point in that he wasn't playing off ball and had to deal with the absence of any high screens or picks. but, unlike primo, blake can at least get to the basket. he just needs to learn how to finish (although he does draw a decent amount of fouls) and dish out. a little more muscle mass will also help him out.

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

Chet has got amazing open court burst for his size

Damn OKC has tons of promising depth.

Yeah, he's impressed me so far. Great hands and feel for the game. Him and Josh Giddey already have pretty good chemistry. I'm trying not to be impressed by what OKC has going but they are building up a nice group there.

[heyheymymy]

OKC has me staggering a bit, just bursting at the seams with interesting pieces.

SGA at the helm, with Mann and Giddey from 21

But reloaded in 22 with Chet, Dieng, Jalen Williams and Jaylin Williams.

Plus stuff like Wiggins and Poku if you can get it to work. And Dort is looming whom I like but not sure I'm enamored with him as much but still something producing and an interesting possible contributor.

Even Earl-Robinson was interesting to follow in school though not sure he's clicking yet in the pros

[Mr. Body]

Am I the only one who sees OKC as a weird-looking team with mismatched parts and wonders if they'll be any good? I like Giddey and Holmgren, but who else is that great other than SGA? I still feel like they'll win games when SGA goes off and not many others.

I said this shit over and over before the draft. He’s gonna get his shots blocked a lot in the NBA. People were infatuated with this dude. The tape was clear as day when I watched it.

[heyheymymy]

Yeah J Davis seems like a dodged bullet now and saying that as someone who liked Davis and was predicting him as the pick at 9. Wanted Sochan the most and thrilled with the pick personally.

Just overanalyzed it in your poll thread with Wright saying "We will pick BPA, even if that is a guard" which in hindsight seems like just a preemptive screen for dumping Walker all along. Very pleased with the potential from Sochan. I was strategizing before the draft that there were so many good guards around 20/25 that you could use 9 on Sochan and still back up now needed depth behind Vassell amid Walkers presumptive departure as well. Ended up happening and that's great!

Tony got blocked a lot early, first season plus some. He developed the tear drop, and from that he worked out a burst to the rack to almost place the ball off the glass without letting it go, making it virtually unblockable. Your flaws early in your career don’t have to stay with you.

[John B]

Steph Curry's Summer League average was 17pts, 4.6 rebounds, 4.2 assist, only 35% FG and 34.5% from 3. Good but not as good as Anthony Randolph, Anthony Morrow and Cartier Martin, all averaged more than 20 points plus. I don't know where those other 3 guys are, but Steph just won his 4th ring and pretty much changed the landscape of modern basketball. I'm not saying Johnny Davis will be great, maybe not even one of Wizards greats. But damn, it's Summer League :lol

[Mr. Body]

Keegan Murray looks pretty great. He's going to be productive in this league and almost totally ignored. Shareef Abdur-Raheem type.

[tonight...you]

I'm just not going to make any assumptions on any players off of their first Summer League play.
Primo...
He's still young and has a lot to learn.
Players do keep developing.
It is a thing.

[The Truth #6]

I’ve heard positive things about Tari Eason so far in Summer League. I wish Sochan could have played against him.

Keegan Murray looks pretty great. He's going to be productive in this league and almost totally ignored. Shareef Abdur-Raheem type.
I'm certainly VERY impressed. We all knew he was already very polished and could shoot, but he's been extremely efficient so far. Better than I expected.

[Ariel]

I’ve heard positive things about Tari Eason so far in Summer League. I wish Sochan could have played against him.
Sochan is more valuable than Eason in a team setting, like the playoffs. But in a pickup game where it's mostly everyone for themselves, Eason will likely have the edge.

[The Truth #6]

Fair point. And Branham might be similar as he likely needs a solid pnr game in a team setting to get him going.

[Kurgan]

I’ve heard positive things about Tari Eason so far in Summer League. I wish Sochan could have played against him.

Should be noted that Eason is two years older than Sochan. Hopefully we get to see him play soon because Primo's been a disappointment as far as lotto picks go. Wesley is a classic late 1st Spurs pick that will probably develop into a decent player after some time in G-League. Might be seen as a steal in a year or two.

[R. DeMurre]

I'm still excited to see Sochan, but that Smith/Eason combo looks pretty nice. They're a good yin/yang duo.

Summer league is basically trash unless you are a scoring guard. It’s a bunch of players trying to Jack as many shots as possible to get noticed.

[cd98]

not in ST land. timmy would have been labeled the second coming of brad daugherty after getting dominated by ostertag in his summer league debut.

This is actually a much exaggerated media story. I actually bought tickets and sat courtside for this game. It's true that Ostertag outscored Tim, but Tim still scored in double figures and looked good. Tim got into foul trouble and may have fouled out, I don't remember. But I left the arena excited about Tim, not worried that he would not be good. He has always looked like he belonged in the NBA and that Ostertag, a vet, had a good game against Tim means nothing. Tim played a solid game per usual and if you could rewind and watch it, you'd see he was just fine.

[cd98]

Tim's stats versus Ostertag: Tim 14 points on 6 of 10 shooting, 8 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 blocks. Ostertag "outplayed" Tim by scoring 21 points on 7 of 12 and 10 rebounds, no assists, and 5 blocks. Again, confirmed Tim fouled out. So if Tim wasn't in foul trouble in his first summer league game against a 2nd year player that was a starter for his time, then Tim probably outscores and outrebounds him. We just need to put the rumor that Tim had a bad summer league to bed.

Didn't Tim also play that whole summer league left-handed?

[cd98]

But, see, that’s objective thinking, and not what happens on ST. People here, had this happened now, would have freaked out.

Well I think the problem people here have is not realizing that Tim had 4 years of college experience and a refined game when he came into the league. He had physically matured too. So he came into the league ready to dominate. But a 19 year old kid? If Tim had played summer league at 19, he would have been schooled too. The only teenage kid that I saw dominate was Lebron, and that includes Kobe and Garnett. And Lebron was not built like a normal 19 year old. Expect 2-3 years to come into their own. But you are right, Spurstalk fan thinks if they can't be MJ in 3 summer league games with a week or two of practice, then they aren't going to be good.

i've read the article and seen the box score. in all honesty, jermaine o'neal was the one who actually outplayed timmy by a wider margin. as duncan said: "Jermaine (O'Neal) destroyed me. He was with Portland, was real young ... and Tag threw my stuff into the first couple of rows a few times."

the point is that ST's hyperbole would have applied to tim back then as much as it does today.

I think this might be selling branham short homie.

If Branham cant drive past NBA level defenders and athletes its actually pretty close. Offensive role player who struggles on defense. People forgot that Marco made almost 50 million in career earnings starting in 2007.

[Mnky]

Want to see them expand the offense with Barlow and Stewart

[hoopdreams11]

Stewart is playing well

[hoopdreams11]

[ace3g]

I see Branham having a Marco Belinelli level career which is still a pretty good pick for 20.

I see no comparison. Bellinelli wasn't skilled enough to be anything other than a backup role player quality player.

No, a girl wouldn't be bringing up Miss Cleo like that. Girls don't joke around like that.

Young Marco was a bad man.
If 22 got to that Spurs would be doing good.
You telling me or anyone else that 22 is gonna outpace young Marco?
A bold statement
You own it

Girl you go!

I see Branham having a Marco Belinelli level career which is still a pretty good pick for 20.

He already looks like he can make moves to get to the basket, on top of his apparent shooting, and he's not even practiced attacking the basket yet. He's going to be more than Beli.

He's at least a Finley, barring injury.

[Dex]

who gives a shit,tbh

Agreed.

I was really hoping to see what Primo and Sochan could show. Sochan hasn't played a lick, and Primo looked pretty poor before COVID knocked him out.

Wesley has been fun to watch...definitely some potential there and I like that he isn't holding back anything.

Branham has been a bit disappointing. Has the body of an NBA player but has to learn to play like one.

If the Spurs don't sign Days to at least a 2-way, they are idiots.

We'll see what the 5th game brings, but I expect more of the same and more scrubs getting playing time.

[spurs10]

Will watch tomorrow, but the outcome doesn't matter much. Hopefully some players shine a bit.

LOL pumps the breaks there, fella. Prime Finley was a beast.

He may have the potential to reach that level...but let's not get ahead of ourselves. He has a long ways to go

If he approached young Beli Spurs would have done good.

So I’m Cleo and you are Nostradamus ? The fact you know how it will all end up is fascinating! Brother I’m gonna skewer you when the time comes:) enjoy your time entertaining.

Miss Cleo
Girl are you in your period?
You now are trying too hard

[RC_Drunkford]

Branham is way more than Belli. Could become a 20 PPG scorer, just gotta see how his game translates to the big league. His defense is probably his biggest questionmark, he looks like a very poor defender

[BackHome]

You mean like Belli? Yeah

[J_Paco]

I don't see Michael Finley at all with Branham. Doesn't have the speed, quickness or leap ability that Mike had.

He'll have more of a chance of becoming a Heild, Belinelli or Herro - type gunner off the bench, IMO.

[J_Paco]

If he hits his ceiling maybe he'll become a player similar to Michael Redd (fellow Ohio State alum). Obviously, a right - handed version, though.

Effort seems to be there but his rotations and tendency to try to overplay help defense look like he just needs lots of coaching. Spot on though, his offensive game looks to be potentially very nice.

[Ariel]

Sochan's former Baylor teammate Kendall Brown looking good... went to the Pacers @ 48... big (6'6" w/out shoes), very athletic, skilled, smart... if he develops a shot will drastically outperform his draft position. Could have used him, TBH.

2-way contract candidate?
Don't know much about him, but if nothing else, height (7'1"), 3P% (40%) and age (19) alone should peak anyone's interest... but his FT% is horrid... 44%??? dude shoots almost the same from 3... still, must have some very evident cons for someone that young, tall, and with that ability to shoot 3s to go undrafted.

He makes Chet look stocky (7'1" 175 lbs), but as a 2 way bet... sure, I'm sold... bring him on!

He's got a physique that makes Chet Holmgren look like the Rock...but I'd still give him a 2 way and camp his scrawny self out at Whataburger for the season...
