Spurs are not playing in San Franciscor or Salt Lake City

[Robz4000]

Wonder why the Spurs aren't playing Utah this year.

[stnick2261]

They scared

[Degoat]

Wonder why the Spurs aren't playing Utah this year.

Right!? I fcking love the summer league games. I wonder if it’s just to many games to play in both because they rested guys last year lmao

[pookenstein]

Wonder why the Spurs aren't playing Utah this year.

I think I read somewhere that all 30 teams play a total of 5 games each and the two with the best record play against each other for the title.

[pookenstein]

Yup.


The first four games for each team have been announced. After those games are completed, the league will seed all 30 teams and schedule a fifth game for each. The top two seeds will play in the championship game on Sunday, July 17, at 3 p.m. ET on ESPN. All other teams will play their final game on either July 16 or July 17.

Usually they'd play three in Utah then five in Vegas iirc.

[BatManu20]

Hopefully Daniels or Sochan tears it up for us.

[objective]

4 picks in top 40 while still having super young Primo?

Let's cancel going to Utah!

Going to Utah probably will run six figures, Spurs too broke

Samanic isn't ready yet

[Chinook]

The SL has historically been my favorite part of the year. I've really hated what's happened to it after ESPN brought the broadcasting rights. It went from being a treat for nerds/hardcore fans to a casual spectacle.

I miss getting streaming access to every game for like $15 back in they day. I have ESPN, but it doesn't feel the same when you're at their discretion about when to watch the games.

[emanueldavidginobili]

Primo, Sochan, Branham, and Wesley. Damn it's going to be an exciting summer league team to watch. Two weeks from today, can't wait.

[objective]

Which 6-5 shooting guard will play at SF?

[BackHome]

Branham

[JeffDuncan]

Looks like the Spurs also have summer league deals with Jordan Hall, Kyler Edwards, and Darius Days. Not sure of the details yet.

I wish we'd add John Butler to that list..

[Ariel]

I'm far more interested in this than I was in the play in.

[Ocotillo]

I know at his stage in tenure in the NBA Langford would not go to Summer League but if he wanted to prove something, would he be able to go? He is so peripheral at the moment he may want to sell himself if not to the Spurs but to another team.

[Dex]

Sucks we aren't doing Utah this year...4-5 games ain't a lot for either viewing pleasure or coaching evaluation

My understanding is there is no restriction on who can play, so he technically could. But like you said, it's probably "beneath him" since Summer League is usually for rookies and GLeague prospects, not guys who have been in the league 3 years (although not with a lot to show for it)

Especially with three first-round picks and a fewer-than-normal amount of games. I would be surprised to see anyone from last year's main club in the Summer League outside of maybe one game of Primo and perhaps some minutes for Wieskamp and other end-of-roster guys.

yeah, those were the days. basketball in its purest form.

Spurs are into those polite young men.

[Degoat]

I wonder with 4 rooks on the summer league team if the spurs might decide that Primo doesn’t need to go. I doubt that but they’ve been signing a lot of Summer leagues guys it seems

[Vince Carter's ankle]

I wonder with 4 rooks on the summer league team if the spurs might decide that Primo doesn’t need to go. I doubt that but they’ve been signing a lot of Summer leagues guys it seems
1) Primo
2) Wesley
3) Branham
4) Sochan
5) Barlow

[KingKev]

I think he should go. If he looks leaps and bounds better than his competition first game or two just shut him down.

[Biggems]

Butler and Lee are both still out there. Scoop up and bring em to Vegas. Butler is in the KD mold, long, tall SG. Lee is a long distance sharpshooter from Davidson.

[BackHome]

1) Primo
2) Wesley
3) Branham
4) Sochan
5) Barlow

Yeah, Primo needs to be there for a couple of reasons for one he needs all the work he can get and two I think he is the same age as these guys. So it would help them to get to know each other and Primo can give them the lay of the land on what to expect from Pop...

[Mr. Body]

Wieskamp should be going. I'm unsure about Primo. He was starting down the stretch and that was better experience than he'll get in SL.

[TD 21]

Apparently Walton Jr. will play with the Spurs. Journeyman/fringe NBA type PG with some experience in the league.

[BatManu20]

Primo should be on the team imo, at least for a while. And if he starts dominating then they can just pull him out like they did Kyle Anderson when he proved too good to be there.

They almost always bring the previous year’s FRP(s) to SL the next year, if only for a short burn,and to get to know the new guys.

[KingKev]

Primo needs to play SL. Be interesting to see how he stacks up against Wesley and Branham.

[scott]

Have seen a lot of teams release their SL rosters - have the Spurs?

[BatManu20]

Official SL Roster has been released.

[rjv]

i had seen that woodard is on the roster again. it'd be interesting to see how he fares as a fringe interest.

[rjv]

of course, it will be great to see how barlow reacts to what will probably be the best competition he's yet to face. and as one article noted, if primo actually plays all five games.

[Ocotillo]

Doesn't mean anything but interesting to see Dom Barlow is listed as a forward only and not both F/C

[Seventyniner]

I'm thinking Primo plays a max of 2 games, and maybe only one if he plays well enough in it.

[Chinook]

I'm thinking Primo plays a max of 2 games, and maybe only one if he plays well enough in it.

I see no reason to not expect him to play the full SL. This is his year to be the featured option. Next year is for the rookies. People reference Anderson sitting but forget that he sat in his third SL. He played every game of his second and won MVP.

[PhantomDashCam]

Guessing starters for first game: Primo, Branham, Woodard, Sochan, Barlow with Wesley first sub off the bench and potentially replacing Primo after the first one...

[Mugen]

I'm basing my assumption on there only being 5 SL games total. Are there more?

If I'm right, I'm assuming that the FO has seen enough of Primo compared to the three (oops, four) rooks to where they'd rather give the new guys a few games to get their feet wet, rather than have them all play mostly off the ball while Primo does his thing.

They'll see those guys in the d-league and training camp. It makes more sense to evaluate someone like Primo, especially as they attempt to make moves to address their rotation. The young guys likely don't factor into it, especially as primary ball-handlers.

Also the Spurs have had five SL games in the past. They only started doing the Utah SL a few years ago. They used to play their Vegas games and lose them and get a single consolidation game every year.

[Russ]

Interesting that Tre Jones isn't on the roster.

[Degoat]

He balled out last summer league, he’s payed his dues

[wildbill2u]

Won't be but a couple of guys who know the system and plays. This is going to be like pick up games for the most part. Players are going to be going with their instincts and natural moves, but that's cool.

[Dejounte]

Looking forward to some electric dunks by Wesley

[The Truth #6]

Curious to see what the future holds for Lil Weezy. I didn't follow him that closely last year.

[offset formation]

Probably not a good look for PATFO should Primo or one of the rookies outshine him by a wide margin. He needs to be consistent whether it's passing, shooting, defending, not having a bunch of TOs because quite frankly he stunk in every one of those metrices last year.

[John B]

Primo needs to play SL. Be interesting to see how he stacks up against Wesley and Branham.

I think we’ll see a lot of Primo this year. He will be Spurs starting PG

[KingKev]

Don’t remember the Spurs ever sending a player to SL after two complete seasons on the 15 man roster.

[Cardinal]

So Primo lost an inch… he was listed at 6-6 last summer. Wieskamp’s height remains 6-6. Strange.

Sochan was assumed to be 6-9 in the pre-draft period, but clocks in at 6-8 here.

Just some observations. I dont think this listing is particularly reliable given what happened to Primos height.

They probably are measuring shoeless which is the correct, apples to apples comparison and now official measuring standard of the NBA. NBA.com had Primo 6’4 shoeless last October so he probably is pushing 6’5 now.

[Dejounte]

Which means fans should adjust their expectations accordingly on what height they think players should be for certain positions i.e.,

if they thought a PF should be at least 6’9”, then they should be okay reading a player is 6’8” now
if they thought a SF should be at least 6’7”, then they should be okay reading a player is 6’6” now

and so forth

[Drom John]

I’ll be there FYI - will report back

I'll be there 8th and 10th.

Also, instead of the lineup with the best five, I think it will be more likely that the best will be split into two squads.
If so, then the story for me is who's point on the second squad.

Primo will likely handling point duties here since he knows the system best and the Spurs want to see where he’s taken his playmaking abilities

I think Wesley will be the primary ball handler on the second unit

I think Branham will be the leading scorer (not a bold prediction)

A Spurs reporter said Primo looks to be as tall as Manu. So Primo is like 6‘6“. Primo also said he hasn‘t measured yet

[mystargtr34]

I hope Murray makes a big impact for the Kings, love his game. Probably the only guy outside of the Big 4 that I would trade for Sochan (would say no to Mathurin, Sharpe, Daniels or anyone that went below Sochan).

Also, Kings being good means less tanking threats tbh.

[mystargtr34]

Maybe Mathurin in a vacuum you could talk me into.

[emanueldavidginobili]

Yup exactly. He’s NBA ready right now and ready to contribute from day 1 imo. For the first time in forever it seems like the Kings made the right pick for Murray over Ivey. I think the Kings desperately need a player like Murray. Just calm, cool, and collective. Compared to the erratic players they have drafted recently.

[siraulo23]

damn im excited to see the young ones play

wish they also played in salt lake SL

[SPURt]

Gui Santos looked good today. 6’8, 20 yr old out of Brazil. The Warriors got him with the 55th pick. Hard to tell what he is against Summer League competition but he couldn’t have made a better first impression.

Nah Sochan would be better. Keegan could be a better scorer, but Sochan would be a better all-around player. Maybe on this draft only Chet is better as far as being all-around. I hate to compare, but yes Timmy is so much better because he’s best all-around than a TMac or Vince Carter who could score more. That’s how I see Sochan, his impact on both sides of the court. And once Spurs develops his Point Forward skills even more, watch out how they redraft this batch years from now. Spurs really got something special on Sochan.

Yeah l love Sochan and he was my guy since about Feb this year. I would probably struggle to pull the trigger on a Sochan for Keegan Murray trade too if I think about who’s going to have more impact on winning, despite what I said a few hours ago :lol

[couchman]

I like Sochan a lot but you’re fooling yourself if you think he was higher on the Spurs draft board than Keegan

All the people who mocked the Kings for taking Murray over Ivey could wind up looking like idiots. I know it's easy to laugh at the Kings, but Murray had the highest floor in the draft imho.

I didn't like just about any of the smaller guards in this draft. Not Ivey, not Davis (just to bug John B) - they all lacked ability to create with the ball (low A/36, low A/To ratio).

He posted a picture on his story today of him dunking not sure if that was a present day picture or not, but I think he will play in the summer league and certainly not miss the entire SL.

During the practices the summer Spurs have held before heading to Las Vegas, the rookies have caught the attention of their peers.

“They’re really good,” Primo said. “Blake is great offensively and defensively. And Malaki is really savvy. He knows how to get to his spots. He’s got some physical attributes that make him pretty special.”


The 3-and-D impact Branham provides will be the foundation of how he makes his impact in the NBA. As for Wesley, he needs to refine his shooting mechanics, but regardless, he's a highly explosive athlete who can make plays in the paint.

“I have been shooting a lot with Malaki, and he shoots the crap out of it,” Joe Wieskamp said. “The thing I like about (Wesley) is he sees the floor really well. There have been a couple of times where he is getting downhill, playing through traffic, and he’s able to kick out to shooters. I really like that about him.”

The four teams these last two days didn't have much NBA talent on them. Santos looks like a miss for basically everyone with GSW getting a steal.

The Spurs players should do really well, but we'll see.

Is Keegan that much better than his twin brother Kris?

Kris will be in next year's draft. And the Spurs may have a shot at him with the Charlotte pick.

[lefty20]

Wonder why the Spurs aren't playing Utah this year.

This is complete speculation on my part.

But I saw on twitter last night that we've yet to officially sign our rookies to their contract.

Now I don't know how salary cap is affected by their cap hold vs contract. But holding them out of Utah could be because we're tying to keep the max cap space available for as long as possible to help facilitate trades and what not.

I would imagine that the rooks will have officially inked the papers before they take court in Vegas.

[CGD]

^ I think it’s more related to Sochan being on COVID protocols and the team wanting to get the photo opp of signing them together etc.

Very similar but there's a pretty wide gap in confidence level...we'll just have to see how Kris responds playing on a team without his brother. Physically there's not much separating them..

They wouldn’t hold it up for that. They would hold it up for max cap room. There is a rookie scale, but you can pay between 80% and 120% of your slot amount.

I'm pretty sure that first round capholds are already set to the 120% rookie scale. It was changed to put an end to teams screwing around with rookies like the Spurs used to

People would've said something similar about Ivey before the season started...the point isn't to say that Murray v2 will go on the lottery or the 2nd rd...it's just to say that he's got a similar skillet and physical traits as his brother going into a season where he's more of a focal point...he's got a chance to go high...and he's got a chance to go low...but its not etched in stone by any means...

That's the whole point. At this moment, he's a guy averaging less than 10 points and 5 rebounds at almost 22 years old. So if anything, it's not me who's making a bold claim by going on the evidence we have at the moment, but whomever is proposing we pick him next year with a projected high first rounder with no other argument than the genetic semblance with his twin brother who got picked high this year.

I never said take him with a high first round pick, was just asking if his game was similar to his brothers(of course he isn't as good at this time) and taking him with charlotte's pick(outside the lottery) if his game was not too far off his brother's game.

Just 'cause they're twins doesn't mean they have the same game.
If they did, he'd be in the Lottery the same year.
Assuming they had the same upbringing...

I didn't even know he had a brother. I don't follow college basketball at all. Maybe if I lived in the US I would, but since I don't, I don't really have time to follow it. Is he that much worse than his brother that he'll still be in the range the Spurs might be picking in?

Are you talking about the Morris twins? Can't recall any others, oh, just remembered the Lopez twins. As for the Morris twins, wasn't Markieff supposed to be the better of the two coming into the NBA? I always liked Marcus better, though, but maybe that is because he played in bigger games with better teams. Too bad he screwed the Spurs over as I thought he would have been a good fit with the team the year he was supposed to sign before pulling out.

Weirdly, both Keegan Murray and Johnny Davis had twin brothers who played with them. I think Davis's brother stayed in school.
