I've done the laundry and dishes, fed the chihuahua, made coffee, swam, showered, dressed, changed collections, shelved and shifted books, walking with a Galarian slowpoke trying to catch psychics. Will go to 85 degrees for some bao and a tarot smoothie, then will call at UNLV to watch four games at Cox.
Go, Spurs, Go!
Warning to anybody going to Sunday's game general admission. Spurs play the 3rd game at Thomas & Mack. Lakers play the 4th game. Laker fans will swarm T&M all day and most definitely by game 3. Secure your seats early.
i'll be at the damn DMV when the game starts but the DVR is set. i hope primo knows that he has to register a triple double of 30, 10 and 10 with about three steals for good measure in order to avoid a total beat down from ST's usual suspects.

Sucks about Weis, wanted to see his shooting development
I'm still hesitant to expect Sochan to play based on that tweet imho
yeah, it just seems as if he was excited about the team playing and not necessarily that he would be. it'd be one hell of a turnaround if he did play, though.

Fair, but it's not like they are prepping for a Game 7 or anything here. Assuming he has passed protocol and feels healthy, I feel like he should be playing.
I also feel like he wouldn't be tweeting about Game Day if he wasn't going to be in the game, but...that's just me.

Some very early observations:
Barlow doesn't really look like an NBA player.
Wesley looks like a lean, athletic racing dog. Very aggressive player.
Branham needs a bit more of Wesley's attitude.

Mr. Body
07-08-2022, 04:35 PM
Don't worry about Primo's PG skills or Branham in this setting. These are fringe NBA players who met last week. Not a huge deal.
Branham is more of a system player. Hopefully they give him more looks.

Steve Smith keeps talking about Primos size and he's there in person. Also, looks like they worked on his release as well. It looks crisp and you can tell when he shoots he strictly uses his left hand as a guide hand.

He looks good to me. I'm most impressed with his decision making. He'd have at least 3 more dimes if his teammates didn't miss wide open shots.

He could have 30 at the half and ST would call him a bust.
Bran hasn’t played 1 minute of NBA ball and he’s a bust.
Pops a bust too. He’ll never materialize as an NBA coach.

Blake has great athleticism but he's been blocked 3 or 4 times going to his left. He needs to create contact and get into the chest of the defender.

I hear you, but it's probably because he's not a PG. He's better fit playing on the wing and scoring and creating instead of bringing the ball up.
Atl Spur
07-08-2022, 04:54 PM
Primo’s handle is impressive…..he’s doing fine. Being the leading scorer is not his focus…….hopefully he starts posting up here soon. His vision is pretty damn good also!!
spurraider21
07-08-2022, 04:54 PM
I don't disagree, but Murray was so bad in SL that he got benched his sophomore year.
oh i wouldnt call him a disaster by any stretch. i was just expecting a bit more pop. Tre Jones impressed a ton during last year's summer league, by way of example.

Pops a bust too. He’ll never materialize as an NBA coach.
I think what people are seeing and not saying is that he gives up the ball immediately if pressed by his defender at all.
He has been seeing doubles, but he absolutely will need to be able to take a guy one on one if he is going to be anything more than Josh Richardson.
spurraider21
07-08-2022, 04:55 PM
I hear you, but it's probably because he's not a PG. He's better fit playing on the wing and scoring and creating instead of bringing the ball up.
yeah but my issue is that per timvp, the spurs see him as the PG of the future and that was part of why they felt it was the right decision to trade Murray

Wes is win win because he either hacks away at it this season till he crystalizes into a budget Ivey Morant lol or you ride his tank to a #1 23 FRP if he busts and fails.
All at #25 which is very advantageous positioning to take a swing from a risk reward balance perspective.

Wes is win win because he either hacks away at it this season till he crystalizes into a budget Ivey Morant lol or you ride his tank to a #1 23 FRP if he busts and fails.
All at #25 which is very advantageous positioning to take a swing from a risk reward balance perspective.
i dont know how Wesley is a budget Ivey when Ivey hasnt exactly made a name for himself yet. Wesley is having a better night than Ivey did yesterday scoring wise

In the sense that ivey and Wes have similar toolkits so if Wes works out he would be a bargain since ivey was the premium name brand version of that same template type player roughly

yeah but my issue is that per timvp, the spurs see him as the PG of the future and that was part of why they felt it was the right decision to trade Murray
Yeah I feel it. Besides that last bad pass where he got caught in the air, he has found the open man time and time again. Granted I still think he would be better as a wing and getting the ball off a pass and scoring or creating.

Not that winning games matters in SL, but team looks totally discombobulated right now.
Chinook
07-08-2022, 05:08 PM
People who thought the Spurs had the best talent in SL need to look at some other teams. Lots of clubs have three or four first-rounders on their clubs. SA doesn't even have Sochan. But it's clear they could've used a tune-up league like CA or UT. Probably a cost-cutting measure by the VC folks rearing its head.
BatManu20
07-08-2022, 05:08 PM
There you go Malaki
They all seem very nervous. With that said, primos handles look like they're going to be something special one day. Still isn't 20 and making some really tough crossovers. He gets by his man easily but his processing after that point has been pretty bad. Doesn't have a plan or reason for why he gets by him.
Blake looks great. Don't mind the failures at the rim. He's causing havoc and getting his teammates good looks.
Branham is being too aggressive in my opinion. As soon as he gets the ball it's in the air quick. He thinks he has to score the moment he gets it. That mindset won't work well in the NBA. Needs to calm down much more than the other spurs.
Game looks too fast for all of them right now but there's been plenty of good to take away so far. They don't have a legitimate big who can shoot or finish on the team at all. Makes a difference in what the wings can do as well.
Fun players to watch so far. They all want the ball.

I don't disagree, but Murray was so bad in SL that he got benched his sophomore year.
I think Murray was affected by trade rumors going on at the time. Definitely there was a kind of attitude problem if I remember correctly, but he definitely was awful.

It’s only summer league but the tank will be alive and well.
Another thing is moving without the ball. These spurs are horrific. They create no lanes for the initiator on offense. Cavs recognized this and are constantly doubling. The spurs without the ball are just standing waiting for their turn to shoot, not moving well at all off ball.
Way too many players just chunking the ball when they touch it and waiting for their "turn" instead of playing basketball.

Conditioning
These players haven't been playing hard in awhile. Wesley was playing all out.
This off the ball is horrendous man. Primo hasn't been great with decisions, but right now his man cut in and then stopped. This is high school level basics these guys aren't operating with. Lots of silly street ball errors.
On a positive note, Primo definitely looks bigger/taller. Sure that won't sit well with his hater club.

Primo is still listed at 6"4 on NBA.com, but I swear he looks 6"7.
