could be an interesting watch.

[Rocalcio]

Where can it be watched ?

[rjv]

Where can it be watched ?

ESPN 2.

[CGD]

Hell yes. Hopefully they play in both games

[BacktoBasics]

This should be interesting. I would be equally excited to see Scoot as a Spur.

[Ariel]

Thanks, will watch hopefully our future Spur... praying for Wembanyama, but whichever of the 2 we get I'm happy.

Keep them bones and ligaments right... he's a true game-changer.
His fluidity is incredible at his height.

Brian Wright, R.C. Buford, and Brent Barry are in attendance as the G League Ignite host Metropolitans 92 in Las Vegas tonight, per @mikefinger (https://twitter.com/mikefinger/).Excellent opportunity for the Spurs’ brass to scout Victor Wembanyama, Scoot Henderson, and several other high-profile prospects.

They better be there!

Biggest game of the season for Spurs fans

[ace3g]

Wemby block!!!

[ace3g]

Chased down a rebound/loose ball from opposite side of the court.

[Leetonidas]

Wemby already dominating :wow

[BacktoBasics]

Scoot looks great. If Wemby wasn’t such a physical freak Scoot would be considered the number 1 pick. He is easily the more polished and nba ready player.

[BatManu20]

Wembanyama is a fucking cheat code. Dude is an insane prospect. Still convinced he’s going to be injury prone though. Could easily see his career being decimated by injuries.

[BatManu20]

Scoot would be an awesome consolation prize. He’s prob the #1 overall pick on any other draft.

[Leetonidas]

As long as Spurs get one of the first two picks I'll be happy. Either one of these guys are game changers

[ace3g]

Scoot looks bigger than his 6'2 listing.

[Ariel]

Scoot stealing the show... you can tell he's playing with a chip on his shoulder. Also, Leonard Miller showing himself.

[Leetonidas]

French team doesn't run their offense thru Wemby at all though. Very different styles of offense

[thiste]

Don't forget the start of this game is at 4am France time, gotta take that into account. They're probably sleepy rn.

[CGD]

https://twitter.com/BenGolliver/status/1577458443023106049

“possible” — lol

[CGD]

I still can’t believe what I’m seeing.

He’s like evolutionary Kevin Durant who actually gives a damn of defense.

[stephen jackson]

Damn wemby looks
good wasn’t really a believer but he looks amazing

[stephen jackson]

Damn he’s completely token over the second half

[ace3g]

Ignite 91-88 end of 3rd.

[stephen jackson]

Can’t go wrong with scoot second either. Looks good

[Rocalcio]

Does anyone have a link to watch this please ?

[stephen jackson]

Wemby is something else if he can stay healthy it’s a no brainer

[Rocalcio]

ESPN 2 Stream (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_dTLeM1K1E)

Thanks, I actually found it on the NBA app. It’s 6:15 am here in France but I wanted to watch at least a part of it. Kid looks great..

[itzsoweezee]

Anyone still doubting the decision to tank? A good shoot at two can’t miss generational talents is more than worth it

[BacktoBasics]

Both these guys are flat out amazing. What a game. Whoever lands in the top two is getting a franchise changing player.

[stephen jackson]

Wemby has a mean streak i love it , from the lil videos I seen it didn’t seem like that but I think he has a nba scoring mentality, I pray we get him

[baseline bum]

Damn I thought LeBron looked incredible at 18 but Victor looks like a superior prospect at that age.

They aren't mentioning blocks, he got 5 or 6

[Ariel]

Damn I thought LeBron looked incredible at 18 but Victor looks like a superior prospect at that age.
LeBron was built like a tank even in HS, Wembanyama looks great but his frame does give you pause... but he's just too massive a talent to pass up.

[Rocalcio]

And he has that winner mentality, you could see his frustration after his team lost the game. He’s definitely not responsible for this lose…

[Spurs Homer]

Holy shit the skinny tall dude is like a young timmy- but longer and a better shooter

wow!

Anyone who argues that we should push for the play in is either an idiot or trolling.

Wembanyama finishes with 7 three-pointers and 5 blocks, something that's only happened once in NBA history

For the first time in almost a decade, I'm thrilled the Spurs will have one of the worst coaches in the league for the upcoming season :lol

Please god, let this team win less than 20 games

We better get used to it ^^

:lol I guarantee there are some Sniff Crew members out there that are against tanking..."wouldn't be fair" cuz the old man said so...

[stephen jackson]

I needed this game to handle all the losses we gonna have it’s gonna be well worth it

[justinandimcool]

Wembanyama

Incredible shooting touch. That step back three miss where he was fouled was nasty. Dude will be shooting 15 threes/100 poss. He is a #1 prospect on shooting touch alone. Dho, pick and pop, faceup, mid post, fast break, whatever

Nice post play late in the 4th, doesn’t matter as he won’t get a ton of those looks in the NBA tbh. But a jump hook is always nice for a center no matter what, and he has one

Looks absolutely lost running the pnr as a roller. Needs more reps.

Completely soft on the boards, yikes.

Incredible second jump, and recovery in general across the lane. Will be an all time rim protector and help defender tbh

Awfully slow switching out to guards, but not horrible. Al Horford level at worst. Only about a step behind Scoot Henderson’s drive who is lightning quick, then got a nice block on his attack of the rim at the end of the game. A little late reading the timing when he’s on the weak side or caught in a switch away from the basket tbh

—————-

Henderson

Good natural shooting touch. Not a ton of range like Trae Young, rises up a bit slow, but it’s good enough. Impeccable Irving like handle- changes speeds, quick dribbles, can finish with both hands on either side of the basket. Extremely polished for his age.

Similar to Cade Cunningham in how he reads the game, but Rose/Wall like in his explosion to the rim. That control of speed is the most exciting part of his game, given that he is willing to make plays for his teammates. Found a couple of “easy” next pass away shooters which was nice, and had a good pocket pass on the pnr. Is a patient floor general, had control of the game and setting up his teammates communicatively.

Will still need patience tbh. Point guards take forever to develop no matter how good.



tldr: 0-82. shut Johnson and Poeltl down by Thanksgiving. Henderson is superstar talent, Wembanyama is generational talent

[slick'81]

Lol@spur fan shitting on victor:lol

if okc or utah lucks into him in the west:cry

He isn’t soft on the board, in the French championship he gets a lot of rebounds. That was just a game without it but we’ll see more on Thursday.

[D-Robinson 50 fan]

This draft overall is going to be pretty good. I enjoyed watching this game though, both Victor and Scoot balled out. Can’t wait for the NCAA season to start to check out some of those guys also. We need to try and get some more picks in this draft for sure.

[Brazil]

A 7-4 dude shooting 7/11 from 3 :lol

To all spurs fans bitching about tanking... shut up

[Vince Carter's ankle]

What difference does it make if Pacers end up with the first pick?

oh you mean we have a chance ? :lol

yes, it's a deep lottery. nick smith and amen thompson are going to be solid picks as well (if amen could develop a shot, he's scary good) but it's clear that wemba and scoot are 1a and 1b-definitely in a tier above the rest. they did not disappoint and both demonstrated skill sets and talents that validated the large amount of scouts that were at the game last night. get your spurs candles out everyone. we need to start lighting them now.

[Trill Clinton]

Send the rookies to Austin for the year and let's tank hard. After last night OKC is going to try to go 0-82

[scott]

You know this is all setting up for the Spurs to finish with the worst record but still pick 5th while OKC and Utah get rewarded.

[KingKev]

Brian Wright appears very capable these last 12 months.

I don’t think he enjoyed sniffing Pop’s panties/depends along the way but those days are slowly fading. We all make sacrifices to better our careers.

[TD 21]

I realize it was a one game exhibition, but I'm almost always lower on players than consensus, yet even I was blown away by these two in the first few minutes.

The league's longstanding grudge with the Spurs (not being "partners" while on top + "load management") means they'll more than likely continue to screw them, but they still need to trade Poeltl and Richardson immediately and do anything else required to finish last and secure top odds.

[rjv]

last season my mantra for the Spurs was "every win is a win and every loss is a win" but this year it's "every win is a loss and every loss is a win". that's the closest i'll ever get to being an advocate for the "tank".

[KingKev]

Lose by any means necessary. If you think Keldon, Vassell or Primo are future stars you don’t watch NBA basketball.

[Ice009]

Yep, these two look amazing. Would be very happy with either one of these guys. Not going to be greedy. Would be happy with the second pick if we can't get the first.

[Russ]

Wembanyama looks like he's filled out a bit. Not looking quite so fragile.

He looks more like a younger skinnier Duncan than a death stick.

[Russ]

Wembanyama and Henderson collide.

And Henderson is out of the game.

[KingKev]

Wembanyama looks like he's filled out a bit. Not looking quite so fragile.

He looks more like a younger skinnier Duncan than a death stick.

He doesn’t look near as frail or awkward as Chet.

[Russ]

He doesn’t look near as frail or awkward as Chet.

I'm sold at this point. (Me and everyone else.)

[Rocalcio]

Wembanyama going for a more all around game tonight with 18pts, 7rbds, 2 assists with 8 minutes remaining in the 3rd. I don’t have the infos for the blocks on ESPN.

[Rocalcio]

36 pts, 11 rbds, 4 assists, 4 blocks, 1 steal at the end of the game.

It must not happen a lot to Rudy to have to look up like that.
