Metu needs NBA minutes ASAP. He's got the complete package.
Where are the fucking retards who were going on and on about Luka's "shitty career"? :lmao
https://youtu.be/qmDwEUQrsDY
https://youtu.be/wrepthHPc8khttps://youtu.be/wrepthHPc8k
Metu was 8-9 , 2-3 from the field scored 18 in the first quarter and they kind of went away from him. Seemed they were force feeding Luka. Confidence builder game because he had played like complete shit the last 3 or 4 games? Dumno?
I won't blame that on the loss, the whole team was over doubling and pressuring the ball handlers.
Poor defensive Focus all around
https://youtu.be/dXCpvXBagXU
https://youtu.be/JWXsBnvwpyE
Luka did score did get Rebounds he did take shots.
but he was 1-4 from 3 pt line
Quinndary was hot early with the 3's and faded late. I thought he forced those shots late in the game. I don't know if that was by design. Metu was pretty accurate early, but i don't think he took a shot the entire second half.
Luka Fans, he took the most shots, got the most minutes..... I don't think they were impactful IMHO. Don't know if Keldon and Metu were used sparingly because they had just flown back from Phoenix(probably commercial) After being with the big boys the last six or seven days or because Coach thought Luka needed a confidence Builder because of his poor performances the last few games.
Oklahoma was hot, and they did hustle but have not been the best of teams in the G League this year.
Again the team as a whole was very JUMPY on double and triple teams. Matt Bonner mentions time and time again in the 4th quarter that this was happening when they should play straight up D. The pressure D just caused a bunch of fouls and put Oklahoma in the Bonus.
Watched the game, and now understand why Samanic hasn’t sniffed the big club yet. He is SO FUCKING LAZY on defense. Multiple times last night OKC would get a rebound, and get out on the break, and he literally jogs down the court so slowly that he couldn’t even contest a trailing three point attempt. He’ll have to clean that up.
I actually went to the game last night and Luka's motor is awful.Quote:

Metu out of all the players at shoot around seems to have a routine and takes it serious. He went to certain areas on the court and practiced certain shots seriously for a numerous amount of attempts then would go to another area and do the same. His shooting form looks really smooth and consistent also. He played around a little bit in the layup lines and shoot around but overall he was mostly very serious and concise
High hopes for Luka. Davis bertans with a post up game and higher iq.
I hope so also.Quote:

Luka has the athletic ability, body type, and shooting stroke to be a really good player and way better than Bertans but that's only if he really gives a damn about the game and tries to improve or give his all when he is on the court.
Not worried about Luka as Metu played pretty bad last year in G League which is why it takes some players one to three years to be ready for NBA when drafted.
He just turned 20 years old. Hope the coaching staff gets him to learn work ethic.Quote:

It's not that he's screwing up plays, or playing badly. He just doesn't seem to GAF. He knows how to play. You can tell when the ball is in his hands. He's got all of the tools. He just only really seems to come to life when the ball is in his hands. The thing is, he'll never be a #1 option in the NBA. He needs to play well without the ball, or he'll bust out and wind up back in Europe.Quote:

Becky Hammon, on Spurs' first-round rookie Luka Samanic: "We’re going to stay on him. There’s times where he has these 'ooo-ahh' moments. There’s other times you have to remember he’s 19."
https://youtu.be/Fa-fCCHVMno
Trey? Don't think so....
I'm very high on Metu. He looks like he has put it together and really has no holes in his game at all. The comparisons to an early Siakam are definitely not far fetched.Quote:

How's his rim protection / help defense?
We talk about getting over yourself a lot on this board game and I think it kinda pertains to Metu. When he got signed you could tell he wasn’t happy not getting any minutes with the big boys and when he played in G League he was like a black whole on offense would not pass at all. I think being around the Big team this year more and him still getting playing time in G League and getting a few minutes with big team has helped him I also wonder how much Timmy is spending with him.
His stats have improved from last year. https://www.basketball-reference.com...metuch01d.htmlQuote:

Metu needs some burn. Real minutes outside of garbage time (which the Spurs rarely get anyways). He'd be miles better than Demar or Marco at 4 which Pop loves to go to. It's actually funny seeing all the young players the Spurs have to develop, then watching Pop trot out the same fixed, vet-heavy lineups in the main team. Can't wait for Becky to take the helm next year.
You have to wonder why they don't play Metu while Gay is injured. Doesn't he play the same position?Quote:

For ceperez the answer is pop and beli.
Metu too me is a poor mans paskal Siakam, and when he finally gets a chance, the fans will see it. Of course it will likely be in his final contract year, and then he will leave for a bigger payday. The Spurs have addressed their guards of the future, and the forward and centers are still unknown. Time to let Metu loose. He has to have more upside than Lyles, and Gay is not the future at all.-Captain Obvious!
The main reason I want to see Metu play is his defense and shot-blocking ability. This team needs all the defense it can get and I think he can replace a player who averages 5 points per game

he wasn’t too aggressive if he wasn’t actually involved in the play on offense in the game I seen live. Quindary was pretty aggressive in the 2nd half and almost brought the team back.Quote:

Luka overall and especially on defense needs to be more aggressive. Offensively I’ve seen Watching some replays that he can be aggressive but to a fault. He has to figure out a go to move and counter and work hard on those I feel. Sometimes he tries to do a bit too much offensively but defensively he doesn’t give as great an effort.
I agree here. Metu has enough talent and skill to replace Lyles.Quote:

How's Kavion Pippen looking? The kid is tall.
athleticish on large bigman curve, has post moves. I don't know about his conditioning. He doesn't get much time because of Eubanks and Metu. Coach started luka at center instead of Him. He and the Back up unit kept getting the game close, he definitely clogged the paint.Quote:

At least 5 of Luka's shots this game were uncontested bunnies to the glass. Safe to say he's not getting many of those in the NBA. But he's moving smoother and that shooting stroke looks good. As for Keldon, he should be practicing his shots more during GL games but it's great to see the aggressiveness that he has when attacking the rim and finishing. Nobody on the Spurs has that fire except for DeRozan when he's not bitching about calls. Hopefully we blow it up soon and bring him over... I'd like to see what he can really do.Quote:

What part specifically? Luka is absolutely not getting those bunnies in the NBA. Keldon absolutely has to work on his shot. If you're going to diss others for analyzing the game and players, you might as well put in the effort to make a little analysis yourself, otherwise you come off as, ironically, a complaining a-hole.Quote:

Agreed on all counts. The thing about Keldon, though, is that for the Spurs specifically his ability to finish at the rim (while obviously useful to an extent) is not a need of urgency. Due to the team's current composition (I'm skeptical the FO will blow it up until at least next season) the lanes and paint will be much too clogged for Keldon to go to work using his body, and given that we already have a lot of non-shooting players that already clog the paint to a degree, adding a non-shooting SG/SF (it's irrelevant if Keldon plays the 2 or 3 since DeMar will occupy the other guard position) is a recipe for disaster. Teams will easily dare the Spurs to shoot from outside. Keldon going with the bench lineup isn't much better in this aspect either (even though ideally he should start for his defense alone in place of the POS midget); White is more of a pass-first PG and Rudy doesn't trust his shot nowadays for some reason, and obviously Jakob "3pt shot" Poeltl doesn't space the floor in the slightest.Quote:

I don't see Keldon playing much with the starters when he comes up, and those issues aren't as pressing with the bench squad. White, Lonnie, Patty, and one of Rudy/Trey can all shoot. The only non-shooter is Poeltl.Quote:

What today is our young bench playing behind the vets could all be starting next season, or not - at this point I see the Spurs missing the PO but that doesn't necessarily mean the FO blows it up, especially with Pop at the helm. I will say that, no matter his teammates, Keldon developing a reliable jumpshot would add a lot more dimensions to his game beyond taking it to the rim like he does now.Quote:
Originally Posted by exstatic

As long as Pop is coaching the team, I won't be surprised to see him keep forcing no-D undersized shooters to "compensate" for the starters' general lack of outside shooting. In this picture, Keldon developing a 3pt shot makes him not only playable with the starters, but starting material at the 2/3. Again, it's all mere speculation until we see which path the FO will want to take for next season and beyond. Team could look very different by next year's training camp.Quote:

Didn’t watch the game, only highlights, but Luka’s showing exactly why he’s such an exciting prospect - quick flawless jump shot, athleticism, awareness, putting the ball on the floor and beating people to the rim. He’s just turned 20 , hopefully he can put it all together and become a very good player. All the tools are there.
I still don't get why Pop doesn't even give him a chance or at least a roster spot or garbage time minutes.Quote:

Austin Spurs got jumped on Early didn't have the lead until end of midleish of 3rd. Started to Assert themselves at the end. Dominated 4th....
Luka put up some big offensive numbers. Again D motor not quite there. Missed way to many open uncontested 3s. A guy with his rep should be hitting that 39%-42% from the 3 on this level.....
5 Spurs in double figures and Jeff Leadbetter's points and 3p shooting off the bench was key....
Dedric Lawson is a bit of a conundrum Legit 6'8.5" guy with long arms solid body, Great Rebounder, Good 3pt catch n shoot Spot up Shooter. Small ball powerfoward. Stepped up and played Center here but the Augua Caliente Clippers aren't big in the middle. . Not over athletic, gets to his spots but he has rebounded and scored like this on every level. At this level guarding Power Forwards and Centers, efficient. However I don't see him with the footspeed to guard 3's who play some Small Ball 4's..... However maybe he just has BBIQ to do it.... interesting Prospect.
Be wary of EYE TESTING this dude.
So the Spurs did beat the Clippers after all...

Great to see Luka again with another 20pt game. Also moving quite well.
Hopefully Luka can spend the Summer with Tim and Chip and work on his conditioning, low post moves, and his 3 ball.
Spoon put up good number, but I hate it that he isn't making (or shooting) more 3's than this. He dishes enough dimes, and he playes good enough D, but these days a guy like him has to be a 3P threat too. He's got the stroke, IMO, but I don't see him pushing there.

Well, I managed to watch the game tonight. Hadn't seen the Austin Spurs through this stretch where Metu & Keldon had been called up, so it was a bit refreshing. Arguably more fun that big boy club Spurs games tbh, at least I didn't feel like I was wasting my time watching them play only to fall apart in the 4th.
I was very impressed with Metu. He looks like a completely different player than last season - coordinated, athletic, powerful, and he's made some excellent progress on his jumper, especially long-distance. He went 2/2 from deep not including another made that didn't count because of a previously called foul, and every shot looked confident, smooth and within the offensive flow. He had 23 seemingly effortless points (team high) and I was also pleased with his defense, particularly shot-blocking instincts; they need to be polished but he's been aggresive when contesting shots, and a duo of him and Poeltl could definitely seal the rim instead of the porous defense of Forbes, Lyles and LMA that we're forced to sit through.
Luka also looked solid. With KJ & Metu back in the rotation, he didn't score as many points (18) but was still looking for his shot, going 4/9 from deep. I like that he isn't afraid to let it fly, he also had some deep tries that rimmed out a bit but it's good to see him work there. His shot motion is really quick and fluid - once he perfects it he's got the potential to be a sniper. I was not impressed with his rebounding aggressiveness and he seemed to stand around a bit at times, but as he's learning the system it's to be expected. His screen-setting was also softer than I'd expected, something I also thought of Metu (though his screens are better for now due to Metu's size advantage).
Keldon is, of the future main Spurs players, the one who needs to work the most on his shot. He had a few early misses from 3 after which he got hesitant and opted for drives, many times contested, where he's still finding ways to score that won't really be there in the big boy club. I really liked his energy otherwise, he had a couple good steals and deflections and some powerful finishes, particularly a late-game energy dunk. His energy looks contagious and something the Spurs are absolutely missing on the main roster, the fact that he's barely getting garbage time is infuriating.
Lastly, I saw a pretty good outing from 'Spoon. He filled the stat sheet going 17(5/11 FGM, 3-6 3PM)/8/7 with a steal and solid playmaking. He had some strong drives to the rim (I don't know whether the Suns' defense was particularly bland, as is usual in the GL, but a lot of our guys were easily getting layups at times) and was looking for his own shot too. He's simply better than Forbes in every single way besides a stupid % from 3 which Forbes has been awful shooting; his defensive instincts are better, he looks quicker, has a more varied scoring arsenal and better playmaking, knows how to set up his teammates, isn't a liability on the dribble. A big FU to Pop for not even caring to watch his young guys, because there's a lot of potential that he's missing out and the main club Spurs aren't going anywhere, anyways.
One thing that wasn't good about the Austin Spurs in general was closing out on shooters outside, where a few screens always seemed to leave a Suns shooter open, which they capitalized on (Suns have some pretty good shooters! Kept the game close every time the Spurs took the lead to 10+pts), but overall Austin was in control for most of the game and didn't take the foot off the gas at the end, which was honestly a refreshing sight. Oh! I forgot about Eubanks! He had 20 points but I didn't think he stood out too much, he got postered lol but otherwise had a few gorilla dunks and easy layups here and there. Fun game to have watched.
Too bad Keldon can’t shoot from distance
That’s why we have Chip.
I know right, it was obvious to me that he slightly changed his mechanics after having spent some time with Chip and the team on the first leg of the Rodeo Road Trip. Hope chip sticks around even if Pop doesn't.Quote:

dozens of 4k TV's
and the Spurs game WASNT on and I was the only one wearing any gear. My beloved Spurs Hockey Jersey.
I had to request it be put on.
WTF?
I blame CALIFORNIANS who have invaded us along IH35, Where ever there is an IN and OUT there be CALIFORNIANS...
Tons of LAKERS Gear
This is what happens when your fanbase has been NEGED by Pop for at least 15 years and his shit philosophy.
Having watched Keldon play, i'm starting to wonder if he's more of a 2 rather than a 3. we are full at the Sg position. While we truly do lack a true Sf.
i was wondering if we had the option to trade keldon for a guy like Saddiq bey.
Or a tyler bey.
Such a shame to hear...I've never had the pleasure of living in San Antonio although I am looking into buying a condo there for the weekends...but that's just sad to hear that San Antonio has been inundated with Lakers fans...Quote:
