Quinndary Weatherspoon looks like a helluva second round pick. Luka Samanic and his tools also continue to impress.
Im trying not to be too excited but kj,q and luka all look like solid picks the spurs can develop
White, Murray, Walker, KJ, Spoon, Luka, Forbes, Poeltl .... nice :tuQuote:

Thanks Timvp. I already know about Luka/Keldon upsides. But QDarry is ready to be a 3rd PG I believe. He’s an insurance in case we move Mills/Belli.
I like Ewwbanks tonight. And I really am rooting for him to develop better defense, boxing out, holding his ground at the paint, raise his arms and just use his height. He has the offensive skills, quick feet, variety of moves, but I want him to be tough on defense. He has the body, speed and athleticism, just dedication to defend, stand ground, bang. Splitter was not particularly good at defense at first, but he learned to use his size and body, toughness. I think he has the potential to be better than whoever available out there. I’m surprised to say I’m rooting for him to get that 3rd big spot.
Forbes?? GTFOHQuote:

He's got to begin playing out of his mind to crack that roster and the only way that happens is he makes ridiculous improvement in the G-league.
Weatherspoon is already behind Walker in the pecking order. This season we add two new wings Murray and Walker that weren't present last year. I just don't see a spot this year.
Will people quit this shit? Q has never played against actual NBA talent. He couldn't get a shot in two possessions down the stretch, two turnovers instead. I realize Patty is hated on this board but it's not with turning your brain into mush.Quote:

Luka has all the tools, needs to work on his decison making and ball handling, his BH is pretty good but out of control sometimes.
Keldon was not very good but his defense looks great.
Eubanks looks good on offense but i don't like his D, he is often late.
Looks like a great draft by the Spurs. I will definitely watch some G-League games to check out the rookies
The average ST poster has a lower IQ than anyone on the kindergarden short bus tbqh.

Thank you for the grades. I thought it was worth mentioning Becky using the coach's challenge near the end of the game. It turned out to be a crucial mistake as Spurs had to rush up the court with 5 seconds left and essentially a game winning play turned into a disaster after the lost timeout.
Thanx for the grades...looks like the Spurs have 3 very promising rookies to develop...
all 3 rookies need a full season in the G-League. After that Weatherspoon should definitely compete for minutes on the main team
Just remember this. If you put Mills in the summer league and he was playing for a roster spot he would torch everyone on the floor. Just wanted to keep everything in a real perspective.
that's a really poor statement, mills is nearly 31 and we talk about 19 to 22 years old players. People are not dumb, everybody knows that it still a long way too go for the majority of them.Quote:
