He may be over-thinking and lost. It's a little like Lonnie (though Luka's much worse) where it sucks away his aggressiveness. Still, I saw nothing encouraging today but small sample for me.

Drew youre ing funny man...
The Ice Man....Bernard King....Blasphemy!
Funny how Keldon doesn't really know who the REAL Iceman is or even Bonzi Wells lol. I wonder if he even knows Sean was a player! Good kid, though!
One particular Luka Samanic weakness you saw in garbage time was the weak turnover trying to handle the ball.
For a guy who isn't an initiator or playmaker, who never runs an offense or handles in the pick-and-roll he turns the ball over like no one in Spurs history. He had the worst AST%-to-TOV% ratio of any Spurs pick in the g/d-league ever while playing more than 1 game.
3.9 turnovers per 36 for a guy who gets the ball and tries to go to the rim.
He can't shoot and it's a bad idea for him to try to do anything with the ball in his hands because he's prone to coughing it up.
yeah... and part of what was sold is how good an athlete he was. i dont care what his gym measurables are, the guy just looks like dead weight on the floor
His measurables weren't off-the-charts, though: https://www.nbadraft.net/players/luka-samanic/
A good but not great athlete with a questionable motor that looks limited against athletic players is what many scouts and analysts said about him. Still can't write him off yet though but he definitely has his work cut out for him.
I actually like Bellis game this bubble.
Much closer to his 14/15 self than what we have seen this year
Won't take 4 years. He can't even get on the court right now? Damn.
same here I’m loving his game
spurs could played better, but i loved the energy from the guys today!
keldon gonna be a beast for sure... when you watch it, the game just comes easy to him. great natural instincts !
white and keldon gonna save the spurs from being a ho hum, mediocre team.
We should be going for prospects with natural instincts than athletic beasts from now on
pop hasn't really gone for a lot of athletic beasts though.
this is the most excited i've been for the spurs since kawhi was still playing for the spurs.
i'm starting to come back from exile...
With two number one picks they took a chance I am cool with that I’ll wait two more years before I pass judgment.
What frustrates me about the Luka pick is that the Spurs had never even spoken with him. How do you pick a guy with character issues without at least doing some homework?
Still, I don't think I'd care much at all if they had selected Johnson at 19 instead. Even passing on Clarke for Keldon would be okay for me.
I had not heard that they never spoke to him. He was at the combine and presumably did interviews, they were there as I recall in addition to seeing him in person overseas.
I mean more RC and Pop. If I recall correctly, they asked RC and he said they hadn't. Maybe he meant only since they had selected him, but I remember the context being more like they hadn't talked to him since he ghosted his old team at least.
I think if someone asked 'Have you spoke to him?' they'd be talking about since he was selected.
Some mocks had Keldon at 14: https://www.nbadraft.net/players/keldon-johnson/
