Hornets have been horrible defending the 3, and in general losing guys on cuts. Playing Gleague defense out there.
Is that some kind of April Fool's article? Are they that dumb?
Yeah. Hornets were a no show.
I’m confused why would that be dumb? They’re college seniors right
No, you're right. They have nothing to lose at that point.
It is crazy that there’s 100 seniors applying for early entry for the draft tho I mean I’m sure it’s like that a lot but I bet a very small fraction of them get drafted or ever even see an NBA court
I expected a much closer game than that.
A chance to be seen by scouts & create buzz-- even if not for the NBA, then for China & Europe.
Episode 195 of the Indy Cornrows podcast has about 45 minutes on Scottie Barnes. Fairly interesting perspectives, I found. Not especially positive from a Spurs fit.
From the top rope, that’s funny...he does sort of look like Jimmy Superfly Snuka.

I agree 100% with Elliot. The players should have the fundamentals down before they get drafted especially high draft picks. Some players are really gifted athletes or are very skilled in one area and can somewhat mask their weaknesses. Some front offices even cut the players 2-3 years slack but eventually it becomes obvious that they were a bad pick and the team moves on. Some spurs players have their fundamentals down and they play even in their rookie year, others not so much and they don't. You can practically see smoke coming out pop's ears when a young player makes a fundamentally stupid mistake even in garbage time. I'm sure Tony Parker remembers that all too well but he was an exception and he may be in the Hall of Fame someday.
Lets see if they can draft a player with good fundamentals already and not have to wait two years or more to see them. Pop won't be around forever to yell at them.

The NBA’s annual Summer League is returning to Las Vegas from Aug. 8-17, a source tells the Review-Journal.

wonder if luka will be involved in the olympics. i'd rather he'd be on the summer league roster.
The trend will likely go in the opposite direction, with more players leaving college before even playing much -- like Wiseman or that guy from Duke -- or going the G-League route or otherwise. Not saying college ball is the big solution, but the 'instead of college' G-League team is a joke for development and 'getting ready individually for the draft' is even worse.
Alright, good to know where the Spurs will be picking now (#11 or #12). Gonna be a fun draft season.
Or somewhere from #1 to #4 with a little luck?
You're only hurting yourself if you think that's gonna happen
Hopefully we do get lucky this year.
It's unfortunate that we had a worse record this year but not having a better draft slot and maybe even a worse slot...all for one play in game. Oh well, hopefully someone falls to us and they have a higher ceiling than Devin.
Best time of the year! At 11 or 12, I’m a fan of Jalen Johnson, Wagner, Sengun, Moody, and Kispert. I’d trade Walker in a heartbeat as well but not sure if he gets the Spurs anything.
