Except I didn’t imply that he would continue his play. As you gain experience, maybe learn to read.
Son as you gain experience you will discern the difference between pre season and regular season.

There, there Ralphie.
Literally says “IF” Forbes continues his play.
his price tag is increasing tbh … without his scoring punch these Spurs are not the same
no matter how you worded it, insinuating Forbes is better than Walker was asinine.
No, Forbes is not better than Lonnie at face value. This is really not worth explaining to people who think black and white.
he's not better than Walker at face value, retail value, or resale value.
" he still hasn't gotten completely over himself"
Probably would look better without DJ taking his shots. Needs a heliocentric offense catered to him. Not enough plays run for him, pop needs to call timeout every possession and design plays for him. Watched the HOU game highlights 2 years ago, this guy is a legit scorer.
More and more, I'm glad we did not extend him.
i haven't given up entirely on lonnie but i'm getting very close.
Very reminiscent of jonathon simmons but with less splash plays. Definitely a worthwhile prospect. Just hasn’t materialized. He should at least have been as good as will Barton and striving to become oladipo.
I sense this going the same as Kyle Anderson, someone offer a little more money than the Spurs will pay. I don’t think Lonnie is a starter in this league. He would do better going overseas and dunking on midgets.
Guy showing he doesn’t know how to read again
How can Walker look so good some trips down the floor?
That behind the back layup was All Star worthy.
walker is an enigma, no doubt about it. there are times where he just makes your jaw drop and then too many times where you're cursing him out. unfortunately, there have been more of the latter moments than the former and the clock is ticking.
Lonnie Walker has reached his ceiling. What you see from him is what youre going to get. A player that might raise a team up with some timely baskets and then fade away. I still see Walker not finishing the season here in SA.
And yet, it’s still only two points. I’d rather he shoot more consistently and confidently from beyond the arc.
On that play a pass wasn’t possible so Lonnie did the kind of thing he can do. (White was running to the corner but a defender was in that passing lane.)
Lonnie has bought into Pop’s “system” too much. Don’t be selfish. Always think about passing the ball. Be a good team player. All that crap. And yes, it is crap.
Lonnie is never sure he’s allowed to shoot unless there’s nobody to pass to, like on that layup, or a play is run for him, which is rare. When he disappears in games it’s because he’s trying to be a good teammate, not selfish, the way Pop insisted and forced on him by not playing him. Sad.
I agree.
Kyle had shown us way may more than Lonnie at their respective points in the career. Kyle was a good defender and had some awareness too. Lonnie is has neither. But Lonnie is way more athletic and some team will make an offer based on potential that I don't expect the Spurs to match.
He's as good as gone, I think.
Exactly. It's funny seeing Pop's system impregnate all the young players' playstyles and the way it makes the Spurs play. You see every other team in the league passing the ball with purpose, drawing plays, looking for 3pt shots actively and letting it fly. Yet in SanAn, it's all about drive & kick out, don't shoot it, instead drive & kick... Ad nauseum. Nobody takes shots because they don't think it's up to them, or that it's not the best possible shot, so they pass, pass, pass, until the clock runs down and they throw a hail mary. Or worse, they get an open look finally, and brick it (ok, this might not be on Pop, but still).
It's not just Lonnie, either. Keldon has been very disappointing to me in the few games I've watched this season - consistently passing up open and even lightly contested 3's in order to stupid-drive into a set defense, he doesn't trust his jumper at all. Neither does White for some reason, his confidence level is awful. Dejounte is the only "hungry" one, but it's easy when he's been handed the keys and can chuck his way into and out of games without repercussions.
Weird team right now; good pieces that aren't working as well as they could. I really hope they win 26+ games this season... I don't mind the sucking as long as it's purposeful.
Yeah it's DJ's fault Walker and White can recreate a couple of great games 2 years later.
