Bobo was a great defender if willing.
Primo wouldn’t have been there. That’s only been proven a trillion times, but yeah stand by he would’ve been there.
Herb Jones I was 100% in on after the tournament. In the right system he’s Boris diaw with all team defense.

Nah, maybe Primo was obvious to them and not most of spurstalk untrained eyes. Let’s be fair and give the kid at least a few years to develop. I wonder how good herb jones was at 18/19 let alone being thrown in the NBA.Make a call like that, and you deserve to come back and say I told you so.
I'm pretty sure I don't remember anybody saying that the Spurs should take that Primo kid. Maybe Jones was just too obvious for PATFO.
Man, did you ever play ball, or any sport cos you have visibly no idea what you're talking about. Of couse it does improve your ball handling and coordination... Just try. There's a reason why that's a basic exercise for all ballers from the younger teams to the pros, not just for "globetrotter "... It makes you feel only one hand easier and more natural while overall making you feel more in control.
Any athlet in any sport practice moves he won't execute during games or races... Soocer players often make exercises using only their hands. it's about bringring your body and intuiton in different territories to helps apprehending natural moves you'll use in compe ion better, just like vivting other countries can help you beter understand and apprehend your homeland, even though you won't adopt tose other countries way of life, and basically make you a better man.

I stand by the strategy. Trade #12 for two picks. That's what I was referring to. If he wouldn't have been there then pick another.
and atleast 11 of those top 20 are undisputedly better with a similar or higher upside.
No . But you don't go straight to it. You start off with stuff you actually do in games. Like in dribbling, if you can't run full speed and dribble, do you practice by dribbling two basketballs at once? No you don't. If you can't run and dribble with your offhand do you practice with two basketballs? If you can't do a cross over left, do you practice with two basketballs? If you can't do a spin move do you practice with two basketballs? If you can't run a pic n roll left handed, do you practice with two basketballs?
No you don't. Once you master the basics, then you start doing the actual two basketball dribbling. That's my point. It's fine for Kyrie Irving to improve his dribbling bc he has mastered the basics. Nobody on our team has mastered the basics of dribbling from what I can see with DJ being the closest.
I missed Herb Jones in the draft, but was a big fan of Trey Murphy lll. With your strategy, the Spurs get them both, as the Pelicans did. It's interesting because they clearly must have scouted Alabama games... I wonder how high they were on Primo?
Primo has a lot of development to do. If after years of development poured in he’s only a 3/D that’s a failure because 2 better than him were ready to be picked out of the gate in Murphy3 and Herb Jones even if you only got one, it’s still better than a few years of development for Primo to turn out no better.
I think Spurs saw potential beyond just 3/D to justify that selection. They gambled on the upside his open growth plates and youth still offered at the time. He has a lot of work to do in the off-season to be solid on offense to begin with, forget the passing and ball handling they saw. He needs to get his shooting back to begin with.
Lol. Okay.
I can’t wait for that Crowe to come out the oven!!! #bone-appe e
Right now u all hat no herd
What proof are you referring to?
At the time of the draft I wondered why the Spurs didn't trade down and try to still get Primo while getting another asset in the process. Folks have since said that they took him at 12 because other teams wanted him, too, and he'd of been off the board soon. Not sure whether or not I buy that, but nonetheless it's apparent he was coveted by the FO.
I think the jury is still out on Primo and will be through next season at least. We probably won't really start to see what he's capable of until year 3 or 4. Hopefully in year three folks around the league are saying the Spurs pulled another rabbit out of the hat when they drafted Primo.
He better spend an inordinate amount of time on his handles then because he's obviously not going to have the quick speed or change of direction to beat people to the hole with any consistency, which translates to him at least being more of an outside threat, predominantly. It's unlikely, but possible he could develop some crazy dribbling skills, that enable him to work his way past the initial defender for more consistent floaters and such, but that's his ceiling, imo
Have you been to Santa Monica? I think we met on the Pier. #Zoltar
I just try to exercise common sense…. You boys reside in lala land! Primo will be fine✊��
He is plenty athletic enough. He’ll develop his staple moves…..
I wanted Dayron Sharpe. He's a stretch 5 with post presence. I stated this before the draft. He's not playing in Brooklyn now cuz he's on the bench, but he's shown what he can do with minutes.
