Lonnie Walker 2.0 he wont have the balls to drive to the basket in the NBA.
Exciting offensive player and I wouldn’t mind Spurs pick him. But if Davis is there, I’d take him. Davis is like a swiss army knife on an energizer bunny. Very much like Manu, just give him the ball. He’ll figure a way to win it for you.
Lonnie Walker 2.0 he wont have the balls to drive to the basket in the NBA.
you do know lonnie walker 1 is an all star without the heart or brains. SO it's not a big insult to use that comparison. hopefully the spurs know more about personality after luka and lonnie flamed out.
Respectfully, I don't want to put Luka and Lonnie in the same category. Lonnie has shown enough that he will continue to play in the NBA. Luka will not, and was thought so little of that he was cut from the team despite being owed guaranteed money.
What’s keeping Lonnie is his great character.
I hate to compare him with Lonnie because Mathurin is not gun shy and will never defer like Lonnie. But his defense is suspect
The NBA game is a a game of the 3 ball we don’t have good shooter or even willing shooters he is both - Yes, Keldon got better which gives the team hope but having another starter with a good 3 ball really opens up the paint.
Had no idea what a munch was until today
I’m hoping someone takes him before 9 so the spurs arent tempted. I’m not convinced and would rather have Davis.
The more I watch the remaining four playoff teams, the more I like Mathurin as a Spur. We need clutch shooters who aren't afraid to drive and break down a defense. We have no dawgs on this team who can put a team on their back in a 7-game series.
Outside of the top 4, I think this guy has the best chance to be that kind of pro. Unfortunately, I think Indiana, Portland or New Orleans snag him before we do.
He’ll come in and be the alpha we need someone to take over the team , period. team full of pussys
Extremely suspect. He creates hardly any defensive events.
Not a reason to pass on him.
You can't just load the team with primarily defensive players , then you end up with a team like what the spurs currently are, no to go offensive star power.
Interesting...
Good find. I've posted before, Sochan's 3pt shooting was hundreds of fractions better than Kawhi's was when Leonard was a year older. And Kawhi really wasn't a terrible shooter, he just wasn't great. The myth is that the Spurs turned him from non-shooting into someone who was great. Truth is somewhere in between.
Mathurin -- his highlights are spectacular, but he has issues with his game. Still... spectacular.
Sochan -- he's not a ty offensive player, but he's a work in progress. His ft% is really poor but I believe can greatly improve: his form looks good and he doesn't have bad hands.
I'm confident some goofy NBA GM in the top 8 will make a reach before the spurs do. At that point Mathurin possibly falls. Hopefully to the spurs.
Sochan will never be the offensive center piece of a team , Mathurin can.
Yeah I remember watching one of those Sports Science ESPN vids. talking about how he had tweaked his shot post college, pre-draft.
Mathurin would be an interesting choice considering what we've been told about Primo.
At some point the Spurs have to address the '4' spot and I hope they take multiple stabs at it this draft...
No , man. You're ing brilliant.
Be cool. No need for that.
But the game is on both side off the court, i prefer a defensive center piece who can score( and has a good offensive upside) than the contrary.
One scout's take on Ben Mathurin's game, courtesy of Raf. Barlowe's NBA Big Board....
A two-for-one special... If that's accurate and we draft him, he figures to be the most loved and hated Spur on the rosterHe’s best on a Western Conference team that gets up and down the floor. He may struggle in the halfcourt game,
but if you allow him to get up and down and shoot, he’ll kill you. I think he’s a combination of Spurs wings Devin Vassell and Lonnie Walker.
Huh, I thought he was taller for some reason. Similar measurements to Davis then.
He plays above the rim, he can jump.
Davis not so much.
True but Davis is better on D , by far for the moment. Mathurin has the tools to be better on D.
