Spurs Select F Luka Samanic in the 2019 NBA Draft (19th Overall)

[CGD]

Samanic might have had a decent NBA career if he wasn't an asshole. From what I understand he was basically eastern european MAGA.

It’s my understanding that “Eastern European MAGA” is pretty much Neonazi, right? Guys from those parts dont even try to hide it.

I was so high on the guy, he really had the full package for modern day playing.... Except for a working motor, and a " to give" about his career.

Him and Lonnie are two players who really disappointed me. I'm glad to see Lonnie has made a career for himself, however fringe a player, but he's another player who had all the tools in the world, except for a missing key piece (brains).

Looking back, and having seen the ridiculously 3pt-oriented shift of the NBA in the last 5 years, I'd still take him, tbh. Scared money don't make none.

Same. Definitely one of my worst draft day misses.

got released by a croatian team just after 3 weeks.... still a dumbass.... perhaps he'll learn how to be a pro before he reaches 30.

[jeebus]

Never forget one of his last plays with the Spurs, where he flat out gave up.

Maybe he just always sucked at basketball and PATFO made another bad FRP reach. Playing devils advocate here as we all know PATFO are the basically immortal.

[Mr. Body]

Nah, he had some talent, he was just between the ears.

He had talent and the Spurs hoped he would outgrow being a ing lunkhead. Million dollar talent with a five cent head. It's why he was a reach. At least that pick makes sense. Josh Primo has yet to make a lick of sense.

Clearly not that talented if he can’t stick ANYWHERE

See the part where he's a ing lunkhead. It's called a reach for a reason.

Reminds me of another draft pick, Ryan Richards turned out to be a poor man's Luka Samanic. Of course, Richards was taken later in the second round.

Yep. Richards had talent too and washed out. He was a lunkhead.

Isn’t Samanic basically a poor man’s Collins?

Ouch

Samanic was an attempt to get a stretch 4. He certainly could be but lazy. Another one of those that the PATFO relied heavily on the Combine performance like Primo and Weiskamp, but whose character they failed to investigate further, surprisingly with the Spurs historically known for finding good-character players

God that lineup on the floor was dog- . Forbes, Primo, Wieskamp, KBD, and Samanic. How depressing. And that wasn't even that long ago. Wemby really saved us tbh.

We need intensity

Neonazi?

Now I'm a little worried

Could somebody elaborate... It seems he gonna sign with Baskonia

Luka's reported demise is premature

[Bruno]

Before his failed stint in Croatia, Samanic spend a month in Turkey before leaving the team for personal reasons. What's weird is that he was replaced by Spurs legend Khem Birch.

[John B]

Samanic would’ve been a great fit with his size and ability to knock down 3’s. Too bad he’s lazy.

We need intensity

Intensity, Integrity, and Intelligence

[Texas_Ranger]

and he terminates his contract with another club... that's like 3 in 2 years.... Re gonna re .

[GAustex]

A real disappointment
Lack of compe ive desire
And intelligence
