We know this had to be set up by the Spurs promotions dept. but even so, it's a good way for these young guys to begin to learn the Spurs way as part of the community and to give something back.

the future of the young guns begin.........
I just found it interesting it's the youngin crew!
Iirc the players are mandated to perform the PR public service NBA CARES fluff for 10 events a season, and they'll be fined for not doing them all. It can really throw a wrench into their # of free days during homestands. Getting through some of them now is a smart thing.
Good bonding time for the D-league toros team.

Future role players.
Livio being a real nice dude. How can one not like these young dudes:
Glad to know that no turnovers were committed.Jonathon Simmons passed to Livio Jean-Charles, who passed to Davis Bertans, who passed to Dejounte Murray.
First a can of pork and beans. Then a fruit cup. Then condensed milk.
Love sense of humor!
I am so psyched for the new season...

Can he rebound like Ibaka? lol
I doubt it.
Can Ibaka rebound like Ibaka ....
Surprised LJC didn't drop everything.
Some interesting things I took from that article:
Green is already at the gym. I expected it with Kawhi, obviously, since that dude is a workout freak. And Manu being there makes some sense given that he's the most reasonable choice to try to anchor the team now that Tim is gone. But Green being there is a good sign, especially if he and Chip are going over his shot. Sure, it would be nice for him to learn how to dribble or drive better. But fixing that shot is the biggest priority. Shame Pau isn't there, as Kawhi and Danny developing chemistry with him would be cool. But the guys that are there still make for an interest pool for pickup games.
LJC is likely going to be the second-youngest player on the roster. That's actually sort of amazing given how long ago he was drafted. It's a relief to see him in SA already, because if he wants to improve the way he needs to get his third-year option picked up, he's going to have to live in the gym for the next year. Along those same lines, Bertans will be fourth- or fifth-youngest player on the roster despite being drafted more than five years ago. Damn, the Spurs might not be old anymore, but they are at least middle-aged.
Anyone else notice that Simmons is wearing a black Spurs shirt while the others are wearing silver shirts? Probably not significant, but I thought it was funny. It's like a QB wearing a red jersey during practice.
Too bad the senior players did not participate.
Manu would've sent a can smack into the head of a bum doing nothing in the background, while Parker would handle the packing all by himself.
If Bobo was still around, we'd see lots of empty cans lying around the floor.
Lol I saw J.Simms shirt and I thought, ok dude just missed the email or text that said which shirt color uniform they were supposed to be wearing.
It was noteworthy the old veteran in the gym was Manu. Everyone else who was in the Olympics (even Garino) was still on holiday but Manu was already there to get used to the new teammates I bet. That's special for me. As much as I get on Manu at times he's really dedicated to the team. There was some melancholy in the interviews about the fact that Tim was always in the gym the first day it opened and was in charge of running many of their pickup games. Without Manu there it was going to be just Kawhi and Danny..... Glad to find out Danny is looking to get his own game shape going early and getting used to new teammates himself. I'd expect a lot of mix and match by Pop early in the season and its best to start with a good step forwArd.
Yes as Chinook pointed out, great seeing Danny there from the start. I think he knows how much he is needed and is shooting for seeing his shot improve- pun intended.Lol I saw J.Simms shirt and I thought, ok dude just missed the email or text that said which shirt color uniform they were supposed to be wearing.

Ibaka and his 6 rebounds a game is a pretty high bar.
Greens shot sure seemed fixed in the playoffs.
