Remember how awesome White looked last summer? I’m getting the same feelz.
Hard to say after two summer league games but maybe a better version of kris middelton?

He's very advanced for his age on defense as far as fundamentals go. He's got a bull dog type defense about him with how he pressures. Not saying Bowen level cause Bowen was elite at moving his feet, but he positions himself very well and contests really well. He doesn't foul much either which gives some of us hope that he could take some minutes from Beli or Bertans next season. At his absolute basic self he could play some high energy minutes at a pinch with solid D. He doesn't need the basket to score cause of his high motor and attacking the boards. As for shooting, he can catch and shoot and grab and go. His mid range game needs some work though. He takes really long awkward floaters.
I really don't remember another Spurs rookie with as big of a game as KJ had today in summer league. Usually they need the second year to take off. I mean he obviously has to show this a little more consistently and the compe ion argument is valid, but still, it was an impressive outing.
If he is on the active roster at the time, I can see one of those times where Pop gets pissed at the whole starting line up because of lack of energy or whatever and pulls them and puts in all bench players and Keldon shines.
I believe hes 1-13 right now yes
Can PATFO hang on to him if pans out? Bigger question IMO.
Quick feet and good bball iq with nose on the ball. Nah, he got handles so definitely not Green. He’ll put a lot of garbage points with 2nd efforts.
Thomas Robinson seems like a really nice guy. Whether it’s development with the Spurs or a different organization I hope he finds a good home on a team
So you guys think his FLOOR is a career starter on a contender every year?damn, this man must be a monster..even Jonathon Simmons wasn't that and he was a Summer League star, as well..
That was probably what impressed me the most. That he's a rook and he's very young.
White was older, Dejounte looked incredibly raw as a rook, just a really athletic guard with iffy handles but a great first step.
Walker looked like a star in the making but got injured as a rook. He is now a second season player (although still so very young).
Spurs don't generally have draftees this young to begin with until recently so it's tough to have much of a frame of reference.
This Grizzlies team was awful though. They saved all of their draft picks and even their better Gleague prospects didn't play (Watanabe and others). It was basically try outs for their Gleague team I am guessing. Keldon got many easy baskets. Still it's very encouraging.
Floor: NBA dropout in 1 year
Ceiling: Mario Elie
Stop. Jonathon Simmons was like 25 or some ish. This is a 19 yr old kid and we are discussing floor/ceiling. And it's very generous of you to say that about Green in the manner that you are stating. He's been very fortunate. He found a perfect situation and has been making a living in a niche role that he occupied by having a simbient relationship with bigger stars. We are talking skill sets here.So you guys think his FLOOR is a career starter on a contender every year?
You think this guy's FLOOR is the equivalent impact of a career 40% 3-point shooter with all-NBA caliber defense and finishes in the top 5 every year at his position in RPM?Stop.

So wtf is his ceiling?
did you not read the last part...? skill sets aka 3 and D. You are getting lost in the details. Anyone on this thread could've criticized the comparisons to Wade or anyone else if you go strictly into details. We are talking skill sets here. What can the kid do and not do.You think this guy's FLOOR is the equivalent impact of a career 40% 3-point shooter with all-NBA caliber defense and finishes in the top 5 every year at his position in RPM?

Oxymoron
Eh, 2 summer league games in and what you can say is all 3 picks have looked like NBA players, which is no small thing.
Lonnie balling a little down the stretch last night is what’s most exciting thus far.
In other words, in mid November, tbh?
less athletic, but better shooting marion?
I haven't worked out his game yet. He harasses like Smart or Tony Allen. But doesn't have the dribbling like them, but has the standing shot that they don't.
He's a #29 pick. Until he gets more games to prove otherwise, his floor has to be "washed out of the league in 2-3 years" like a bunch of other late first-rounders. Not that I think he's going to be nearly that bad.
I’d say a rich mans Kawhi Leonardlol jk he’s still got a lot to prove but I kinda see a better defensive but less offensive Jayson Tatum
he better then that scrub danny green, yet his in the nba
dont see why this kelder clown cant be find a spot on some team...
KJ could really help this team reach another level, tbh.
you think sammich looks like an NBA player right now?
