Game Thread: Spurs vs. Magic - Friday, July 5 @ 10 PM CT - Summer League Game #4

[Duncan87]

So Spurs undefeated

Lonnie played great tonight Manu esque performance lol disappointing games from Keldon and Luka, I still really like Keldons game but Luka is kinda worrying me

[TheGreatYacht]

Then he’ll unleash him during a “rest game” where he’s starting next to Eubanks, Luka, Carroll, and Mills... get blown out... and he’ll place Lonnie back in the doghouse for the rest of the season.



”Told you so.”

Or he’ll do the Pop special of playing him the final 10 minutes of Game 4 when we’re getting blown out and down 0-3. Lonnie will score 18 points in that span and we’ll then discuss why Poop never played the kid. Timvp will then give Pop a C+ in the game grades

[TheDoctor]

You joke...but this is going to happen.

Yup, he has to fall right into the chain of command.

Could've had Keldon and Little.

Lonnie is a rotation player

As ty performance Luka had, I keep getting intrigued by him. He made some great reads on defense and showed great awareness on some plays. He can switch 1-5 already, his handles can only get better from now. He missed a couple dunks but I am convinced he’ll be much better from here on forward. He’s confident and he’s been showing all his skills. Just needs to put everything together, I’m sure he’ll have at least one big game.

Thanks god that god awful performance was stopped

[Degoat]

Anybody think Lonnie gets shut down the rest of the summer league? Probably at least 1 more game right

I'm the same way. He hasn't looked great, but a huge part is bulk and conditioning. Needs to keep his head up and keep plugging away. He's for the future, not now.

Austin will do him wonders.

I agree. That said, the best part of Luka, imho, is his footwork on defense and offense...on defense looks like he can stay with his man and switch 1-5 quite effortlesselly...so he just lacks the knowledge of our system and a little more, like you said, bulk and conditioning...but not that much bulking because, imho, his actual best part of his game (and actually one very difficult to find out on nba big men...if you're not a KD type) is his first step and speed on offense...in this part he's already above nba average...if he fix his shot he could become a complete weapon...the skills and tools are there..

Was at the game. The earthquake was very mild and lasted about 5 seconds. I was disappointed the night was cut short. Lonnie looked VERY good tonight. Samanic had a few nice moves too.

I agree 100 % with this statement
