Like Jack Jack, he's also basically a baby at this point.samanic is like jack jack from the incredibles tbh. he can seemingly do so many good things, but cant do them at will
This is a positive game for all our rooks.

might be 19, but rebounding is a lot based on instincts. he does not seem to have good awareness around the basket. cant box out either.
on the other hand, his handling and stroke are really good
Leo that is what they say but not sure if he will ever reach it. If you are gonna do a potential high ceiling pick, I wish the Spurs would go for a prospect with elite athleticism, instead of a skill and size, seemingly soft euro.
We got lucky with Dairy Queen. This kid is a steal. Bullish built. Looks like Billups tbh
All 3 picks showed their potential today and that’s what you want from Summer League. It will be a while for Samanic to get into ideal conditioning but if he does a year or two from now it will be worth it. I don’t think we have to worry about the other two.
Why isnt PJ washington playing??
Man I like Weatherspoon a lot. Definitely passes the eye test as an NBA player.
Good coaching into a system for all these youngsters. No one clearly out performing the other but all showing some skills. Nice Summer League win. I would like to have Bridges on the Spurs.
Whenever Lonnie doesnt play = team win + everyone plays better
the fact that they didn't get outplayed by Bridges and their production was similar to his seems very promising. If they keep that up all 3 of them could dominate summer league next year which would then mean they are about to get a shot in the rotation. With Samanic and Johnson being 20 by then that's good progress
really liking Johnson and Weatherspoon, Ben Moore is also decent.
as for Samanic
+ handling
+ court vision
+ stroke / shooting
+ decent one on one defender
+ pretty quick feet and hands
-/+ sets ok screens
-/+ ok post-game
- dont know how to use his body/height
- cant rebound and box out
- zero help defender (usually looks on with his mouth open)
- suspect awareness near the defensive side of basket (related to blocking and rebounding)
So far the draft picks look really good! I'm excited to see their progression and will most definitely watch more G-League games this upcoming season
He was the most overall athletic guy 6'10" and above in this draft. Lmao. Dude can jump, run, and is also quick. Lmao
+Speed when handling the ball and drives to the basket. Dude blazes through
Really love Samanic at the top of the key, he can either drive to the basket or easily deliver a great pass to a cutting guard. He really knows his place around the court. His shot also looks like it’ll get much more accurate.
Keldon Johnson is just a Bull. His energy is contagious. Especially on defense. He really gets after it on the boards. He does the little things to help the team win.
Quinndary is just poised. His experience definitely stands out on the court. He can do a little bit of everything, pass, drive, defend, shoot. He can switch from 1-3 with ease. He has a similar game to Derrick White imo. His ball handling could still use a little bit more refining though.
Overall, I’m extremely pleased so far with this draft class. After a year in Austin, I’m sure they’ll be good enough to contribute next year if not earlier.
tbh we're also comparing it to gasol's glacial drives
I think he’s the more athletic David Lee who can do a lot. Just needs time conditioning, get to proper body built. He will have a long career in the NBA with his multiple skills
I want to see Luka with 15 lbs more muscle then we’ll see what he’s got. Right now strength-wise he’s a boy among men.
Good QDairy comparison with White. He’s so poised and built. If we ever move Mills for an insurance Big, QDairy fills the role imo
Not a bad comparison, however unexciting it may be.... Wasnt David Lee an exceptional rebounder though ? I dont think Luka's peak as someone who will be decent at rebounding...
Good showing by our Rooks today.
Keldon Johnson with 19 pts/ 4 rbs / 1 ast /1 blk on 60% FG - Love this kid already. Great energy and hustle. Brings a compe ive edge to the team. Doesn’t back down from anyone.
Luka Samanic with 14 pts/ 4 rbs/ 1 stl - Has a lot of tools but is raw right now. Looked winded for much of the game. Needs to get in better shape, get in a weight room, and continue to work on his game. He’s got talent though.. and still only 19.
Quindarry Weatherspoon with 19 pts/ 7 rbs/ 2 asts/ 2 stls - QW is a steal, plain and simple. NBA body already and just makes the right play almost all the time. He’s also a good rebounder for a PG. Love this pick at 49. Looking forward to watching play some more.
Not gonna lie. I've never seen a great game from the team and Lonnie at the same time. This is why I hesitate ti say he will be in our rotation to start the season. Quindary looks like he can take Mills and Belli's spot already.
Samanic looked like he qill be the best player on that floor one day.
Lol...
