its true that anybody can bust. but if you draft him expecting multiple years of development before even cracking the rotation, thats a player best served for the late 1st or second round...
A lot of players picked at 19 don’t even make it in the nba. People have ridiculous expectations of the draft tbh.

His handles indicate he has talent
He needs to dead eye when open from three and work on his getting to the basket and finishing
And finally owning his space under the boards
so it just depends if you call 19 late draft or not. But a big man who can move is more rare enough to make this worth it. Of all the first round draftees 3 years to competence is probably the norm, excpet some teams suck and press guys into service. Also, you know big men peak at like 26-28 so luka can can come along a bit slow. Obv the spurs and the agent have some idea of his value. The spurs aren't going to pick another leonard.
Could be the new Livio Jean Charles
I guess it's all over.
In my opinion, that was the beginning of the end. Leanord wanted to dominate summer league but domineering Pop wouldn't allow it. Yada yada yada now Leanord's a Clipper.
I think that if Davis felt the same way about Zion's potential the way the media and asslickers who "know basketball" felt, he might have stayed, tbh. He's a fat whose best comparison is Tractor Traylor or Oliver Miller, he'll out-fat them and split more jerseys then they did.
LOL if you think Zion will not be an all-star.
Lmao LJC never showed even half of Luka has shown thus far.
LOL because you think he will be. Probably said the same about Okafor, Bennett and the other massive busts from the past 5 years alone.
so you haven’t seen him switch on every player he comes across? Just the fact that he’s comfortable taking the ball to the hole at 6’11 in a pinch using a very quick first step for a big man?
Hes made great reads on defense so far. I think he has a ton of potential. Give him a year in Austin/the weight room/ working with chip.
Do you live under a rock?
lol, can’t be serious
We'll probably see bursts after the first year, but it might take longer for him to develop into someone who has everything he needs to be a rotation player. But even if it's a full three years before he can contribute, it still all hinges on what his ceiling is. If he's a meh player, 19 was definitely too soon. If he has All Star potential, who cares if it took a while?
Just pretend we drafted Keldon at 19 and Luka at 29. Go in ur bathroom, turn the lights off and stare into the mirror while u repeat this 3 times. Ull come out feeling great about the potential of our 29th pick Luka.
one of the worst takes ever ....
RJ Barret shot like 7 of 33 so far, bust as well? Its *summer* league ....
Who knows at this point? Nothing we’ve seen would or should change anything about him yet. He absolutely has bust potential which everyone said to begin with but it’s way too early to tell and his bright spots that you hope to see have shown up just as much as his flaws.
If OP is always this premature, his girlfriend's life is .
Spurs fans worrying about lower half of 1st round picks 'busting'. Spoiled MFers.
Can we wait till spurs staff at least train him? Omg calm down
Great points. Also, for a guy that's almost 7 feet tall, he doesn't really take advantage of his size.
I still think he was picked way too high.
He should be fine. I think at worst he’s a good backup 4. I personally wanted little, but will trust Patfos judgement. You. Can see the tools are there. It’s just gonna be how well he puts it all together
Lonnie Walker IV was picked higher #18. We still don't know if he's serviceable in a real NBA game. So there's no way you can credibly make that statement at this time.
