Summer League Grades: Spurs vs. Raptors - July 8, 2019

Does anyone else see a glitch on Walker's legs when he shoots a fadeaway? He does something weird with his legs but I can't really tell what it is.

I posted about it the other day, hoping it was just a anomaly caused by his move. He tends to move his left leg out to the side on his jumper, especially when moving to his left. He doesn't get fully squared up and basically is jumping off his right leg.

That can give a bad trajectory to the shot, but worse to me is the way he comes down on his single right leg with momentum to the left. That is a leg or ankle injury just waiting to happen.

I don't know, I haven't seen anything that special yet. I'm sure any end of the rotation NBA guard could drop 40 in SL. Hoping it carries over in the RS.

he curls his right leg to offset him fading away while in the air and keeping his balance. Nephew does it the exact same way

Nah, it's this:

I wonder if he does this because of the injury he had on his left leg.

I think he may be trying to keep his balance with that left leg out, but damn it sure looks like he leaves the right leg in a dangerous position for an injury.

surely Chip Engelland is watching Lonnie and would be correcting him if he thinks he's doing something dangerous that could injure him in the long run?

improved. Had 2 steals and 2 blocks in the last game. He'll have to improve his positioning, but that will come with playing time

Thanks
