Grades: Spurs at Timberwolves - Jan. 9, 2021

Don't talk about the Golden God like that tbh. The Spurs and Timmy were getting straight up bodied by teams like the Grizzlies before Tiago saved the team and the old man from playing garbage like Bonner/Blair heavy minutes

Yup, outside of his rookie season, Tiago hasn't been anywhere near as horrific a free throw shooter as Jakob. I don't understand how anyone can shoot as bad as he does.

How tall is Lonnie Walker anyway? He now seems undersized!

How legit is this photo? The official Spurs website on NBA listed both as 6ft5.

2015, Aldridge, Leonard
2012, Duncan, Parker
2010, Duncan, Ginobili
2008, Duncan, Parker
2006, Duncan, Parker
2005, Duncan, Parker

and there’s also Duncan/Robinson, Robinson/Elliot, Robertson/Gilmore, Gervin/Gilmore, Kenon/Gervin but you get the point.

Bruh no one's photoshop skills are that good.

This is why I've always questioned Lonnie's listed height.

Wow. Keldon looks so massive on this, or Lonnie just not as tall as I thought he was. Lonnie appeared also dwarfed on his pictures with Jrue

Keldon's a lot bigger than Lonnie, tbf - also, in this pic in particular, Lonnie is bending his standing knee, whilst Keldon's standing one is fully extended, increasing the height disparity. But the conclusion has been obvious for some time - Lonnie is a true SG or maybe 2.5, whilst Keldon is absolutely a SF with 3.5 build. Both great in their own way, and having that size versatility is huge for the Spurs right now.

Says Lonnie is 6'4.5" without shoes. I'm curious to see if his hair played any part. I will say Lonnie does seem like an amphibian. I feel like he can slump and stretch without effort easily making an inch or two difference in the way he moves.

Also, in that photo Lonnie is a bit further away. Can make a bit of a difference as well.

Y'all also gotta take into account that Keldon (reportedly) grew like, over an inch since being drafted. It could very well be Keldon's listed height that needs updating, and not Lonnie's (though I doubt they'll change either one).

I want our offense to develop enough where we can survive with one or two of our core pieces being out (DeMar or LMA). I don't want to go into every game and say, "well, our record with LMA is good and without him it's bad". I hope one of our young guns can get good enough to carry the team when one is out so they can get rest. I want to feel comfortable about a game when one guy is out. That's the level we need to get to.

Yeah they might have measured him with his hairdo and now are saying 'whoops he's 5'8"!'
