Bryn is only avg 12 mins a game...last game he only played 7 mins. Primo played 31 mins and was the focal point of the offense in Austin...yea give me the minutes and touches all day.
166 minutes thus far for Pet Bryn Bryn.Primo getting substantial minutes in the g league and being the go to scorer>>>>>>playing spot minutes in a blowout in the big league.
Spurstalk posters whined about Pop not giving the young guys any minutes and he finally gives the young guys minutes and now you want a new young guy to eat into their minutes?
FOH that giving Primo some or ALL of those minutes is a bad idea.

"Only" a quarter of a f-ing game? That is plenty of time to effect a games outcome.
I'll do a thread on what NBA teams are doing with 1st rounders and teenagers.
Did you see Boston Jr. last night vs the Spurs? Un huh. He's 19 and is a 2nd round pick.
You can't develop talent with only 12 mins a game fam. Yes I saw Boston Jr and I also saw that the Clippers had about 5 players in street clothes which is why he was forced into playing so much lol.
Before last nights 20 minutes, Boston jr played 0,1,3 and 9 minutes in previous games. He will be sent to the g league very soon and we can watch him and Primo go at it for 30+ mins a game

Ok well explain how the 11-2 Warriors are playing both 19 year old 1st rounders.
Or save it for the thread.
Moody is only avg 6 mins a game and Kuminga spent an entire year in the G league. When the Spurs drafted Primo everyone knew he was going to spend a lot of time in the G league due to his position and being the youngest player in the draft.
Duly noted with Kuminga.
I'm fine with Primo playing both places.
However having him up with the Spurs to sit and watch Pet Bryn is beyond b.s. incompetent coaching.
I think a middle approach would be best. Occasional minutes in SA to assess areas for improvement, then back to Austin to work on those deficiencies. But a lot of these arguments are in bad faith, anyway. People hate Pop, which I get, but no reason to obsess over Primo if complaining about Pop is the real goal.
This is it, tbh.Primo getting substantial minutes in the g league and being the go to scorer>>>>>>playing spot minutes in a blowout in the big league.

What is a "jag" exactly? Never heard that word before. Regardless, it doesn't matter what Lonnie has or doesn't have, he didn't deserve the treatment he got, even more so when we've watched players who "got" even less (Forbes, Beli, etc) all get preferential treatment and roles than Lonnie got. It s with a players' development, and watching him fail now and extrapolating that into "he sucks now so he would've always sucked, Pop or not" is silly.
I don't have the inside information that some here might have, and my "opinion" is based on watching the games, but Lonniw Walker has had every opportunity to take the bull by the horns. Devin Vassel, Keldon Johnson are two players that made the most when they got on the court. Lonnie just hasn't seized the chances he's been given. In some forums he's known as Lonnie "Houdini" Walker because he disappears after a while. Whether Pop had a lot to do with Walker subpar performances by having a short leash, it does say a lot about Walker's weak mentality. One would think he would go out the next time and try harder.

One of those 19 YOs spent the entire last season in the gleague…
^ Thanks Scoop
Just Another Guy
There's no player that was ever coached like Lonnie that has worked out well under Pop
Lol... Pop is coaching Primo to be a role player... Even a rookie Giannis told his team he didn't wanna go to the g-league because he wouldn't be able to get the same development as playing in the NBA... Even a rookie Giannis knew that... A guy grafted even lower than Primo... If Pop drafted Giannis, he would have been a mediocre role player that got spot bench minutes because he would have spend his first three seasons ing around in the g league
Anyone stating Primo should be in the g league is also necessarily stating that Bryn Forbes deserves the minutes he’s getting. That’s all you need to know about what opinion is correct.
Tony Parker has entered the chat…Lonnie would have gone to pieces if he were treated like Parker. Danny Green was screamed and cussed at regularly.
Lonnie actually got off easily.
Danny Green got waived, re-signed, sent to G or D league
They play tonight 730 CT on ESPN +
Hmmm.... will anyone be watching the Big Boi Spurs playing Minny tonight? All eyes on El Primo Puro, instead!
I'm all against Primo in the G league but maybe it's s a good thing he is far away from Pop to mess this kids head up.
both of these.
Giannis had it right. Playing against real players, even as a reserve, is more common for making superstars if you want development. Paul George started as a reserve who chafed against Jim O'Brien's bad lineups and being designated in a defensive role yet somehow managed to become Paul George.
Primo looks a 100X better defensively than last game. I haven't checked the box score but the first quarter is still going on and he has 2 blocks and 2 steals so far
Hes killing it on defense
