I am really surprised Ben Moore has not been called up at all this year
I know it's just one game but if Lonnie can keep this up, there is no reason why he would not be a 11th string player or so the next year.
He needs some defensive positioning as well, imo.

^ hard to call anyone up when we don't have an open roster spot, unfortunate situation...
Spurs get the win 117-106

Shots looking good and look like in rhythm. I’m excited for this guy to break the rotation
spurs need to get rid of forbes, mills contract and maybe ddr if he doesnt work out
3 roster spots open and tank mode? why not
Really? Not poindexter or Cunningham?
I would cut those two and bring huestis and moore up. And still have a spot to find another talent
There’s an open roster spot for Josh, and Moore is a two way, so he doesn’t require a spot. They could both be in SA tomorrow if the team wanted them.

4-9 on 3PM is not bad. But 6-15 FGA? Wow.
I wish the spurs would give huestis a 10 day contract or something, see how he performs in the big league
It's the 3point percentages that are important. With all the mid-range players that Spurs have (Aldridge, DeRozan, Gay), Heustis isn't going to be asked to create offense.
Spurs need DEFENSE immediately.
Where can Heustis be slotted in to be useful. Not with the starting five.
What about the bench? Mills, Belinelli, Heustis, Bertans, Eubanks
The alternatives, with Walker IV - Too small Mills, Walker, Belinelli, Bertans, Eubanks
With Cunningham - Too slow in defense Mills, Belinelli, Bertans, Cunningham, Eubanks
With PonDexter - Too small - Mills, PonDexter, Belinlli, Bertans, Eubanks
There's already a body of work with OKC to show how he plays in NBA minutes.
Both Huestis and Moore have NBA experience would like to see both of them get the Green light on shooting 3 and offensive game. I like Moore cause he is younger and he is consistent in that he is almost always going to get close to a double double - rebounding and scoring. Plus last game he has I think 6 assist so overall I like what he brings.
Last 3 games total:
Moore
Rebounds- 32
Assists - 12
Points- 35
Huestis
Rebounds -23
Assists - 5
Points - 39

I would like to see both on the main team replacing Dante and Quincy (who do not add anything to the team)
The Spurs are going to be in playoff mode from now on. Neither one of these two would get any playing time.
Walker should be fine getting his shot off at the NBA level. Anyone who thinks he doesn't have any NBA-caliber skills hasn't watched his floor game. He's a guy who really has to become "solid" so that his more superlative traits can shine.
Wow some of those drives were impressive. Looks like he’s getting his athleticism back and getting more confident making those kind of plays.
Those moves would work in the big league
Wish he could show some of that with the parent club
Attacking the rim much more often now instead of settling for midrange Js. Definite improvement compared to earlier in the season. His shot looks great as always.
They still lost that game. But at least you see that he's got a ton of potential!
Under the Spurs system, WalkerIV can take that talent and refine it to be more controlled and accurate. Very promising!!
If he can shoot anywhere near the accuracy of Forbes, then he'll be golden!
Thank god for Austin. LW IV seems to have his mojo back, and he never would have played enough in SA for that to happen.
Oh, and I don’t give a flying if Austin ever wins. Their purpose is to instill fundamentals in young players like Lonnie. He needs a crossover. He needs a rocker step move. He needs to learn to post up smaller players. He needs to learn both team and individual defense. That’s why farm teams exist: so any mistakes and growing pains are inconsequential.
As long as he can stay healthy he is the real deal. Yeah lots of stuff he can improve upon but he was drafted on potential meaning two or three years of G League for everything to catch up.
