[NickiRasgo]

Nice to see he's already talking/working with Chip as early as now.

2nd shot, that dude next to Luka looks like an adolescent or early teen Kyrie tbh

edit: I just realized it, not that it matters, I got to 1000 posts with this one. 6 years after getting a ST account haha

Terry Larrier, age 23, number 23.

Mitch Johnson?, Austin coach

[Play Boban]

But he’s white so ST told me he can’t jump tbh

[BatManu20]

Locked up.

[JeffDuncan]

Welcome, Luka!

LS has the #19 Jersey - 19th pick - 2019 draft. It all makes sense with the numerology. I'll be watching the SL game for sure.

Chip don't fail us now......

Whoa if this guy has a bad shooting season to start his career, this will be his label on Spurstalk.

[tim_duncan_fan]

Dude already showing the ability to get numbers while looking like he's not doing . Not a comparison, but Tim looked like that sometimes.

I like it.

He busted that three at the end of the game like easy stroke

[Atl Spur]

Moves really well.....only 18. May grow to be 7’1

you can see the potential... its like watching a baby deer

but #19 was a reach for him tbh

Gotta pack onweight while maintaining quickness and working on that jump shot

Sure doesn't seem like a reach imo. Just the fact that he can take bigs off the dribble easily at the 3 point line and finish strong at the rim is huge. He moves well enough where it seems like you can get away playing him right now but also that his upside is really high.

Yeah, just those drives from up high make him seem worth the pick.

I thought that way before seeing him play tonight. He would have been a steal at 29 just on the chance he could put it all together. The teens are usually where you see the red-flag lotto talents picked. He's much more developed than a guy like Walker (who went in the same range last year) or Murray (who surprisingly fell from that range three years ago) were at the same age. He's not some 22-year-old stiff who just managed to get some points off younger, more inexperienced opponents. He's pretty much Anthony Randolph 2.0 but in a more accepting NBA. He might end up looking like a real unicorn if he gets that shot down.

[Atl Spur]

Cool I stand corrected; hopefully they both do. He moves really well and that alone has value this day in age.

he is 3 months younger than Keldon Johson

Born October 11, 1999

but yeah They could possibly put on an inch or inch and a half

Didn't Dejuante put on an inch?

Derrick White was 5'10" coming out of high school. https://denver.cbslocal.com/2017/03/...ado-buffaloes/

Not in the realm of impossibility that Johnson and Samanic can grow an inch or more.
