    What’s the over/under on games played before landing in Pop’s doghouse in Austin? 20 games? I think Keldon has a better chance at meaningful minutes.

    Doghouse? What makes you think he's ready to play on the Spurs and would benefit more from playing on the end of the bench in SA? Id be amazed if either Samanic or Keldon get more than the occasional call up when there’s injuries or players are rested and when they are called up they’ll be getting end of game blow out minutes. Doesn’t mean they’re won’t be Spurstalk fans ing about how Pop is holding them back because he’s such a meanie.

    Theres a lot to be said for getting lots of reps and playing time in Austin and then being on the bench for spot duty / garbage time for games in Texas and New Orleans.

    Lyles, Metu, and Dedric Lawson. Unless Lyles quits being an under-achiever, it's not hard to imagine Pop testing Samanic in SA.

    Keldon Johnson has an NBA physique and showed that he wants to play gritty defense in SL. And he shot 3's at a very impressive rate in college. Those are exactly the things it would take to at least gat some looks in SA. Especially if he can keep shooting 3's at .381 like he did in college.

    They're rookies, which means they probably spend the year in Austin. But every year around the league, there are a few players who force their way onto NBA rosters. Forbes was undrafted, and still got averaged about 8 minutes per game as a rookie - under Pop. And he shot something like .310 from 3P that year, so it's not like he lit it up from the arc. Personally, I'm not high on Samanic's chances, but I think Keldon Johnson has a real chance to earn some minutes.

    I don't expect the rookies to play much but you never know pop loves euro players so I could see him giving luka some minutes. I like keldon more but I can't see pop playing him over any of are wing players

    I really think it depends on injuries. Expecting LMA and Rudy Gay to be healthy the 90% of the season is wishful thinking. Bertrans leaving and untested Lyles equals some time opening up for the Rookies.

    I hope someone will be able to take and post some of the preseason practice games. We used to be able to go see the game at the end of the preseason and it was always fun.

    I guess a lot of people aren't as concerned about the 3P shooting as I am. Losing Bertans was a big blow for a team that was already lacking in 3P shooting. I think anybody who can shoot from distance is up for a roster spot. If Carrol and Lyles can knock them down, I'm happy with the rookies being in Austin. The Spurs will have a in' G-League team.

    I'm concerned as are the Spurs. Loosing Bertans for nothing was huge. I think it's why Pop went off about the Morris Deal.
    I personally think Lyle's will be gone end of the year. I just don't see how some think he'll be better than Davis. Davis has flaws, but he's been a rotation NBA player.

    I think Luka will get more NBA minutes than Keldon this season due to the logjam at guard and the relative lack of one at PF.

    Pop will make an average player an all star by getting him to focus on what he does best. Pop can also make a good player end up out of the league by trying to turn them into something they are not.

    No, asshole. If I meant White, I wouldn't have said all this:

    But every year around the league, there are a few players who force their way onto NBA rosters. Forbes was undrafted, and still got averaged about 8 minutes per game as a rookie - under Pop. And he shot something like .310 from 3P that year, so it's not like he lit it up from the arc.

    If you want to talk about White, go ahead. Don't blame it on me.

    I’m excited about Luka’s height and athleticism, but the kid is spending time in Austin this year.

    He'll be in Austin for most of the season. I like his skillset though.

    Anyone ting on the FO for their drafts is beyond stupid. They do better than most teams that continually draft in the lottery. I'm sorry they didn't draft that ing coke-head/narc Nassir Little to keep you happy.
