    Clarke playing well in summer league isn't surprising at all. In fact, it'd would have been surprising if he didn't do really well there, considering he was historically great production-wise in a similar level of compe ion. His age also helps, as does the fact that summer league teams aren't going to have the wherewithal to take advantage of a player's lack of size.

    The questions with him will be: 1) Will his lack of size become an issue in the NBA? 2) Will he be able to shoot? 3) Will he still be an super elite athlete when compared to NBA athletes?

    I scoffed at Clarke being a top five prospect in this draft but he certainly has the tools to be productive. From what I've seen, I still don't see the fit in San Antonio that would have justified taking him at 19. We'll see if I'm wrong, tbh. If his production translates cleaner than I think he will, he'll be very, very good right away.
    His 3PT shot looked much better already. He’s not going to be a volume guy but just being a corner 3 guy with his cutting ability would be massive.

    If I was the GM I was taking Bazley then Clarke at 19. At 29 Porter Jr was a no brainer with Claxton as an afterthought. Then ship Bryn out for an early second and cash considerations if need be and get Okpala
    I'm glad you're not the GM.

    If we need a FT line dunk to win a game, Luka will be a candidate.

    Man, Josh Selby. What happened, man? He was ranked #1 in high school then went to Kansas. That's probably the issue right there. Looks like he's in Korea right now.

    I like the fact that he can hit a 3 and slide his feet to keep up with guards. He just needs to improve a lot of areas though. His rebounding needs WORK. His dribbling needs to be tightened up. And his defense is pretty bad too. The good news is that the Spurs can teach defense. Dribbling will be up to him in the offseason so let’s hope he’s hungry. But rebounding... there’s an area that we struggle in teaching. It has cost us more than a few playoff series too. I feel like the Spurs need to hire a top of the line rebounding specialist though.

    If only we had someone on staff that could help our bigs with that...

    Spurs were 9th in defensive rebounding and 25th in offensive rebounding last year. That’s without Murray. Spurs forever have placed a premium on getting back on defense over offensive rebounding.
