8 pts 3 rebounds in 30 minutes yesterday. Still don't see him as a legit nba player.
I still say if Luka would have been given the Lonnie Walker treatment he would be be a bright part of the Spurs future.

No, it was the Aussie with the beard, currently on the Spurs staff.
Lonnie always tried, and gave effort.
Lol. We will have to agree to disagree.

I don’t know how to paste an instagram picture. But funny how Luka posted him dunking on Lebron . He’s getting a lot of hate from Lebron fans of course. But it shows how immature he thinks. He wants to show him on a Jazz jersey, but why a dunk on Lebron?

Luka is the Rocky Balboa of the NBA. He's going to start showing skills at 29 or 30.
Or rather,.the right at ude at that age.
If he shows anything it’s likely because the Spurs cut him and he had to learn to prove himself.
Clueless isn’t the same as lazy. Being in the wrong place isn’t lack of effort. Lonnie was terrible, and I was one of the first to write him off, but I recognize his issue, and it wasn’t lack of effort. He was a basketball idiot.
Yeah, I think the Spurs had to cut him to wake him up.
And Lonnie definitely put in effort. He seems like a good guy, just doesn't process NBA basketball that great.
No Lonnie was given a pass because everyone said it was because he couldn’t process the game quickly enough to figure it out. That is just an opinion like everything else on this board.
He was not given a pass, he was shown the door.
He was often put on the top scorer on the opposing team last season, even with Dejounte on the floor. Was it because he was the best point of attack defender, or was it because he was so clueless that he couldn’t execute even one crisp rotation, let alone the frequently need second, and sometimes needed third rotations? You don’t rotate off the top scorer.
Bless his heart
Lonnie could run and jump like a deer
He thought like one too
At some point you have to draw the line. Neither Lonnie nor Samanic were worth the continued investment in them for an unlikely chance they could improve somewhat years down the road. Not worth the opportunity cost, good riddance to both.
Looking like a legit NBA player right now, TBH.
Holy cow, 9 points and 2 rebounds in 21 minutes on 4/11 from the field? Name him MVP already.
Yeah, but you're also discounting his -19
Meanwhile, Barlow (who likely wouldn't be on the Spurs without the roster spot Samanic's departure opened up) is putting up 21 points (8/11) and 17 rebounds, along with 1 block and 1 steal.
Barlow looks like a player to me. He's active and actually cares about his job.
I'd trade Samanic for Barlow in a heartbeat. Neither is ready yet, but Barlow is a rookie and his at ude seems to be terrific. Bad call on him? Doesn't get irritated, just goes back down the court. He hustles.
Nothing against Luka. He has talent and I'm glad he's woken up, but we have good young players replacing him.
Forget about Barlow, I wouldn't give up a bag of chips for Samanic.
When I first read this I thought u wanted to trade for Luka and giving up Barlow
