so far this season in his limited amount of NBA time he is shooting 40% from 3....
You can do better.
Looks like he didn't need to shoot a certain 3 pt percentage to play in the NBA after all. LMAO

I don't think you understand what I'm referring to... Doesn't matter. I was just being playful.
Seems like you was joking about me saying the only way he gonna get real NBA minutes is him improving on defense (which in this small sample size, it looks like he is getting better) and being able to hit the 3 at league average which is around 35% with a decent amount (3-4) of attempts per game.
that’s cool that you are just joking with me but so far what I stated has looked very factual. Not to mention he is getting minutes due to injuries and COVID-19 related DNP’s. He is taking advantage of the opportunity, which is great
I definitely ( cautiously) have faith in him getting better and in this thread and the Austin Toro thread I’ve been one of his biggest supporters before the hype, but you know this already.
Interesting article about why we don’t see him much these days.

I'm suing that writer for plagiarism.
"Good things happen from there...... Until Popovich ing benched me for the rest of the season!"
I wonder where his confidence is now
In Pop’s back pocket.I wonder where his confidence is now
He's been much better than I expected.

“Beginning to prove himself deserving of time “...what about those games before the AS break you dumb old .
I seriously think Pop was showcasing Rudy. And think we'll see more of him in the 2nd half especially with his performance tonight.
So sad that the guy has to play behind a scrub like Lyles who probably wouldn't even be in the league right now but you know Pop.
Šamanić is in the same spot as Lonnie was with Belinelli last season. That’s the only approach that Pop knows. Right now it’s Luka and Trey. Luka already got him to split their minutes, now he has to take that spot away from Lyles permanently. If he messes up he will immediately get benched and Trey comes in.
There are certain players, you get the impression that Pop thinks giving slight praise as a carrot is the way to motviate them. Never give full on praise. He was like that with Tony until his later years. Seems like Luka is in that category. Other players he'll overpraise to keep their spirits up. I think he reads their personalties (as he sees it) and adjusts. Luka is a relative praise guy. All praise is a form of "he's slowly getting it". Keep the carrot out there.“Beginning to prove himself deserving of time “...
Of course, on the court, he'll yell at anybody. Which was great when the leader was Duncan who'll take it. When your leaders are Kawhi and LMA who quit, or DeMar who needs to be coddled it doesn't work as well.
I didn't get to watch the game. It was blocked out where I'm at. But watching the highlights, Luka looked very mobile defensively switching to defend perimeters. And his offense penetrating with the ball. He has so much athleticism out there that Pop cannot seriously not play him minutes anymore.
Luka is the real deal a lot of posters going to have to get that plate and Eat that Crow!!!!!
I know that +|- isn’t a good short term barometer, but in the 3 COVID games plus this one Luka has led the team in +|- 3 times and was 2nd in the other. Good things happen for the Spurs when he is on the court.
Hey Pop, pull your Larry Brown lovin' head out of your ass and give this kid 20 minutes a night.
Vassell too.
