    Not going to derail the Sam thread with talk about Clarke. Just going to say I hope Luka does well and that I think there's a role for him with the big club next year if his shooting is there.

    I doubt Samanic will ever be the defensive dynamo that Clarke is, but if he's 6'11" and consistently hitting threes along with some playmaking IQ, he could be a very nice piece.

    I wonder what assessment the FO is making about Luka's progress over the break. I don't think it would impact who they draft, but if he is shows a much greater engagement and improvement, it makes me wonder...

    I wish he was on the swoll patrol instead of posting pictures calling himself a gym rat
    To be fair, the longer your limbs are, the harder it gets to see results of muscle mass growth, in some cases being damn near impossible to look "ripped" (KD) like our guards are. Still, Sammich in most photos is already showing a bulkier frame and arms, which are signs that he's been putting in the work even if he's not 100% yet.

    As for the GymRat thing, I actually also thought it was weird - it's one of those things that looks good when other people say it about you, but bad when you're saying it about yourself. But on a closer look... He responded to an IG pic of Drew working out by commenting "GYMRAT!!!" as well, so this might be just a case of foreign kid learning an expression that he likes and overusing it. We'll see in a couple months whose players' hard work paid off or didn't.

    You missed the neck that is bigger than his head? First thing I noticed. He’s been lifting.
    I agree. In the full photo, his legs look stronger as well. He’s putting in some work. I do think the photo is an odd one to showcase being a gym rat (he’s standing, doing a passive layup?), but I’m buying stock in Luka right now. I don’t know any of the details, but if I had to guess, I would assume that there is some camaraderie with the G league guys trying to improve and move up this year.

    Yeah, likely a language barrier/ awkward foreigner phase for Luka.

    Luka and Trey Lyles don't seem to be friends at all. Probably sees each other as compe ion rather than teammates. Not good for team chemistry, but I hope Luka gets better enough to beat Lyles in the rotation.

    Also, I don't know how Lyles thought he was ever good enough to have his own logo.

    He does look bigger. That would be great since he was rocking the high school physique last year.

    The Spurs drafted 6’4” - 6’6” guards 3 years in a row, so it’s pretty safe to say they go with BPA.

    It makes sense. I’m not expecting anything, to be honest. But bpa for the Spurs might not be what people assume.

    Oh, sure. They often surprise us. My point was that their 2020 draft pick will not be a commentary on previous picks.

    His leg muscles have their own muscles.

    Can he, KJ, and Lonnie peer pressure Dejounte into working out?

    Killian and Deni both follow Luka on IG. Probably nothing but it’s weird that he’s the only NBA guy they follow. Could just be a euro thing.

    Leandro follows Luka too (and Luka follows him back)

    Actually Killian follows other NBA players too so not sure where you got that from.
    He follows Frank Nk ila, Nassir Little, Sekou Dombouya, Nando Decolo,

    That’s good he is getting a bit bigger and most likely stronger. Hopefully he is also working on his stamina and film study. I’m very interested to see if he can earn some run with the Spurs early in the season

    Only thing stopping Luka from being a decent player was his strength

    Change my mind

    It's his head. His drive and for ude.

    But he's doing good. Getting mature and realizing what's important.

    His skill set was never questionable.
