    Beno is exactly how he is trending. If nothing changes, he'll realize he wants to be in a less demanding league, but hopefully he is better than that.
    You got all of this from his first year? I suspect the kid will be ok����

    Hopefully this season Luka gets some time on the court.
    It would be nice if the youthful scrappiness of his teammates rub off a little.
    He might end up like Beno did, talented but not quite tough enough for Pop.
    Beno’s problem wasn’t talent. He was ahead of his time. His pull-up jumper in transition game would be perfect in today’s NBA, but drove Pop crazy 15 years ago, when we ran a half court offense. He was a pale precursor to Patty Mills.

    I hope so, but remember the first thing we heard about him was that there may be possible motor issues.

    Really? Based on what? The only similarity with Beno is that the are both from Europe. You know what an opinion pulled straight out of your ass is worth?

    I assume that the spurs will be able to coach him into being a passable help defender, at the very least, based on their track record. Otherwise, his game will translate, it’s just a question of whether he becomes just a role player, a very good role player, a high quality starter, or a star player.
    Cheers.

    Let's hope he can learn those concepts through repe ion.
    We can be thankful his deficiencies are in that department.
    The teachable one.

    I'm looking forward to seeing him play.
    As I said before he's the X factor of this young core.

    I’ve seen a lot of weird and frankly dumb takes on Luka, and I feel like they come from people that have not watched him play. If you compare footage of Luka from his summer league games in the summer of 2019 to his time in Austin and his time in the bubble it’s impossible to miss his progression unless you’re trying to be negative. Luka had clearly bulked up, his ability to finish at the rim through contact is significantly improved, his footwork posting up has grown by leaps and bounds, and his three point shooting has improved as well. His accuracy on the three point shots was iffy his first few months in Austin, but his form looks perfect and he was starting to really put it all together with some very explosive and high scoring games before the shut down. His stats were somewhat hurt by KJ who was the featured scorer for most of his time in Austin, but once KJ went up to the big club Luka started to dominate at that level.

    There’s also zero comparison between Beno and Luka. Beno topped out as a solid starter who played more than 10 years in the league, but Luka could top out as one of the more dominant 4s in the NBA if he reaches his very high ceiling. Spurs fans are really ignorant.

    This. This is the dream. That would be fun to watch.
    Like old U of Arkansas coach Nolan's "40 Minutes Of " plus 8 minutes?
    That would be insane and wonderful.

    They were good! NBA players are hard to press & turnover at a high rate.

    All first rounders are on the NBA 15 man roster from the minute they sign their contracts. He was on the main roster LAST year.

    At 20, Luka seems to be growing more and close to 6'11. Spurs need that versatile 4/5 with handles and range.

    Yup, but not the Spurs "Family"??
    UTSA gonna take care of Devin,
    BTW HC Steve Henson, been a minute since he had a winning season. Also, Henson has a 6'10" Croatian on the Roster which is probably why Luka was practicing there anyways. Hopefully he has been getting SOME practice time with him and that Oklahoma Kid, who looks decent by UTSA Conference USA satands. Quite athletic.
    Lol. Why he play in long sleeves?

    Dont get it twisted those are just dudes that are playing in the gym, maybe inter-murals. Not the Actual Road Runners Team. They have a decent BBall Program and have made the tournament a few times. Greatest era and player was with Devin Brown who even made the spurs and RUNG with them against Detroit. He had a 10ish year NBA career played overseas. Don't know why a home town kid from SA who made the Team won a Chip isn't involved with "the program" on some level today? Thought the Spurs were about "family" and "community". BTW he was 100% better than patty Mills, Guess he never fully kissed somebody's ass or the right ass. PETER HOLT's CALL in this guy post career.
    Spurs never forgave him for falling down and letting TMac beat them with 13 in 30 seconds or whatever it was.
