He has looked great. Presumably he was shut down for summer league. I definitely look forward to watching him this season.
Donovan Mitc dominated Summer League like Lonnie and went on to average 20 Points per game in the NBA as a starter that season. While Mitc was a way better defender than Walker, offensively they are quite similar. So yeah Walker's game should translate well and he should at least average 10 PPG
If he is taking beli's minutes this year, he's going to be a problem.
Lonnie's first step is elite level even on the nba, and his shooting mechanics are excellent, it's not just about the numbers but about the kind of skill he has, and Lonnie's strengths will be strong anywhere.
Spurs got a Donovan Mitc player in the backcourt to play with Murray (2nd Team NBA defense) and White. The next step is to see how well they can play together!
Jonathon Simmons was an undrafted prospect who was 5 years older. Kyle Anderson lacked athleticism and shooting, you could see that at any stage but his overall skill, ball handling, and defense isn't really in question he is just held back bc he isn't athletic and can't shoot the ball.
Lonnie is 20 years old, has improved substantially from last year to this year, seemingly has a really good at ude, and has no glaring holes in his game or at least nothing that hasn't significantly improved already.
Watching Lonnie I get the same amount of excitement as i did watching young kawhi. And I just don't say this about any player
Exactly, no comparison. Anderson and Simmons dominated for those exact reasons.
Needs to get over himself first.
Didn't Bryn Forbes dominate Summer League last year
Certain players have an it factor that is obvious. Forbes is good but he doesn't have that "it" factor, Lonnie does.
Pull up jumper is super smooth. I kinda wish he wouldn’t be so quick to settle for so many jumpers, but he has found the space so easily it’s hard to be critical.
I hope he actually gets to play. My guess, though, is he averages less minutes next season than Mills and Bellineli
That was D. White.
Bryn Forbes dominated the previous year.
People are sleeping on how greatly Forbes improved last year. Dude legit was compe ive in the NBA playoffs.
Let me just take the time right now to be the first to say that I think he's going to be pretty good. Heard it here first.
Bryn was 23.
Why do you guys keep doing this to yourselves?
bryn was putting up big points but shooting 40-43% from the field during last year's summer league. he wasn't as good a summer league player as anderson was. and as mentioned, he was 23 with ample NBA experience
Yeah, hoping the post season showed Bryn the way. Spurs looking to compete this year.
Bryn was really locked in during the second half of game 7. He really showed me something. When the pressure was at it's highest, he was really focused and locked in. I didn't think he was a great player, and didn't even want him in the rotation at the end of games, but he really did show some toughness in the second half of that game 7 on the road. I will give him props for that.
With the very few guys on the team that show guys on a regular basis, I'm kinda tired of people disrespecting Forbes, tbh. Dude was great for us.
We would not have made the playoffs without Forbes.
And Bryn forbes is a solid guard off the bench and one of the best shooters.
