At least the young ballers are showing out.

and the best player in Summer League?

Doesn't mean a ton, but for Lonnie, if he is to amount to this is exactly what he should be doing against this level of talent
Glad to see him dominating on limited time at that
A lot of lottery picks aren't even playing..
Is it nagging injuries or the fact that they’re not signed yet?
the spurs success this year will be predicated upon the growth of lonnie, derrick and murray more than anything else. and also, water is wet.
probably scared of injuries. Some are still playing. That Barrett kid has been .
They shouldn't even rate a guy like Cameron Payne, who has been in the NBA for 5 years. WTF?
Knicks pick #3 RJ Barrett underwelming: https://bleacherreport.com/articles/...showing-so-far
Too bad Lonnie Walker IV didn't face up with him and totally destroy his confidence.
Idk, haven't looked more into it.. I just don't think their teams want them playing, especially after they saw Zion get banged up.
Yeah, he's had one good game thus far. It's the effect that NY has on a man's career
He played what? 9 minutes in the SL? Scored 11? ing mugged Kevin Knox for the ball and threw down a powerful slam over him?
Who was the poster here saying Zion is a fat and not worth a ?
He's looking like a prophet right about now.
Lonnie's jumper and confidence has been on point so far.. He is elevating high for the jumper, which he will be able to rely on in the big league. He's been active in passing lanes.. Him hustling back for chase down blocks are well loved plays here for the coaching staff (see Danny and Jonathan)
At this point IMO for Lonnie, any issue will be between his ears. Either he sits and defers to the older men that have more experience, or he takes the bull by the horns and forces his PT.
Use whatever cute Internet term you want, couldn't give a less about him or the Pelicans. What I said is fact.
Only thing you've said that isn't hating is him being fat.. He definitely needs to slim down.
You hit the nail on the head.
Tbh Lonnie looks like a man among boys out there. This kid’s development has been off the chart!
He's having fun too.. smiling and clapping (the good kind not the Jeff Ayers kind) after plays. He's clearly comfortable. Hope he brings that same at ude come October
I've been noticing Murray trying to talk down to him (in a motivational type of way) on Instagram (even though he's a year and one season ahead of him) would be nice to see Lonnie tell him to go himself (figuratively at least) and assert his own claim to a leadership role on the squad.

I was hoping Metu would show off his development. Ewwbanks has displayed a lot of offensive skills and could very much get picked up by another team, in case he doesn’t pan out with Spurs.
ESPN hyped that Duke team up to the gills. Best team ever. A lot of teams bit.
I think Eubanks scoring has been boosted because decent post play from the bigs overall in the SL has been almost non-existent.. at least I haven't seen it. It's been all guards and forwards. He has shown the good timing, tracking, and recovery skills on the blocks though..
Metu.. smh. He should be a SF, just has zero SF skills.
Who would you have drafted 1st overall?
A GM in that position probably gets fired for trading that pick away, but I probably would have. Maybe Zion is good, but he doesn't even project in a position in the NBA. The fact that he's a fat right now isn't a good sign. Barrett has the same en led mentality with few skills to speak of.
