I will be surprised if he plays more than 20 minutes.
i think with the wing back court rotation, someone needs to go... u can get rid of belli, DD and even that scrub IB....
inin any other franchise obviously yes, in Spurs with Pop obviously no.
, as good as he played, he probably only earned himself 2 more minutes in the lineup..
I'll be surprised if he plays 10
I agree with that and sadly unless we get LMA and DDR out of the SL we are not gonna see that. If there is some way to get LMA and DDR (with Gay too) playing on the 2nd team, I am all for Lonnie, White and DJ to start.
I am happy for him to take over Belli minutes for now.
The real question is will Lonnie Walker IV play the next game tbh
If this game doesn't earn him some regular minutes, I don't know what will.
Who would he replace? You realize Forbes is Pop's new favorite right?
no he won't. Forbes scored 25 that game. I like the Murray/Mills/Walker/Lyles/Poeltl bench unit a lot. They can run, have great defense and perimeter shooting. Walker coming off the bench is fine as long as he plays 25+ minutes
Better Pole would be does Lonnie play next game and get meaningful minutes tbh?
I said all along that he should play the Jaren Jackson role. Come off the bench and just gun it. Don't look for anybody else's number
No to starting next game but Pop will have no choice but to put him in the starting lineup this year. He's a difference maker and even though he's going against NBA athletes, his speed is on another level. He pretty much can get anywhere he wants on the floor and the defense is much improved. Did you see that block on Rivers. Oh my.
this was my analysis the first time I saw him, he has things that just can't be taught, his athletics and first step are way above 95% of players in the league.
I would and put Spurs best defensive team to redirect the lost iden y of this team. Defense wins games. The often used small, unathletic, supposedly shooters, would not outscore anybody in this league, especially not stopping the scoring on the other side. I’d even put Demar in the 2nd unit to spread touches with Aldridge/Demar and solve the ballhandler problem without using Mills overly as PG, and fix the spacing in the 1st unit. Of course it’s not going to happen.
He'll get more minutes than usual. He won't start.
From barely playing to starting after one good game? Let’s just hope he gets more minutes and can prove he can consistently be productive
A post with some logic. I concur. They both have ways to contribute and both need to play. I believe Forbes was 10 for 13 from the field with 5 of 6 from 3 pt land.
Truest statement
Lonnie is perfectly set up to play the bench spark right now. No reason not to keep him in that role unless we play the Rockets and Clippers again (defensively should be glued to Harden/George/Kawhi type players). Love the way that he is so energetic on that defensive end now. Whether you like Pop or not, he definitely has a different intensity about him that I did not see before.
I'm not a fan of Forbes starting, it's just that Pop wants to play Forbes and Mills and they shouldn't really play together. Pop won't start Walker in place of Forbes when Forbes just scored almost the same amount of points as Walker
