Keldon to have dominant primary role in the future for San Antonio Spurs?

[tim_duncan_fan]

Honestly, I’m slowly accepting it. Jae Crowder is 6’6” and is out there as a 4 and he’s doing fine. Keldon can become a Jae Crowder type 4, but hopefully better.

This is a weird year.

I think, once you have your necessary baseline of reliable outside shooters, length will win championships.

Keldon Johnson = Caron Butler

I didn't watch last game, but he played pretty well tonight. I'm really hoping he makes the final team, not only for the experience, but because he'd be a great cog for the USA team - one of the only players on the roster who understands being a "roleplayer" and doesn't have expectations of their NBA s om carrying over to the Olympics.

And I continue being impressed at how "in place" Keldon looks among better and better compe ion. We really have something special in this guy. He doesn't give me Nephew vibes (of the star-in-the-making kind...) consistently yet, but he's awesome to watch. Just wished Pop wasn't the Team USA coach, so he could get a different kind of coaching than he's accustomed to, and also not have to be slotted at PF full-time like Pop's become used to doing.

Keldon parading everywhere with the gold medal. Had it on him too when he attended the SL games. Show off the gold boy, you've earned it!


....Hoping for a day when he can roll around with NBA-related jewelry, tho

[ismael-robert]

He never played did he earn it? Guess he was good for practice

[XDT76]

He played a couple of minutes in a couple of games.

He played a couple of games, as well as helped prepare the SL during practices.

Stop being a hater and just appreciate

By this logic the only player “deserving” in KD.

I think we would all be parading our gold medals around, even if we just sat on the bench too. Why not? How many people have those?

[Fireball]

Show what you got Keldon ... an olympic gold medal is special ... even more so in team sports!

[Allan Rowe vs Wade]

I'll allow it

Mid-range, side step. Looking good. Looking more like a SF, where he can overpower smaller defenders.

Would love to see him repatriated to the 3 but I suspect given the current roster makeup and need for scoring McLovin starts at the 3 and Keldon at the 4.

He’s really not laterally quick enough to guard 3s.

[Brazil]

should be his breakout year after his gold medal. If he does not well...

[koriwhat]

Keldon will be at Buck & Doe's(24250 US-281, San Antonio, TX 78258) tomorrow for a meet and greet... I found that out yesterday while shooting a FN Herstall SCAR-H.

Go support your boy, grab an autograph, and let him know he's the future!

[stephen jackson]

Not sure if he has a role in a team built around the cornerstone, Bryn Forbes.

Not looking like big body now. Slimming down, getting faster for SF position?

[Dejounte]

yup, he looks very slim.

Wow that went from Timmy to Cadillac??

15 and 6 reb, while having a Efg at .530, I;ll take it!

Anyone notice. how Keldon's Game has evolved throughout the season? I've liked what I am seeing from the offensive side, especially with how calm and collective he's playing since coming back from Covid.
