Primo continues to look like he can contribute bench minutes and go from there.
I’m okay with the current Austin assignment and call up duty plan given the logjam at the 2 but if we could move White & Walker it would be great to see him take the reigns as the back up SG.

Sorry...wrong thread
This is a veteran play
, most veterans don’t even do this
He competes....... plain and simple!!!
Primo played 18 minutes last night, and did pretty well. He's also playing regularly in Austin and being featured there. Seems like all the cliff-jumping over him getting "banished to Austin" and not seeing the court in his rookie year might've been overblown... Who would've thought!
hey if we can mitigate the damage to just having wasted only a quarter of a season, that's a good thing!
Getting so much run against perhaps the best team in the league is a fantastic sign. Yes, it was the front of a back-to-back. Yes, Vassell was out. But Primo responded with seven combined steals and blocks and looked for all purposes like a kid who needs more floor time. Who knows with Pop, but this seems to suggest a pivot in his near future.
Have to say, compared to draft night, Primo has put on some weight. Dude looks a big guard out there, he looks more like 6'6/7 than 6'4/5.
Primo had 4 blocks in 18 minutes. That's 4 blocks more than Forbes had in his entire career
Watching the game live I knew he was hustling on defense and playing well but after seeing the stats I’m even more impressed.
gotta love his fight and confidence at such a young age. Like he isn’t y but he is self assured out there.
The Sniffers trying to spin it like this is the plan Popped had all along.
If Vassel was not out would we even see Primo up from Austin and in the game(s)?
Whatever, onward.
Heck Poodle doesn’t even play that great of a defense on Javale
Let's hope he gets some more minutes tonight to show what he can do. IF he can earn his way onto the rotation with the big boys, more power to him.
Bill Land is funny.
“three mo for Primo!”
He's going to be up and down as a underage rookie. I expect limited minutes with some games hitting threes and some games looking like an 18 year old that should be in college playing. That's the nature of the equivalent of a high school rookie. I'm just looking for flashes of potential.
I just think it was a wasted opportunity for us to cut Sammich. Imagine our Austin Spurs with both of these studs playing. G-League
Lil' Weezy is being sent back to Austin while Primo is staying with the mothership. Vassell and Keldon being out means minutes for Primo (and Bryn Bryn).
I honestly don’t care if Austin is a winning or losing program in any given season. It’s just a development platform, and I don’t view it as much more than an extended, more organized formalized summer league.I just think it was a wasted opportunity for us to cut Sammich.

So when is Pop going to get over himself and free this kid?
Well, he didn't get sent back down today so maybe sooner than we think.
Primo at 5 will be the smallest small ball in Spurs era
Keldon and Vassell are both on the shelf. Once they’re back, I think Primo will be back to his occasional call ups for homestands. I think there will also be a dead spot in Austin’s schedule, since they are 3rd in their division during cup play, and don’t look like they’ll make the tournament.
Most of this debate about Primo's time in or out of the G League seems like much ado about nothing to me. If a few games too many or too few in the G League in the first half of his rookie season could have some sort of long term negative effect on him, then I'd say his talents and temperament were too dainty to matter anyway. I'm guessing that in 2023, no one will think or talk about his handful of G League games at all, whatever the case turns out to be on his eventual ceiling as a player.
