Primo assigned to the g league

[exstatic]

and thus stunted the growth of every single one of them...while rookies on better teams get real playing time and look like legit contributors by their second year

Spurs #28-30 picks out perform most teams lottery picks. You’re just being stupid and hysterical, as if every selection in the first round can develop into an All NBA player.

It's a legitimate question.

I don't think a game here or there is going to make much difference.

He'll play a lot of minutes and practice and recover a lot in Austin. If he's completely dominating as you think he will, he won't stay there long. It's pretty simple and fun to follow.

Or maybe it's fun for some to melt down over. YMMV.

The spurs have played 8 games

I don't really mind the g-league assignments, but I do feel for the players though. Imagine being a lottery pick and not have the chance to compete for rookie of the year. That is a chance that you can never get back.

I'll wait to judge but I don't see the harm in giving him at least 15 minutes a game off the bench, and if we're not doing that by January that's a silly decision IMO.

And?

[spurraider21]

And?

thats more than a game here or there. its 10% of the season

That's the best point anybody has made.

So it's already too late?

Back to the g league. Expect it 50 more times noobs

my guess its for them to be around the team and coaches as much as possible

Legit question.

When in the season would you declare it a lost season for Primo if he doesn't get the NBA minutes you want?

[ChumpDumper]

I would expect about the same number of G-League games for Primo if he's as good as you claim tbh.

dont know where the line is tbh

i think every game that has passed by is a wasted opportunity. depends how much wasted opportunity one is ok with

im neither advocating or opposing the idea of gleague with my post. Im addressing those people who are shocked by the move by the Spurs to bring Primo back and back again with the g league. It’s something that’s happened year after year and i guess people didnt pay much attention, they have bad memory, or only followed the Spurs last year.

So you don't know how much wasted opportunity you are OK with?

gotcha. i'm not shocked at all, so i think we're on the same page

i think pinning me down to a specific number of minutes played or not played is a silly tactic

you could do the same with covid deaths to criticize government action/inaction. ie at exactly how many deaths did trump's policies become too harmful to the point where you disagreed with them? exact number of deaths. otherwise you have no argument. see how silly that is?

also known as the continuum fallacy

my point is that wasting time is bad, and that so far they have been wasting time. my argument does not require me to identify a specific amount of wasted time at which point primo becomes a lost cause (something i have not argued)

[emanueldavidginobili]

it at least we’ll be able to watch him play tomorrow night.

[Leetonidas]

Would any other 2-8 team that missed the playoffs back to back years not play their lotto pick in the RS and send him to the Gleague like SA? We all know the answer.

The kid should be playing, period. Spurs need to make room and trade some guys and give this kid some burn instead of trying to hold onto every middling player we have and hope they turn into kawhi magically

you happen to know where one would be able to watch the game?

So there is no actual number at which it would be considered a wasted year and there is no such thing as a wasted year because that wasn't argued?

OK.

[ChumpDumper]

Looks like it will be on the G-League site. Thank goodness there only seem to be a couple of carriers this season.

OK.

re the bolded: straw

i think what number cons utes a wasted season is somewhat arbitrary. its also not what i was arguing, so trying to pin me to a number is silly.

my claim is that 8 games into the season we've wasted time/opportunity for primo to get some experience. i hope that doesn't continue.
