The Touchdown Jesus Statue of Blake Wesley

[BatManu20]

It does speak well of him that, despite shooting horribly, he was still able to put up 20 shots. Lesser talents sometimes don't even get to the spot of being able to get a shot off.

Agreed. It’s SL too. Much rather watch Wes continue to take shots and miss than watch some of these other guys who’ll never play an NBA game in their lives jack up shots.

[tonight...you]

I go to the spurs game here almost every year and I’ve been witness to Pop cussing Tony out! Tony never showed is tail, he would just keep doing his thing! Tony was different…..

Tony also had Tim absorbing the brunt in front of everybody and taking it.
He watched that and had to follow the greater player's example.
DJM had none of that to help him grow.

Situations are different and handled differently, right, or wrong.

The first move is what separates Wes from Lonnie. Yeah, he goes full speed at times but he has it in his bag to stop and go and make savvy moves like that.

His pure, unadulterated aggressiveness is what separates him from Lonnie.

the thing is he's basically putting up sop re stats out there. Most rookies, like Lonnie and many others, look like this in their 2nd year in summer league. Blake is looking like that his first time out there and he's 19. I can't wait for Manu to coach this kid, he got that compe iveness and his play is sometimes chaotic, he just needs to learn how to control it. No one better than Manu to teach him.

Spurs are set at PG for the next decade tbh

You have a sig?

[tim_duncan_fan]

Super high on this guy. If nothing else, we got Blake. He's going to be really damned good.

We haven't had a guy who doesn't give a this much since young Manu.

Just start Blake at PG to start the season tbh.

Nah, Pop don’t really get down like that as you know; the kid will earn it in due time.

wtf is unadulterated.. just said.. his agreesiveness and maturity is what separates him from LWIV

[DrSteffo]

I like him because he plays hard. A fighter/scorer and a slashing combo guard. Will be a great bench player, like Manu light.

[Dancelot]

When watching the draft I felt like this was going to be her best pick, especially with the position

[John B]

I hate to bring Kobe, but same drive and iness (not bad) at that age, fearless.

[Dejounte]

We have not even seen him unleash his post moves, which are a big part of his game, because of the lack of spacing in summer league. Wait for it, gents.

I've seen reports about his ability to run the pick and roll- never heard about the post moves-
Malaki yes but not Blake

Yessir. You’ll see.

I wasn't talking to you.

[exstatic]

Yup.

And it's not just that. If your scouting and player development personnel are able to consistently (I'm not saying always) turn picks in the 20s into top-10 players in their drafts, even if it's not top 3, you can put together a package for a superstar much more easily. Obtaining mid to late firsts is not nearly as hard as getting unprotected picks.

Imagine the Spurs having a draft pick trove like the Thunder's.

We’re rapidly approaching their level. Remember, they’ve been using them, and flat traded THREE FRPs for Dieng.

Yessir. You’ll see.

You sound excited about this kid……. Anything that helps the team is a welcomed addition! Abuse little guards & blow by big slower defenders works for me.

And probably more to come
