You actually worked really hard to find that terrible gif
Are you meaning Walker or Murray? I am completely lost in this back and forth over which player is being discussed.
I just googled "Mookie Texags" and it was the first thing that showed up.MookieBlaylock said:

Considering the Spurs have turned a lot of guys into solid NBA players and the only first round busts we've had since 2010 are James Anderson and Livio Jean-Charles, I'll take the odds that Lonnie is still in the league.

Lonnie ain't very good and has a long way to go to even make the spurs
Yes all of a sudden the Spurs front office has forgotten how to evaluate talent and develop it.
Truthfully, the key is if Lonnie himself wants to work to get better and I think that is one of the the things the Spurs look for is work ethic. I will put trust in the Spurs coaching staff and I think he will be fine in a few years.
I don't think the spurs will be the spurs in 2 years
This is gonna be ugly
But yeah this kid has bust written all over him and he needed 4 years of college to mature
Spurs don't babysit well

Definitely doesn't show anything NBA caliber there.
That was nice but I can watch the professor do that crap
Seeing as the Spurs don't have a guy on their roster that can shake and bake like that, I'll take him and the professor over Mills and Murray on offense.
So you want to win 9 games next year
Awesome
Send me a link when he does that against a player with a pulse

A top 1-4 pick in 2019 would be a decent start to rebuilding if Kawhi is leaving, so yeah.
Is there a Duncan or Robinson in 2019?
Soup?

You'll get your chance to see the kid face real competition. I bet he and White get a lot of minutes early this season. Btw, I disagree with you entirely. Lonnie checks most of the boxes. If he has the work ethic he'll be solid at a minimum. Just in these games he's shown great athleticism, good defensive instincts, a workable shot, and very good competitiveness.
Duncan Robinson signed a summer league contract with the Heat.MookieBlaylock said:

What pick was Jarre Jackson Jr?
We made that kid by giving his dad an outrageous 3 million dollar contract

He was 4th and Memphis was shopping it to get rid of Chandler Parsons.
That kid is gonna be great
He needs to learn to shake his jaws like the dog from turner and hooch like his paw paw

His old man was killer against the Lakers in games 3 and 4. Spurs getting huge games from random places in the playoffs. Like Kerr's 4 for 4 against Dallas in 03.
Stephen Jax hit a bunch that game as well
The manu vs Jax hate cost at least 1 title

Spurs have to be the only team to sweep Kobe, Shaq, and LeBron out of the playoffs.
Spurs still haven't ruled out matching Anderson's offer sheet.
Walker looked a lot better today. He's getting more drives going now, but he did try two circus shots against help defense when there were wide open assists available. He has the attitude of a lockdown defender. Still makes a lot of technical mistakes off the ball, but does well on the ball.
Metu has no idea how to work in the paint on defense. Bad positioning, bad leverage, gets pushed under the basket rebounding, gets caught flatfooted when he guesses wrong against drives. All of that can be taught. What can't be taught is his coordination on offense. He looks smooth and under control for a rookie big man doing the things he does.

The only reason to match would be to out-idiot the Patty deal from last year.

Metu played pretty exclusively as the only real big on the floor today and got exposed big time. He does much better when he has another big to take on the opposing teams biggest player. He did move his feet well on some pick and roll switches today, so he did have a couple bright spots in an other wise poor defensive display.
Brook Lopez signed by Milwaukee for a 1-year biannual exception. We could have paid him the same amount.
Derrick White left the game today with a strained right hamstring.
It was a much more complete game from Lonnie Walker today as he got to take on a bigger role offensively with Derrick White not playing most of the game. 14 points, 5 rebounds, 3 steals, 2 assists, and only 1 turnover. Still not the most efficient shooting the ball yet, but he didn't really force anything, just needs lots of reps. He looked pretty good running the pick and roll in the second half and can easily get to his spots. Once he develops a consistent jumper off the dribble, he'll be tough to stop coming off screens. He showed better vision today as he had a couple assists that should have been at least a couple more and a couple hockey assists. Still needs to improve his vision a lot, but today was an improvement from the previous game. Defensively he's a stud on the ball. I think at minimum we got us a really good perimeter defender that can sit in the corner and knock down 3s. He sometimes gets lost off the ball when his man is cutting and moving, but more experience and coaching can fix that. Blossomgame played really well today. 22 points, 9 boards, a steal, and 2 blocks. He even knocked down a 3. Still has to expand his range to have a shot at the big club, but love his energy and willingness to do the dirty work.
Don't think White had a lot left to prove so hopefully they just rest his hamstring so it doesn't linger into fall camp. Lonnie needs the time as the man anyway.
PJ and the other two guys at the end of the game think he's going to be something special. They said he looks like an NBA player.
