If he can stay healthy, he'll be a 10 plus year, probable All-Star level starter. I'd say that's probably his floor.

I think overall physical strength could end up limiting how great he can become. But I assume he'll get stronger, and as he does, assuming he can stay healthy, he'll get better and better.

And now he’s taking the rest of the summer league off

The Spur’s didn’t win.

Yes they did.😉

I know that they have been saying blacks are not smart enough to play quarterback. I just did not want to go there.

They (Mahones, Jackson) sure have their teams fooled if they're not smart enough. I think the shortcoming is with Lucy and their ilk.

He’ll probably load manage half the season

From my memory, Popovich was one of the first to load manage his players, so yep.

I'll take terms I hate to hear for $200 Alex!

..."what is load management"?

As many have mentioned, VW's skills and potential are not the concern; rather, it's his durability. There are so many examples of 7-footers having problems with their knees, ankles, etc.

The injury potential for a 7-4 guy who weights only 210 lbs--and whose game isn't just in the paint--would scare me to death if I were the Spurs.

Read something over lunch saying that with Pop's extension, the Spurs are playing the long game on the rebuild. Expect minute restrictions on VW as they build him up.

I didn't realize that the French League he was in only plays once a week, but that was mentioned too.

I think he may be the greatest talent I ever have seen.

I think he may be the greatest talent I ever have seen.

My only worry is playing at this level of intensity and the number of games a season in the NBA how long can his body last?

He's starting at 19, surely the legs will give by the time he is 30. He will also need to bulk up but that will lead to knee issues at some point.

You have seen it in other professional sports when they start too young.

I love this thread. Makes me feel better about all the dumb things I've ever posted on the interweb. 🤣
