On July 11, Beijing time, the Spurs lost to the Warriors 85-86 in the Summer League.
Among them, the rookie Wesley of the Spurs continued his excellent performance in the previous game. He scored 22 points and 5 rebounds, and made 4 of 7 three-pointers. He showed his offensive talent, especially in the final quarter. Divided into the account, the score overtook, and almost defeated the Warriors. In the first game against the Cavaliers, Wesley played 30 minutes, made 7 of 16 shots, 3 of 4 three-pointers, and scored 20 points, 2 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 steal. The guard from the University of Notre Dame is a 19-year-old young player with a height of 1.96 meters, a wingspan of 2.06 meters, and a good scoring talent. Wesley’s draft report clearly pointed out that this is a super scorer and has the potential to become a lottery dark horse. But unfortunately, he averaged only 14.4 points, 3.7 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.3 steals during his college days. He shot 40.4% from the field, 30.3% from three, and 65.7% from the free throw line. Such bad data made most teams discouraged, but the Spurs did the opposite. They won Wesley with the 25th overall pick in the first round. The Spurs, who have always been good at low-ranked “Taobao”, still didn’t see it wrong this time. Wes proved himself to the management with his excellent actual performance. After the game against the Cavaliers, Spurs Summer League coach Mitch Johnson was interviewed by reporters. When it comes to the performance of the team’s young players, Johnson said he saw “a flash of talent” in some moments, but also a feeling of “young people are still very young” in some moments.
Talking about Primo and Blake Wesley, Johnson said they are typical of the modern offensive guard and are optimistic about their future. In addition, Johnson also said: “Wesley has all the conditions for defense. He is tall and long, has foot movement speed, lateral movement speed, he has everything.” And when it comes to Primo, he played 29 last game. In the minute, he shot 7 of 12 from the field, including 5 of 7 three-pointers, 1 of 2 free throws, and scored 20 points, 5 assists and 1 block. The performance is not bad. But in the battle against the Warriors, he made 2 of 15 shots, scored only 10 points and 4 assists, and also had 3 turnovers and 3 fouls, an almost disastrous performance. The offense is unstable and the mentality is poor, which has almost become his label. And that’s how Primo’s draft report described him.
Advantage: One of the young players this year, he was only 18 years old when he entered the NBA, and he will not be 19 years old until the end of this year. He was originally expected to be a rookie in the class of 2022. After participating in joint trial training this year, he performed well. Primo decided to stay in the draft. . Good shooting potential, although the three-point shooting rate is not outstanding, but the shooting range is long, the shooting speed is fast & smooth, and the small details are well done, always ready to catch the ball and throw it, and be able to catch the ball in advance. Ball squat action. With a height of 1.96 meters and a wingspan of 2.06 meters, he is a very good figure in the position of shooting guard, and has good jumping ability and confrontation ability. A multi-position defender who can guard from the 1 to the 3, and if he gains weight after entering the league, he can guard the 4. He shoots 50 percent from the 3-point line, and is good at using his bounce and wingspan to finish neatly.
Disadvantages: Primo is now capable of doing everything on the offensive end, but there is no embarrassing situation where he is proficient, but that is what he played in the NCAA when he was only 17 years old, and he was only 18 years old after entering the NBA. . The explosive power is insufficient, and the first step of starting can not shake off the opponent. After his offensive route was predicted by the opponent, he could not make adjustments in time and was prone to mistakes, which was also related to his lack of offensive skills. Terrible left hand finish. Now Primo, as a defender, has poor explosiveness, slow speed, unstable three-pointers, and most of the irons. Last season, Primo played in 50 regular-season games, including 16 starts. However, with more than 19 minutes per game, he could only score 5.8 points on 37.4 percent shooting from the field and 30.7 percent from 3-point range. But there is one thing, Primo’s age is only 20 years old at the end of this year, age is his biggest advantage so far, and just entering the second year of the NBA, we can’t ask for too much, Primo has become a superstar in the future All the qualities and conditions that should be possessed, but at this stage, he is only a piece of rough jade and needs to be polished.
After Jasmine finished her fourth season, she only averaged 11 points, 5.8 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 1.68 steals per game, of which she shot 46% from the field and 37% from three-point range. We need to give him some time, he still has a lot to show and prove, this fall, I believe we will see a brand new him.
