As fans, we can sometimes fall into believing so much in the promise of a young player that we overlook their flaws. We want to believe in upside and potential so much that we gloss over the obvious flaws and areas for improvement because it doesn’t fit what we want at that moment. Throughout the 2019-20 season, it felt like that’s where a lot of San Antonio Spurs fans were with Lonnie Walker.
It wasn’t just fans who were calling for more minutes for Walker, we wanted Lonnie in the starting lineup as bad as the rest.
