Before the Spurs’ Friday night loss in Memphis, Gregg Popovich had nothing but good things to say about second-year guard Lonnie Walker IV. He praised his decision making and effort on defense.
“He’s learning very quickly, pretty good decision maker but he prides himself first on playing defense and running the floor and trying to do all the basic things.”
“He’s just figuring out how to play the right way, He uses his speed wisely to get by guys, so he’s using his athleticism wisely.”
That’s a far cry from the beginning of the season, when Pop bluntly called him out for not doing every thing he just said following a loss to the Clippers.
