The young players on the San Antonio Spurs‘ roster came into this year’s Summer League season with a lot to prove.
Lonnie Walker was looking to dominate this summer after spending most of his rookie year in the G League.
Drew Eubanks wanted to prove that his dominance with the Austin Spurs wasn’t a fluke last season and carry over that momentum into his second year in the NBA.
And the trio of prospects the Spurs selected in this year’s draft (Luka Samanic, Keldon Johnson, and Quinndary Weatherspoon) all wanted to hit the ground running in their first taste of NBA action.
