Spurs Select Croatian Forward Luka Samanic
6 years agoThe San Antonio Spurs have selected Luka Samanic with the 19th overall pick in the 2019 NBA Draft. Would it be a real NBA draft without San Antonio selecting a player from overseas? Samanic is listed at 6’10”, but can play a variety of positions. Many teams believe Samanic is currently at his floor of potential at only 19 years old. Samanic has a strength inside with footwork and has consistently gotten stronger in order to play in today’s game. However, Samanic has also improved his outside game each year with his past year reaching a career high in three-point efficiency. Samanic is coming into the league as a stretch four due to his inconsistencies on offense and poor passing. Samanic will likely have a small role off the bench in San Antonio with the possibility of playing in the G League on a two-way contract.
