By far the best possible team he could have went to. A player blowing up in the NBA could help us out with recruiting.

This.
I’m a Heat fan but I’ll be rooting for the Spurs next year. Love the pick.

RIP. They play system ball. Unless he is by far one of the best players we will have to play with in their system.

Agreed. They do such a good job at developing talent. Really happy with this.

The Heat should've traded into the draft to pick LW4. Great talent, coachable kid, underrated athleticism, and to me the best shooting guard in the draft with the highest ceiling. This is the steal of the draft. He will force coach Pop to tweak his system a little bit.

Their "system" is to play to the strengths of their roster. Pop has tailored his offense to his skill players for years. Rick Carlisle in Dallas on the other hand....

He fits in to their system pretty well though.

I concur with everything said here and would add that Lonnie is doubly lucky in that he very well may be the last Lottery-esque pick to enjoy Pop's full tutelage too. Pop I believe is the oldest current coach in the league as he's pushing 70 yrs old and seems like the kind of dude that might just wake up one day and decide he's done. No fanfare type of deal.

Yeah, let's go ahead and ignore how the Spurs develop talent.

This is one of the most idiotic things I have ever read on this board (and that’s saying a lot). No one in the league developes talent better than Pop and the Spurs.

That's because the @TheChosenOne is notorious for making idiotic statements alot on here most negative Nancy I've ever seen stick to what you know bud and obviously it isnt the NBA or Lonnie Walker and his abilities

Lonnie's hairstyle is not conducive to wearing a baseball cap. They should have had the foresight to give him a visor.

Couldn't agree more with most of the sentiment here. Really happy to see him drafted by the Spurs. May have been a few spots lower than projected, but he'll get far better coaching right off the bat than he would have if a **** franchise like the Wizards had drafted him.

This is a modern day Ginobli for them. He never had to create his own shot during his time with the Spurs and LW4 won't have to either. Pop is thrilled about this pick, because he's getting an incredible spot up shooter.
