Sorry to say but Luke looks like a much better fit than mitch, maybe the G league defense has something to do with it, but you can't deny is ability to space the floor, and put the ball the floor and drive.

We currently have major spacing issue, so I'm sure he will get a call up at some point base on the injury prone centers we currently have.

He is not a Center. The gap between Gleague and NBA is MASSIVE.
Kind of like the gap of objectivity when you got your hate Mitch vs reality.
Luca is not a center. How you an ascertain his fit is arrogantly ignorant.
Does that even remotely look like NBA interior defense the is waltzing into?
Stick even Knox down there and he’d light it up.

Luca is not a center. HE not even a PF. He is SF.

Pop had him a few years and still wasn't able to figure out what he was. The thing is, his major weaknesses aren't things that can seen on a highlight clip. How did he play on defense? Did he run and give full effort on the fastbreak? Did he stay engaged when he didn't have the ball?

Wasn't his problem was that he had a low motor. Dude is not aggressive at all.

Not much on him, but this isn’t a great look. According to this, the kid has skills and plays defense. Sounds to me like he is just immature.

‘Samanic has great physical tools and enough talent to make it in the NBA. He’s 6’10, can run the floor well, has a shooting form that suggests he could be a viable three-point shooter, can attack closeouts, and defend on switches. At some points, both in the G-League and in the scarce opportunities he got to play with the big team, he’s showed flashes of immense potential. But he’s also never really been able to play more than a few minutes at a time with full energy and has displayed some of the worst body language I’ve seen from a player fighting for a rotation spot.‘

Most players in the NBA have flaws, thats why there's roughly only 30 All stars (although 24 are selected each yr) out of 440+ players.

The most inmportant thing is fit, and if the player compliments the guys he's playing with.

Lamarcus Aldridge didn't fit with the spurs, did that make him a G league player.

Im not saying Mitch is a bad player, I'm saying he doesn't fit with the starting unit

Thibs Loves is Rim protectors but now a days teams are avg 40 3 point attepmts per game
