Barlow = David West on offense
My favorite player on the summer league roster (excluding wemby). He needs to be on the team
Barlow = David West on offense
That‘s a good comparison
Nice comp. Agree.
If the first team is resting then
WEemby, Barlow, Champ, Malawi and Tre is not bad hmm.....

Given the lack of space to convert to standard this off season, i'm guessing the compromise will be to re-sign on a two-way and if he maintains/further progresses, they'll revisit it post trade deadline if they've cleared out some roster space or at the latest the following off season.
Impressed with his improvisation in the DHO game. Instead of just handing off every time, he keeps the defense off balance with reverses and ball fakes into pull-up mid rangers or spin moves into layups.

I think he stays on a two way until we can do some trades but I am sure there is a wink wink deal in place I am not worried about loosing him. He knows he is in a very good place as we picked him when he was undrafted that shows we believe in him when others didn't and he seems to be a loyal type of guy
I think so, too, as this will be one of the last seasons we’ll be able to carry contracts to barter at the deadline for assets and longer contracts. We caught kind of a break with Primo crashing and burning, causing no extension next summer, but the following year, we have THREE scheduled, so that will be the end of contract flipping.
Ten standout players from NBA Summer League
Champ's photo was used but he didn't make their list, Dom did.
Everyone came to Spurs games to watch Wembanyama, but many people left impressed with Barlow, too.
Barlow was on a two-way contract with the Spurs last season after being undrafted out of Overtime Elite, but he looks like someone the Spurs need t lock up with a roster spot contract (at the minimum or close to it, but still) before another team grabs him. Barlow had 17 points and six rebounds against the Trail Blazers, comes with an NBA body, and could be another success story for the Spurs' development program.

Barlow turning out to be everything we’d hope Samanic to be.
He's easily a rotation player right now. He's making strides quickly
hoping he keeps impoving....Would be awesome to have another young big along side wemby
You don't want to overreact to a few summer league games, but Barlow seems to have made huge strides. He was so lost during the regular season. He looks so much more comfortable and his mid range game has been revelatory. They need to get him under contract, but it's crazy how many really young dudes they have on this roster. Almost half the roster can't even drink legally.

Wut lol
Versatile switchable big tbh
The hopes for Samanic were very different tbh. Especially offensively. Don’t think we ever saw him as a C type
the guy's GOTTA be a keeper
the Spurs will need to figure out how to keep this group under contract. Which is why I like the Bassey and Champagnie contracts. Barlow needs to be locked up into that kind of deal as well, cause at some point we will have to let some of these guys go.
think more people are going to be moved than we think between now and the start of next season. especially if we wind up with 3 first rounders.
Need to see it against NBA compe ion.
The read was Samanic had the tools but none of the motivation. Barlow seems to have the tools and a drive.
There so much talent in the league now that you want players who keep improving year after year.
Barlow seemed to have gotten stronger and that's a good sign.
Wesley is problematic because the needle doesn't seem to have moved in terms of gaining more skill. He obviously is quick but he's still making mistakes.
I like Barlow but it wouldn’t hurt to also practice outside shooting. His mid-range is already reliable but if he could extend to the arch on occassions, would be great. But already I’m a fan.
Agree. Samanic was that “modern mobile big with guard skills” who can stretch the floor. Although I have to admit, he could post during those Bubble League or whatever it was called and seemed to be the best player on the court. Still hurt.
I have also liked Barlow because mostly of his reported at ude. He is quick on his feet and just has that will to improve. A little worried about his shooting form though, it looks like a push shot, maybe not as ugly as Bill Cartwright's but he seems to push it up high over his head, then flicks it with his wrists. He's definitely making them, but I am not sure how that would extend his range.
