Tom Orsborn: Knicks reporters naturally wanted to know Pop’s thoughts on Luka. “He’s got a lot of talent,” Pop said. “Sky is the limit for him if he just sticks with it and does the things he has to to improve defensively and being consistent. He’s a good kid…The future is bright for him.”
Tom Orsborn: Pop says Spurs want Primo to have more time in Austin than with big club “for obvious reasons”: “He needs to mature in every way, shape and form because of his age.”
Samanic is on the verge of reporting to G-League Westchester’s camp, according to Thibodeau. Finally addressing the official signing, Thibodeau said, “I think it’s for the Westchester team. We’re excited to have him. We’ll get a look at him once they get going.’’
