Because he deserves his own unadulterated thread

Spencer’s about to check in to the GSW-Minnesota game halfway through the first.
here we go!
Spencer played for 6 minutes, like Gary Payton Junior, in GSW’s season finale loss tonight versus the Timberwolves.
#61 finished with 2 points, a rebound, and assist, and two turnovers for a -5 plus minus.
Meanwhile, Payton finished with a steal - that’s it - and a +2 +/-.
BTW I wouldn’t mind if Minnesota wins it all.

I hope Spencer's NBA career continues to bloom and it's awesome he's had the experiences he's had so far - dedication, determination, hard work, and the killer instinct on display.
I wonder if he’s getting enough run as a third stringer with the Warriors.
Would he be better off as a second stringer at a different organization where he could get more minutes, or starting in a premier European league for a season or two?
I love his determination and hard work, but some things are still missing from his game and he won’t develop them on the bench.
Was just thinking that last night. His play improved a lot when he was in the G-league running every day. He had great stats in some of those games. He truly lacks the fundamental decision making required of an NBA guard - which is understandable given his lack of experience. I hope he plays a ton this summer, works on his handles and his 3-pointer (which is not great right now) and then watches a lot of film of Curry, SGA, and other top PGs. He has great court vision, good size and decent athleticism to stick, but needs the repetitions and coaching.
I dunno, I think I could spend a few years as third string on the bench during games if it also involved practicing with and against guys like Curry. But I'm not ambitious enough to worry about that kind of thing.
