Before that, Landale clocked three professional seasons overseas in Serbia, Lithuania and his native Australia.“It’s like when Manu or Tony came over ,” Popovich said. “ was 19 but had already played a couple of years against men.The Spurs’ other notable rookie is a different story.At 19 years and 80 days old, Primo is also the youngest player on an NBA roster this season.
But since the beginning of February, Primo has been a fixture in the Spurs’ rotation, averaging 20.8 minutes in 14 appearances.“I think that comes with being able to lock in on the defensive end,” Primo said. “Pop is always telling me if I’m able to play well on the defensive end, I get a little bit more freedom on offense.”
There is no question Primo remains a more significant part of the Spurs’ future plans than any other rookie on the roster — including the big Australian who looked so dominant against the Pacers.
