“It’s rewarding for them to see some of the fruit of their labor,” Spurs summer league coach Mitch Johnson said of the squad, which finished 1-4 in Vegas. “Him being decisive is going to be the key,” Johnson said. “He gets in between sometimes with, ‘Should I drive it? Should I shoot it?’ Or he’s thinking, ‘I missed the last one.’ When you are as versatile and as skilled as he is, you just need to play and be aggressive. ... That’s going to be one of his strengths , so he needs to try to score.”
“He is big, strong, has great hands, very coachable,” Johnson said of the 6-foot-10, 240-pound Carlton. “He is a really good player. He gave us a boost.”
