    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">SALT LAKE CITY ? Through four games at the Rocky Mountain Revue, Ian Mahinmi has shown the type of potential that made the Spurs gamble a first-round draft pick on him a year ago.

    His next goal is to show some muscle.

    Mahinmi had his most disappointing game in the summer league Tuesday, committing eight fouls and five turnovers in 17 minutes. Considering Mahinmi is only 19 and has never faced NBA-type competition, Spurs officials have been fairly pleased with his performance the past week.

    But they also acknowledge he's going to have to get stronger.

    "For a 19-year-old, he has a confidence and presence I didn't expect," said Spurs assistant coach Mike Budenholzer, who has been guiding the summer-league team. "He's been a pleasant surprise. But he's going to have to learn to play without fouling." </div>

    You can't really call it a steal until you see him perform in the NBA.

    I know, but i am just bitter that the spurs dont even need good draft picks to get good guys, while the twolves managemnet sucks so bad.
