He's projected for the 2nd, but I'd be surprised if he falls that far come summer. Efficient players with 3-pt range and combo-forward skills/height make handy role players as mismatches, and are uncommon enough to garner attention even when they fail to have all the requisite physical traits and skill-sets to play both positions.

The San Antonio Spurs auditioned Harper last week. "I shot the ball pretty well," he said. "It was my first (workout for a team), so I was kind of nervous at first. But as it went along, I got more comfortable."

looks like a tweener, whats his main position? can he play the 3?

He looks more like a 4 who can guard some 3's a little. Has a decent mechanics with post game, has a nice stroke, definitely would cause defensive match up problems for the opposing team. His strength and quickness would be the key issue whether he could cut in the league in my honest opinion, with what i've seen from him.

If anything reminds of a little of Channing Frye at times, except with some more solid post game skills.

Definitely a decent reach iin the draft f he impresses the FO.

Another stretch four? Pop must be jizzing all over himself.

[Spurs da champs]

He has a lot of potential IMO.

[Spurs da champs]

No, trust me No.

Why low work ethic?

[admiralsnackbar]

Scoring efficiency and handles alone make him intriguing, but he doesn't really fill a need on our team unless we plan on moving Bonner.

Considering the Spiders play a 2-3 zone and he was still the team leader in rebounds, I wonder how much of his defense/rebounding is attributable to coaching philosophy and how much to personal limitation.

[Spurs da champs]

Guy is soft as Butter, a piss poor rebounder, cannot defend PF at all. He cant play the 3......hes black bonner.

I'll take your word for it but he defiantly seems like he can be a lot better then you say he is.
