This is the worst list I have ever seen
Just curious, they show Coop's score? Liked to compare with Bailey

Yea I'm not worried about it either tbh, especially with his advanced handle and his propensity to get to the rim at will. These Freshman often times grow a little bit in their first couple years in the league too. Maybe he grows another inch or so in the near future. Even if he doesn't, this kid is our PG of the future. He's going to be elite in a few years imo. Really excited to get him. The fact we're splitting hairs on his height right now and not Kon Knipple's is a huge relief tbh.
The Spurs could build a 3 guard high speed juggernaut. Pop's wet dream.
They have to have the balls to let the power of friendship coalition dissolve a bit in order to add 2-3 solid pieces to make this a compe ive squad.
Harper/Castle is the answer for the next decade+.
I need growth plate measurements before a decision can be made.
I doubt Fox gives him the number 2 though. Maybe wear his dad’s other number 4, it would help me get over Derrick.Yea I'm not worried about it either tbh, especially with his advanced handle and his propensity to get to the rim at will.

I think you got something mixed up.
Fox wears #4 hombre.
A backcourt of Vassell, Fox, Castle and Harper is a bit problematic, but its a good problem to have. Now we can get rid of the scrubs (Branham and Wesley) and have a really top notch backcourt. Time to look for a forward and backup center.
Devin won't be a part of the backcourt anymore. As in Castle should be defending SFs when they're on the floor together, but Fox/Castle/Harper should be the guard rotation with Devin playing as a nominal SF on offense.
you just need to watch the first 60 seconds to understand that this guy is a beast
Spurs need to give him Zero and make Keldon change his number again.
Damn right. Because Ron Harper also intended to wear 4 with the Bulls but the number was Sloan’s and retired, and switched to 2 which is what Dylan use. Yup getting all mixed up. 2 is perfect next beside Wemby’s 1 for 21 (Timmy)
Let's not forget who's our GM, Dylan Harper could very well end up being a couple 20131 20132 picks
they should make keldon change the name on the front of his jersey too
based on the combine measurements from today, harper's wingspan is over 4" longer than kon's.
The league in the 201st century is gonna be shook
This is blasphemy, I know, but the way he slithers through traffic and finishes at the rim reminds me of another lefty who used to play for us
I've seen it said before, but how accurate is the J-Dub to Harper comparison? I always thought J-Dub was a wing, as opposed to a guard, and have seen that his wingspan is considerably longer than Harpers?
He's good on 2K so he must be good irl. I'm excited! We keep locking out in the draft the past few yrs.
Another no lose situation for spurs
Harper has a 6'11 wingspan, Jalen has a 7'3 wingspan
Hollinger on Harper:
“I don’t think Harper’s case at No. 2 is quite as ironclad as some others think it is, but at the end of the day, I still give him the nod over Baylor’s V.J. Edgecombe for this spot. Harper doesn’t pop athletically and struggled to shoot consistently in his lone college season (33.3 percent from 3, 75.0 percent from the line), but he is a true ball-in-hand, pick-and-roll creator with plus size and instincts.
His nose for the ball makes up for some meh measurables: Despite not being a speed demon, he pilfered 3.1 steals per 100 possessions in Big Ten play and the defensive tape shows him sliding to cut off driving angles. Offensively, he constantly touches the paint and shot 57.4 percent on 2s with a high free-throw rate. Harper did this despite a limited Rutgers roster around him; the surrounding talent likely jobbed him out of several assists.
High-usage, big guards like Harper are among the most difficult and expensive to obtain by other means; in a related story, they are among the most important when it comes to building a successful roster. That’s why he has to be the choice here.“
Hollinger on Edgecombe:
“ Edgecombe was old for a freshman (he turns 20 in July), he faces questions about his long-range shooting and he might only be a one-position player. That said, he has the talent to be special, and I thought hard about putting him at No. 2. Athletically, he has a different gear, blasting off into drives into the paint and elevating with ease at the cup for his finishes.
Edgecombe also shows flashes of being an absolute monster on defense with his lateral quickness and hands, poaching 3.3 steals per 100 possessions in Big 12 games. Edgecombe’s first slide can be a bit sluggish, but he shocks shooters springing off the floor to contest shots with his length.
Offensively, Edgecombe’s shot looked like a project early in the season, but he seemed to fix a couple of flaws as the year went on. In Big 12 games, he shot 39.1 percent from 3 and 81.7 percent from the line. The vexing part is that he only shot 50.0 percent on 2s for the season, despite his incredible physical tools. Edgecombe has a pretty limited handle at this point, one that likely constrains him to playing off the ball or as a secondary creator, and he needs to refine his finishing package off the dribble and at the rim.
However, the Victor Oladipo comparisons here are obvious and the background on Edgecombe is off-the-charts positive. If I had the second pick, my war room would spend a lot of time arguing about Edgecombe vs. Harper.”

If Spurs can get something like Edgecombe + another asset that has to be looked at it seems.
