Future Spur: Dylan Harper

[Dejounte]

So we have DeMar and Dwyane Wade.

[Mr. Body]

So we have DeMar and Dwyane Wade.

Well, a DeMar who will play defense and isn't the midrange maestro.

Cade Harden

Harper's handles are insane. Slithering through crowds like an airbender. His body frame size looks ginormous out there.

[BatManu20]

Harper's game is closer to Harden than D-Wade's tbh. But either way, he has solid measurements for the position.

Gonna keep spamming this until I speak it into existence

[Dejounte]

I meant in size only

if Castle is DeMar’s size, I don’t think anyone ever complained about DeMar playing the SF position

Damn, Queen scored a 6.2/100 (yes, 6.2, not 62) in this testing. Ouch.

[vy65]

What do those numbers mean?

[jjspur]

I wouldn’t mind Blake Wesley coming back if CP3 is gone. Acts as the backup point guard to Fox and Castle.

Wesley did show a bit of improvement last year, I'll give you that, but with a healthy backcourt and possibly CP3 back - or not, he's still mainly an in case of emergency type role player. Not sure that's enough for a team that badly wants to make and win in the playoffs next year. Remember, good teams are usually 10-12 good players deep - the rest and the two way players are in case of injury/emergency or the occasional blowout loss. Who knows, maybe, just maybe the spurs keep him. He'll definitely have to keep working on his layups this summer.

So we whiffed on no defense, poor shooting Branham, big deal, it happens to all teams. We have 3 picks in this draft, any of which could possibly replace his spot on the roster.

Wesley can't come back with the teams construction. Just need to find better shooting. I think he has a guaranteed contract, right?

Or the PF position, frankly.

He and Malaki both have guaranteed, ending contracts.

[100%duncan]

I see more Fox than Harden. This guy's finishing is insane. The shotmaking with the quality of looks.

[Eaglenole2002]

I really enjoy Hoop Intellect’s breakdowns on YouTube. Watching his Harper video… man, he just moves differently than everyone else. It’s hard to describe his ability to slither through double teams and his footwork to create space in the paint. I just can’t imagine this team passing on him. He seems to be everything we’ve been hunting for in a big guard. Just needs to fix/gain consistency with his jumper/release.

Lol, I see you beat me to the use of “slithering.” Its something to watch.

I told two of my friends ‘Fox and Castle in a blender’. He’s got that dawg and the size to play bully ball in the lane, in addition to his bag.

[Dverde]

Gotta pick Dylan Harper as the best player available. It will play out how it plays out. I think Keldon is the player that needs to go with Harper coming in. Vassell still very useful with his shooting and spacing. No minutes left for Keldon at 2/3. Malaki is an afterthought, he is beyond gone.

[CGD]

This is encouraging. Steph’s future on this team is at the 3 anyway. Here is hoping he makes strides on his shooting this summer.

He has superstar potential.

He's going to be the second best player behind Wemby on the Spurs. Spurs better not trade him. He and Wemby(if healthy) will form a future dynasty for 10-15 years.

I think he’ll play minutes at the three, but ultimately, maybe 4 or 5 years down the line, Fox will move on, and the back court will be Harper/Castle.

I want to see Fox - Harper - Castle - Reid/Fleming - Wemby, but I also want the Spurs to back up the Brinks truck for Chip Englund to give it the best chance to work.

These comps are crazy. It's like he has such a high floor and ceiling.

[LeBowen]

I'm 100% convinced by Harper and I want to draft him, but for the sake of discussion, how many extra assets would be enough for the Spurs to trade down for Bailey?
No chance I'd trade down to #4 or #5 unless it's a ridiculous overpay.
Would the Sixers evevn want Harper over Bailey? Maxey isn't a true point guard and McCain isn't near Harper's ceiling.
#3 and McCain for #2?
I'm not that high on Bailey, but Bailey's best case scenario outcome is exactly the wing Spurs need.

I think Spurs going for the BPA is guranteed, I just don't think they're 100% on Harper over Bailey before extensive workouts and interviews are done. No need to rush things, there's plenty of time.

I also think Castle and Harper would enable eachother to reach their full potential.
Nothing better than practicing against your mirror matchup on daily basis.
