Pre-emptive PTSD in the form of fears of Uncle Dennis 2.0.
People are getting way over their skis with Harper Sr’s comments.
Pre-emptive PTSD in the form of fears of Uncle Dennis 2.0.
I never said for the Spurs not to draft Dylan because of Ron just putting it out there that he's a Spurs hater. It's always important to know who you are dealing with in life in any type of relationship and not to go into it blind. A lot of Spur fans were blindsided by Uncle Dennis that's why I do think it's important to understand Ron's agenda because as we have seen in the past a family member can have a huge impact on retaining a player down the line.
That can definitely be the reason why he's Anti-Spurs. I would also say he was close with Shaq from playing on the Lakers 3 peat team so that could also influence him.
Damn that Ace Baily is growing on me. Just looking at some highlights and Baily looks like a better bet for the near future. We absolutely need a dawg when it comes to creating a shot. That dude has some Melo Anthony in how quick he can get to a good shot. I don't care who's feeling get hurt.
Are you saying you want Bailey at number 2? I'd only be interested in trading up for another pick to get him, but that is only if the Spurs believed in him. I don't think I would take him at number 2 even if he was the supposed 6'10" people thought he was before the official measurements.
Bailey looks incredible in highlights.
Ron Harper saying the bulls would’ve swept the spurs if the bulls were kept together is what’s expected. He’s not going to go in and say the spurs will run a train on them because the bulls always struggle against quality bigs (rik smits was giving them trouble for Pete’s sake).
That said, him being close to phil probably would make him think the spurs were overrated as an organization, and seeing KFC struggling without Tex winter or other actual basketball minds around him would understandably make Ron wants to protect KfC by minimizing the accomplishments of the spurs.
But if he would rather have his own son play for the nets, which has historically been one of the worst franchises in the league over this, I sort of question his credentials as a dad.
Good thing Dylan listens to his mom
So do most players.
I don't expect any player to admit their championship team would lose to another but for him to say the Spurs would get swept by the Bulls was disrespectful. That '99 Spurs team was better than all the teams the Bulls faced during their second threepeat.
Bailey is 2 inches shorter than previously advertised and underwhelming vertical at the Combine. Expect Philly to draft a knockdown shooter in Tre Johnson, while Hornets already have taller Miller. Not to mention Kon is perfect at Jazz.
My point.
he's boom or bust. I'd rather take the sure future All-Star combo guard than a forward who could be anything between Michael Beasley or Melo. Bailey really messed up in interviews too.
Reporter asked him "Name 2 strenghts and 1 weakness of your game."
Bailey: "I have more than 2 strengths and no weakness"
Reports say teams are already looking at him like he's a huge idiot.
Cam Whitmore,revisited.
Yeah Austin Rivers looked insane in his HS highlights which are the ones that got everyone excited about Ace.
No not at two.. they gotta trade down and get a good role player or a good center with the 3.
This sure aint rocket science. As long as the ball goes in the hoop.
Had the Spurs landed third I'd want Ace but at 2nd need to go with Harper.
Sounds like some people still believe in Ace. Would anyone want to try and trade up to get him along with Harper, or is it not worth the cost?
If he starts slipping hard I'd consider trading up to 10 or so for him.
I have a feeling spurs will pick bailey. This based on how the spurs are drafting (except for wemby). Harper might be a better player than bailey but bailey fits the roster better than harper.
the Spurs don’t draft low IQ chuckers. Bailey will drop to 5 if not lower
Yea all the early buzz on Ace post lottery is that he is trending downward quickly. Many mocks showing VJ @ 3 and Tre @ 4 even. With teams getting much more access this next month for private workouts and interviews the secret that he is a knucklehead is getting out.
