All good. Sorry if I came off a bit harsh. I just thought everyone knew that is his father.
I’m sorry /-(

What is Ron Harper saying online that has Spurs fans concerned?
What i've read is all very optimistic.
I think people are just being sensitive/paranoid. The main thing I saw was just him saying that nothing is guaranteed (in terms of where Harper will end up) and people on Twitter need to stop playing GM because we won’t know what happens until draft day. People interpreted that as some sign Harper isn’t headed to SA but think it’s just normal dad stuff. He knows the NBA is a business and isn’t going to go around celebrating his son being drafted to SA before it’s happened yet.
I'm guessing Harper is the only guard on that list?
Not sure what positions some of those other guys play? Newell, Goldin, Nelson, not sure where they play? Are they fowards?
Most of them are bigs being fed the ball for dunks.
Essengue the closest to a 4 but most of his points come from fast breaks.
A couple of guys create their own shot more often - Raynaud, Yang.
Implication being that Harper is a clear outlier and an amazing driver and finisher, especially considering he was playing in a horrible team with barely any spacing.
Yeah, cool, thanks. That is awesome then. D-Harper has to be the pick, and run with that. The Spurs won't get an offer to make them want to give it up.
that's Tony Parker level efficiency by Harper
I was trying to think who he'd be closer to between Manu and TP (i was thinking Manu due to being left handed and a bit bigger), but maybe Harper could end up being a real combination of the two. That RIM efficiency looks great and very promising.
Really hope they don't draft Essengue. Doesn't look impressive at all. Skinny kid who doesn't look to be a good shooter.
Why the need to compare with past Spurs? Harper is not like either of them.
He’s very difficult to evaluate. He can look weird and uncoordinated at times but the combination of youth, tools and production has been a formula for success in the past.
He probably doesn’t last until 14 anyway.
We’re cool :-)
That’s Tony Parker-esque efficiency there. TP at one point was among leaders in FG% despite being a guard, attacking trees with his wide-arrays of under the rims moves. The most impressive thing was TP rarely dunk. I probably seen him only dunked once, just floaters, spin lay-ups. I don’t know if he coaches anyone because I don’t see any of Spurs players doing his under the basket moves.
Duncan was sureball,
Tony was sharp
Manu was otherworldy
---------------------------------
we Spurs fans were spoiled
Essengue reminds me a lot of Ousmane Dieng, but probably a bit better, doing better in a better league. God, I still can't believe somebody drafted Dieng.
It’s worse than that. They traded 3 FRPs to get the pick used to draft Dieng.
This is unthinkable when you consider the spacing in that offense.
Dude just has it.
And a lot of those bigs were getting set up by guards. Harper's were almost all self created.
And yet that bum GM's team is about to ring with one of the youngest squads in the league![]()
A GM can do well by putting himself in a position to safely take risks that fail miserably. Dieng not panning out after trading 3 FRPs for him, trading Sengun, trading a guy you took #6 for a high end role player, etc. all seem like things that might doom you… but they are things you can afford to do when you stock the war chest that deep. Seems to be the strategy Ainge is going for as well. Unfortunately he doesn’t have his SGA.
det paul george haul tho...
that and getting 2 firsts and CP3 for westbrook![]()
Wow, you completely missed the point. How about that?
