Yup. And usually those reboots are like 15-20 years later, not ing 40 years. The fact Mel Brooks is still going to help write the script, co-produce, and star in the film at 99 years old is nuts. Will be interesting to see how it turns out.
They better not. Spurs are now set for the future with Wemby and the backcourt set.

Still somewhat indefensible. Being an outside shooter would explain fewer offensive rebounds, but he’s a terrible defensive rebounder too.
Yeah, I agree. I think it's true that bigs might get fewer overall rebounds in this era. A reason why guards pick up more rebounds in general and those triple doubles that Westbrook was getting weren't as impressive for me - because with more threes shot, there are more misses, and the caroms go further from the rim. With everything spread out, guards pick up more rebounds.
JJJ is a bad rebounder even by these cir stances.

Already media trained, knows all the right things to say.
ing spurstalk isn't embedding it because it's a short.
Will ace bailey be known as the low iq chucker who held dylan’s success down in college? I think so
Juicy indeed.
But I have to remind myself it’s probably VJ + 2 picks in the 20s with how ty the East is.
I loved hearing that Ron Harper is on board with the Spurs as his son's team. I would be be too, if I were him.
In thinking about his development, going against Castle and Fox in training camp, summer workouts and practices will be very good for Harper. Hopefully, some CP3 wisdom is still part of the corporate knowledge and that is passed on to Harper. Castle's all-business approach is like an old-school veteran already. Perfect for Harper.
Shows you how highly valued Harper is by opposing GMs now that the final scouting reports on him have been turned. I have a feeling many will be pleasantly surprised by how close to Cooper Flagg Harper is going to be as player when all is said and done. This isn't Wemby vs Scoot/B. Miller/Amen who are a glaxy(ies) apart. It will be Oden vs KD if the former didn't get destroyed by injuries..
If we ignore Grizzlies picking Hasheem Thabeet with #2
If given enough mins, it should be a tight race for the ROY between Flagg and Harper.
But Flagg is definitely a starter for Mavs and Harper is likely to come off bench behind Fox, Castle, Vassell (if he is not traded). So Flagg would be the favorite for ROY
Flagg may always have upper hand simply due to height. He's more capable of being two way: grabbing boards, blocking/distracting shots, maybe even deflecting passing lanes...harper will be better offensively
Over/under on this year's ROTY thread? 150 pages?
Three consecutive roty would be historic
3 straight ROTY would be sick but I think it’s pretty unlikely barring a Flagg injury. What’s Harper’s realistic best case statline if the Spurs stay healthy? Something like 15/5/5?
Hope they scheme to put extra sauce on Harper's game for the Mav matchups - on prime time.
Physically, Dylan resembles Ricardo Brown, though their offensive skillsets are different
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I think he has a chance because Cooper Flagg is not really known for his offense at this point. I could see Flagg averaging 14-15 his rookie year. He will make a massive impact on defense but if Harper averages 18 that will catch voters attention. The main key will be where the Spurs and mavericks end up on the standings. If mavericks miss the playoffs and the Spurs are like the 5-6 seed I could see him having a chance. It would take being on the low end of statistical spectrum and Harper on the high end.
So something like this
Dylan Harper: 18 pts, 33% 3-pt, 4 ast, 4 Reb, 1.5 stl
Cooper Flagg: 15 pts, 30% 3-pt, 4 ast, 7 Reb, 1.5 stl, 1.5 blk
Spurs 5 seed
Mavericks 9 seed lose in play in.
18 would be a lot from Harper but Castle scored 14.7 his rookie year and I think we can all agree Harper will be a better scorer. It would take Harper getting starter minutes and going off on nights when Wemby doesn’t play.
It’s a long shot but possible. Would definitely be historic to have 3 ROY’s in a row
Harper will really need the ball in his hands to fully develop. It doesn't need to happen right away. I'm sure they'll put in sets where he learns how to play off-ball, and he'll be more than fine. But this is gonna be a good headache figuring out how to get him and Wemby and Fox their proper touches. Castle, too, but I think Castle is very comfortable in an off-ball, cutting, finding seams kind of way and can ratchet down in usage.
If they add Durant, this is going to be a big bowl of spaghetti to figure out.
Man Edgecomb going to Philly is going to be great for them. Charlotte meanwhile will have a team of talented youth who just don’t mesh together. Idk Bailey wants to play for them over Philly.
Only reason Castle scored 14.7 is because of injuries, though. I think we all agree that if Fox/Wemby stayed healthy we would’ve seen Castle in a more limited role.
Not saying 18 ppg for Harper is impossible, but I pretty much think the only way he gets there is with injuries. If we do end up bringing in KD, I think even 15 ppg is pushing the limits if we’re assuming our main guys stay mostly healthy.
With Kyrie already likely missing the first 3-4 months of the season, Flagg is primed to have a big offensive role even if that’s not necessarily his strength at this point. Flagg putting up 15ish ppg seems like a borderline floor, while Harper putting up 15 ppg seems close to the ceiling IMO.
His chances really come down to whether KD joins or not tbh. Without KD, there are a few different ways he maybe gets there…but with KD, it’s just very unlikely he has the counting stats to be in the conversation.
