Humble Apologies, but gotta say, Spurs should draft Ace Bailey at #3, Trade Up to get Thomas Sorber. and the trade assets to draft Maxime Raynaud

Alright Pop. You got the blueprint. Let's make it happen...

NO Thank you.

What does that mean bro?

Then don't post. Just click the back button if you like. But better you tell me why I'm wrong. I might learn something.

[bigzak25]

NO Thank you.

But why not Iceman? Harper is overkill when we got Fox. And we all know Wemby don't want to be the downlow 5.

[bigzak25]

Let me just say. My profession is as a 14 year Quality Assurance Analyst. And I love this team. I wouldn't post this if I didn't feel it in my heart.

[SpurSpike]

I'm going to assume that means "you don't know basketball". Ace Bailey has been sliding and isn't even the consensus #3 anymore.

Yeah don't draft Kobe Bryant because you already have Eddie Jones and Nick Van Exel.

No

This take definitely requires an apology to go with it, so at least you took care of that right off the top

[vy65]

Wasn't aware we traded out from #2. Was it a good trade?

[Ice009]

I just think it's too risky. Forget about the No. 2 pick, but if the Spurs hypothetically had the 3rd pick, I'm not sure I'd take him there either. Would likely go with VJ Edgecomb instead. I'm not certain about if he can reach his ceiling.
I would much rather the higher floor and high ceiling guy like Harper. I want someone that can step in and be a franchise player with that second pick (another reason why I wanted Flagg, but the 2nd pick isn't that far off). D-Harp, I think also has a chip on his shoulder/dog in him, and I think he'll go for rookie of the year if the Spurs give him the court time. It's not 100% that Flagg will be the best player of the draft. They could even both be great.

So what do you know that I don't? Have you watched his highlights....he's fire bro...and we need a 3, assuming Castle at 2.

[bigzak25]

Lol. Harper's great. But he's not Kobe Bryant bro...cmon with that...lol

[bigzak25]

No

But y no, mo?

Thankyou Scott. And I know there's draft and trade threads, but I really wanted to discuss this scenario specifically bro.

Bro, I'm assuming 76ers would jump at the chance to draft Harper and let's see what we could get out of it to drop to #3 and take Bailey. And YES, that would be a win.

[SpurSpike]

Its not a terrible fit to have Harper, Castle and fox. Could be dangerous if they can keep the egos in check to have multiple slashers who can handle the ball. I do worry about this making Castle a little uneasy as he has claimed he wants the point guard position and he keeps getting pushed further and further from that.

Reasonable thoughts.

[TD 21]

Yeah don't draft Kobe Bryant because you already have Eddie Jones and Nick Van Exel.

Not advocating for not selecting/trading Harper, but that and the other usual suspect examples (Robinson/Duncan, Olajuwon/Sampson, Jordan/Drexler) aren't the same as this.

The issue here isn't whether Fox, Castle and Harper can play together in terms of size/position, but role, as none are off ball players/credible shooters in an era where that matters more than ever. They're also not an all time player/prospect in the bunch to render it moot.

I'm seriously chill bro. Eating some chips and salsa. Watching Bailey highlights on YouTube. Gonna drink a mini bottle of Sutters wine...

[T Park]

Lol. Harper's great. But he's not Kobe Bryant bro...cmon with that...lol
