. . . and none of them have Wemby.
Yeah, Sochan's usefulness is kind of narrowing. Bench defensive specialist. Won't be able to be in units with Castle (unless Castle's shot develops). Jeremy can help himself by continuing to develop his rebounding. Thought he made a nice leap in that area this past season. If he can keep his ORB% at around 10 like it was this past season and increase his DRB% to 20, that would be be huge.
I meant Giannis good
Thats who I was comparing him to. I’m not saying Harper is going to suck. I’m saying that trading him for Giannis shouldn’t be considered stupid
If we trade #2 + others for Giannis, when do you see that going down timeline wise?
How is a guy who is only a 2 a better fit than a guy who is a 1-3?
Pure ability wise, peak Giannis is a borderline top10 player ever, I don't think even Flagg has that kind of ceiling.I meant Giannis good

Good video, almost half of it is about his flaws.
I'm sold on this kid, have him and Castle battle it out for the long term #2 role.
the bad thing about this trade is wemby’s value will go down and some people will say he played along side future hall of famer(still prime giannis)in his younger years and giannis might overshadowed him from being the aplpha/Batman superstar of this team.
Each will have to sit so there is room to draft a SF at 14. They all playing together will be a smaller combined minutes than only two playing.
Spurs will be deep in the bakcourt the entire game and keep the pressure on all game long with no huge backcourt letdowns like they have now.
Vassell needs to be traded and doubt CP3 is going to want a much reduced role so they shouldn't bring him back, minutes won't be there for him.
People keep posting these Dylan Harper highlights not realizing that all of them have something in common...he is the de factor lead guard with the ball in his hands and has the green light to do whatever he wants.
Will he be the de facto lead guard in San Antonio with a green light to initiate offense from anywhere? Cause I could have sworn the spurs are about to pay 200 million dollars to a completely different player to do that
It's like the pro Harper people don't understand that the player you are getting will NOT be the player he was in college and has the potential to be, because lead guard opportunities will not present itself to him on the spurs with another guy on a max contract who's job will be to do everything you want Dylan Harper to do.
Like, what would Harper have looked like if he had to play a whole season at Rutgers with Tre Johnson or VJ? Not nearly as good with those guys cutting into his offense. That's what's going to happen to him on the Spurs until they get rid of either Fox or Castle.
Every pre-lotto report on Harper seemed to play the "He'll have better spacing in the NBA!" card ....
SA might actually have worse spacing than Rutgers did
POA defender and more of an off ball type player. Who knows who ends up the better catch and shoot type between the two, but he'll almost certainly be a highly volume one and overall lower usage player due to role.
I'm still of the mindset that if Sochan isn't going to start, he doesn't have a lot of value. His best value is checking the opponent's best wing or big guard, and that's mostly wasted off the bench. I also think a rare archetype like Sochan would be great with a really good coach but poor with a bad to average coach, and I'm not convinced yet about Mitch.
Fox/Castle/Harper/Sochan/Wemby isn't going to work at all. If the Spurs pick Harper and don't make any other significant moves, I would rather the Spurs let Sochan hit RFA rather than give him the 5/80-90 I had been wanting.
Good point about Castle's defense. I'm sure he would like to be the man, but taking turns on the ball with Fox and Harper while being able to conserve energy for defense will be better for the team.
This ultimately doesn’t mean a whole lot but find it illuminating that Harper, a noted ‘non-athlete’ vs. Edgecombe, ‘a noted + athlete’ is ahead in everything bar max vert…
Only pure dumb s would like edgecomb over Harper. With our FO it’s not out of the question
You do realize there are 96 of play minutes at guard. Why are you dfs so black and white.People keep posting these Dylan Harper highlights not realizing that all of them have something in common...he is the de factor lead guard with the ball in his hands and has the green light to do whatever he wants.

Pop quiz hotshot ... how many roster spots on an NBA team ? 15 regular positions and 3 two way spots for a total of 18 not 17. Facts matter on this board.
In comparison Vassell (high salary but a decent player), Fox (former all star), Castle (rookie of the year) and Harper ( best player not named Flagg) Wesley and Branham have had 3 years to develop and time has probably run out on them. Both lost minutes to Castle last season and with Harper joining the team, there just isn't room in the backcourt for them. Even if Vassell is traded, the team will most likely get a player or two back taking up a roster spot that will bump one if not two of last years guards off the team - even if we still owe them money. I don't think Mitch is loyal to either of the two especially since both players stats have trended downward for the last 3 years.
So who do you really want in the spurs backcourt, the four players with known talent and have proven themselves (lets not forget Chris Paul- if he decides to come back) or a couple of yo-yos still trying to figure things out after 3 years. The choice should be pretty simple even for a spurs genius.
If you see Wemby call him after his selection like he did Castle, it won’t happen at all. Spurs wouldn’t have him call and greet someone on the move.
That’s the bad part? Not the huge pick cost, or his $70M salary on his next contract when his athletic gifts fade and he still can’t shoot?
I wouldn’t mind Blake Wesley coming back if CP3 is gone. Acts as the backup point guard to Fox and Castle.
Gonna need a 3rd string emergency PG, and that's where Blake comes in.
Likewise, we're going to need a 3rd string emergency SG... but honestly Bran hasn't even earned that, though I'm not going to be too upset if he ends up filling that role next year. I'd rather it go to a old wiley vet who can be a mentor on the bench or an SRP with upside (Drake Powell?)
Huge fan of Fran. Has been around youth and college basketball for a long time.
I keep seeing a lot of young James Harden in this guy.
Someone else said it, but I’m also seeing Manu.
Yeah I can see that too. There physical profiles are almost identical coming out of college as well.
The one thing that I kept reading in pre-draft scouting reports for Harden was that 'the effort would sometimes come and go' and 'differs in clutch moments'.
Haven't read that yet about Harper or IIRC Cade either.
