Dylan Harper IMPRESSES At Combine!
You know what? I’m going to piggyback off of that. Okay, so Chase just put Harper shot 39% from three on catch and shoot threes for the Ruckers. As I said, guys, he’s more than just cuz people tried to tell me that he’s on ball dominant player. Don’t really know where that came from. Um, that is not my assessment of Dylan Harper whatsoever. I feel like he’s similar in Steph Castle as he’s similar to Steph Castle as to say he can do multiple things, right? he can be an offball player and he’s effective at that as well. Um he doesn’t play anything like Steph. Um I know some people said it’s so disrespectful for because people in the chat were like he’s better than Steph Castle right now and people were like that’s so disrespectful. This a rookie of the year guys. Everybody has somebody that’s better than than somebody else, right? Everyone has someone that’s better than them, right? That’s what I meant to say. I don’t know what that word salad was. Everyone has that except for Wimby. If you’re Wimi, then you’re just the best ever who ever lived. Um, but Harper is better than Castle. Doesn’t mean, oh, this is our new toy. Screw C. Castle is super effective. He’s awesome. He’s a rookie of the year. He’s the man. He’s dope. I still think that he could be a star in the NBA. Harper is better. I I I don’t know. I don’t know. It’s it’s it’s that Yeah, it’s just the truth. It’s just the truth. Um, but here is Hold on. Let me try to make sure it’s not too loud. So, here’s just some footage that came out of his shooting. It wasn’t uh the best, but I want you to pay more attention to his form than anything else. Okay. I also like the fact that he’s left-handed because Ginobi, but I also like the fact that he’s left-handed because Dearon Fox kind of difficult to guard left-hand hand ball handlers. The lefthanded ball handlers, I think that’s what I meant to say. But yeah, look at his form. He bricked that like so hand. He switched that like Wimby. He switched that one like Wimby. I’mma turn down a little bit more. Good job. You can see the whole thing. Another thing that’s funny is more than likely he’ll wear number two, right? We’ve been kind of waiting for that. Like who will be the person I got I got a question for you chat and I got a question for YouTube as well as we’re watching this. Um, w will they retire Kawawaii’s jersey? I don’t think they will, but we are a master class. We are a master class. I wish they showed more of it. Why’ they stop it? But yeah, as you can see, his form is very pretty. I think that maybe he can look, I’m I’m not an expert here, right? I’m not an expert here, and he’s shown it even in games with with Ruckers. Um, but he might need a little bit more arc on the on the shot because he’s he’s six he’s 6’4 and a half but 66 uh with shoes. Um, but he does create enough space and he’s crafty enough and shifty enough where it might not matter as much. But I do think that he might need a little bit more arc on it, but it looks nice. He looks comfortable. Yeah, he’s known to shoot flat. Oh, okay. Okay. Okay. All right. All right. Okay. Yeah. So, my assessment there wasn’t too too crazy, huh? Yeah, that’s my main thing. It’s okay, bro. You can say one height. I’m just going to say 66. Yeah, I’m just going to say 66. Why not, bro? All right. So, that’s his shooting. And we can see his pro lane agility. Let me see here. Also, some combine footage. I know that’s loud. might as well be so slow. By the way, he is a good defender. Okay, not an elite, but this is the one thing that’s cool about him, right? He is basically above average in everything and elite in a couple things, right? I would say that um feel for the game would be elite level and I would say scoring would be elite level, right? And then I would say everything else is like above average and you can weigh that however you want to weigh it. Uh but he he’s he’s really impressive, y’all. Elite scoring. Yeah, I would say elite scoring and I would say elite feel for the game. Would you agree with elite field for the game? Is he better than Joshua Primo, though? I think I think he might be better than Joshua Primo. I think I actually do think that he might be better than Joshua Primo. Elite uh feel for the game. Yes. Okay. That’s That’s how I feel. That’s how I feel about him. That’s how I feel about no one. Everyone in the chat that are like huge fans of his that watched him all the way throughout uh the the season seems to agree with some of the stuff I’m saying. If there’s anything that I say chat and you’re like, “No, you’re a little off on that. This this is what I’ve seen.” I Hey, I’ll I’ll listen to you. Um but from right for from my understanding, from what I’ve been paying attention to, there’s no way around not grabbing him. Like he is really good. He said Bailey isn’t a spur. Bailey don’t pass. Uh Bailey would definitely be a little bit of a project, but personalitywise, this this dude’s a spur, y’all. He’s a spur. And we just heard um Brian Wright say that they want to pick the best player available who also uh mirrors I mean, he didn’t say this exactly, I’m kind of paraphrasing, but mirrors, you know, San Antonio Spurs isms, right? Like uh good character type guy and just kind of chill. Ace Bailey has good character. I I have nothing to assume that he doesn’t. It’s just I think that this guy right here takes the game way more serious. You’re thinking Coupe Cooper Flack. N Bailey is the guy. I don’t think so, man. I I think this I think this player is I think there’s a I think there’s a sizable enough gap that you take Dylan Harper. Like a pretty nice sizable gap. genuinely, dude. Um, but yeah, so that’s some footage. That’s some footage. Let me see what cuz it is nice to see what uh people have to say about it, you know, because a lot of people that aren’t just Spurs fans. Here we go. Okay. Okay. So, yeah, that’s what I was saying. Wow, that’s a low release. Yeah, that he’s going to have to um It’s just one of those things where will it matter? You know, we don’t really know if it’ll matter or not. We know in Kie she’s able to create quite a bit of space. So yeah, let’s see here. How about the center from Duke? Uh where would he land? Uh let’s see. Uh let’s see. Don’t any of these guys have a jump shot nowadays? Weird. What is he talking about? I think that’s good form. Definitely doesn’t inspire confidence that he’ll be able to shoot in the NBA. I don’t know. Look, he shot 34% uh in college. It’ll have to improve, but let’s not worry about it too much. I I think we get so h that’s one thing that’s really bo that really bothers me. We got to talk about some other stuff, too. But he’s like one of the best finishers in college hoops, finishers around the rim. Everybody is so hung up on how many halfcourt shots you can shoot. It’s so frustrating. Not everyone is Steph Curry, right? But it’ll get he’ll get to that point. He’ll get better. He’ll get better. Yeah. He wants a poll. All right. What’s What’s the poll? We’ll we’ll end the segment for

We should retire kawhis jersey. One of the best of all time while he was with us.
I think they will keep Harper , they will trade castle for sure because Harper have more upside then castle
I don't like the "Harper is better than Castle" argument. How can anyone say that when he hasn't played a single game in the league? Only argument I could get behind is saying he's better than Castle in college.
Sell the #2 pick stick wit castle
We shouldn't retire Kawhi jersey until Kawhi apologizes to the fans and the city of SA and fully explains what happened. I hope Harper takes the 2 and clears all that bad from the number.
Harper Wemby Castle together will be fun to watch
Harper is a better floor general than castle
I’m curious if ace and Harper are 2 and 3 locks why didn’t they even make the ncaa tournament that should alarm us spurs fans somewhat ??
Harper can play off-ball, for sure. He didn't get much of a chance to show it at Rutgers because he was pretty much their entire offense, save Ace making a tough shot or two.
Dylan Harper is a better offensive talent than Stephon Castle with maybe more potential in this area. Castle is the better overall player right now than him. Way more Versatile and defensively better than Dylan. And With that one year experience in the Nba, He's way more advanced. I know you might start feeling a certain way about Harper but slow down a little please.
Yea sure reture Kawhi.. then DeJuante and Stephen Jackson while youre at it
Plz don’t wear #2 that number is cursed
We're not trading for Giannis, we're drafting Harper, we're getting good guys from FA.
Release is super low. Needs to end up above his head at the next level. Right now hand ends up at forehead level
This guy is a BUST
Harper off the bench would be deadly af😩 no way im starting him over fox or castle.
As a San Antonian f*** NO we ain't retiring Kawhis jersey
The pressure we’re going to be able to put on the rim is going to be nasty Fox, Castle, and Harper can get to the rim at will. You have to imagine this will open up wide open 3’s or lobs for Wemby.
I think it’s a great pick. Then get a center at 14?
just like how easy it was to fix castle's shot which was just to gather the ball cleaner, harper is also easy, he just needs to raise his elbow. Currently he shoots better when he jumps higher on his shot because he doesn't raise his elbow, but a solid NBA defender will notice how obvious it is when he's going to shoot and easily contest the flat shot. If he starts to raise his elbow he won't need to jump as high which will give him a better-balanced foundation (likely the reason you see so many shots hit the side of the rim).
That'll be funny af if they retire Cry Leonard's jersey and no one shows up
Better then Castle so do I hear 3 years in a row ROY award
We can retire kawhi jersey if he comes back and contributes to winning one more ring.
He got no hops and sprints like napoleon dynomite…
You should elaborate on why you think Harper is better than Castle now. I couldn't think of a bigger, more divisive opinion for the Spurs fan base than this at the moment at least.
Clan 🏀 What say you re: Using both first round picks BUT swapping Devin Vassel & 38th pick for needed forward Cam Johnson? 🤔 He's Spursy and Mitch Wright/Brian Johnson could toss in excess Malaki or Blake if need be. 😉
Crazy talk! He is a better college prospect than castle but you can’t say he is better than castle at this time. Castle has proven he can ball in his first year in the NBA. Harper still has to prove that.
Get Harper we still need a bench, and age is not an issue Parker and manu was 5 diff
Draft Harper and now Imagine Vassel as the 6th man spurs would so deadly we’d be so deep
I think Pop wants to retire the number 2
Harper is not made a basket in the NBA, therefore he can't be better than Castle, at least not yet 😊
Harper is a solid prospect, wouldn’t be made if we stayed put and drafted him. To all of those who still tarnish kawhi and say to not retire his jersey, get over yourselves. We don’t make any finals without him, let alone win. A blunder manu foul/missed calls against okc, and a zaza on purpose foul away from calling him a 3 time champ here. He done more good for us than bad, and with his injury history he actually did San Antonio a favor. I won’t be surprised if does or doesn’t get jersey retired here, but from what he has done he is deserving of it.
Anyone claiming Castle is the more untouchable asset, quick question: what seasons does Castle have a real shot at Rookie of the Year? He got this past one after the runaway favorite, Jared McCain, went down with an injury. But apart from that, where is he even in the running? He went fourth in a historically weak draft for a reason. Harper goes first in a lot of years
Castle is being pretty massively overrated due to circumstance, and still has some pretty alarming limitations in his game. He's athletic, strong, and can pass, but everything else is not NBA-caliber yet. I'd frankly be shocked if Harper had a worse rookie season than Castle did
KWAHI WILL COME BACK
Offensively better than Castle, defensively not as good as Castle
Remember, Fox is a steals leader and can score in bunches. Right now, he is the second best player on the team
I hope they trade fox for a few 1st round picks from charlotte or washington lol
I would be ecstatic if Harper took the number 2 on his jersey
His release is way too low for the NBA, he puts the ball on his face and shoots it…
Harper is clearly a no brainer. Now, that being said, I trust now the FO to do the right choice. Wright prove me wrong last year so as up from last year I trust them.
I’m tired of yall overrating Harper.
He isn’t better then castle yall forget castle started averaging 20 last 10 games or so
