DYLAN HARPER IS ABSOLUTELY LUDICROUS!
be some stuff that’s going to make you say woo na na na na. You when you really think about it, that song kind of sucks. All right, Dylan Harper. Some more Dylan Harper. Okay, I am on my Dylan Harper agenda here. Um, so here’s some physical comps. All right, so a lot of people have said he’s too small. I don’t really know why people have been saying that. Um, but he is a very strong player. So, I don’t know why people keep saying that, but they’re like, “He’s too tiny. He’s too small. We’ve got too many guards.” Even though we all will agree that two of our guards could be expendable. Uh, Chris Paul is probably going to be gone. At that point, you have Fox and Castle. And I think that what it comes down to really is fans have become so close to Castle that they can’t imagine a world in which you get rid of Steph Castle, which I completely agree. Don’t get rid of Steph Castle, but you don’t have to. Okay, I think people are creating this uh uh false sense that you can only have one or the other. That’s not true in modern NBA. Okay, 2025 you can have a multiple guards and be very successful. You still need a small fort. You still need a backup center, but come on. Right. Like come on. Uh Steph and Steph can stay. You don’t have to get rid of Steph just to get Dylan. There’s there’s no Yeah. Um, anyways, with that being said, it says Dylan Harper has uh inviable uh measurements to play either guard spot. Drawing comparisons from our historical database to D. Wade with his size, sturdy frame, and huge wingspan, he could easily play alongside De’Aran Fox and Steph Castle in the same backcourt, which I definitely agree, which we’re probably not going to see a ton of that though. He’s going to get minutes being a second over our pick, but I don’t know if we’ll see a ton of that with them all to together, but it’ll be it’ll be nice. It’ll be nasty. Um, so as you can see here, uh, taller than DWade. See, this one has 65. Okay, this might be shoes cuz I say 66. That’s super close to 66. All right, so basically 66 to Dwayne Wade, 6’5. Um, two years younger than Wade. Um, so maybe he still has some growing to do. I don’t know. Uh, same weight basically about the same wingspan. Stand and reach the exact same. Oh, unless the heights are with shoes. Okay. So, yeah. So, pretty pretty nice, man. Pretty nice. And I don’t think D.Wade has ever been accused of being too small. So, there’s that. Um, also this is kind of cool. So, from my understanding, so here are some combine score values. Okay. So, Dylan Harper scored a combine score of 93.2. Um, from my understanding, and chat, you can correct me if I’m wrong. Okay. And in YouTube, later on, if you guys see this, you can correct me if I’m wrong. This is what this is what I heard. Okay. Um, oh, actually, it is on here. I’m pretty Oh, no. No, it’s not. No, it’s not. No, it’s not. No, it’s not. Yeah, I’m I’m not I’m not quite sure. All right. So, from my understanding, this is the highest combine score amongst point guards, I believe, right? Amongst all the the drills uh that he’s done. So, highest amongst point guards, but then the second one here, they said as a shooting guard. So, this these are his his stats as a shooting guard. And amongst shooting guards, I think he was fifth. I’m pretty sure that’s what happened, right? I think he’s number one amongst point guards and fifth amongst shooting guards. If I’m thinking of a different stat, please someone correct me and please check the comments, you know, because, you know, we do this we do this live, but this was my understanding when I when I looked into it, but that could be it could be a different stat. But I think this is it. So, he’s fifth amongst shooting guards, first among amongst point guards. Now, if that has to do with something else, please let us know. But I think that’s true. Regardless, any statistical category in which you’re first amongst point guards and you’re fifth amongst shooting guards is insane. You’re just one of the best. Period. Insane. Easy. Second round overall pick. Easy. Easy. Um, and also this post, which I was like, what? It’s kind of cool. Dylan Harper’s field goal percentage at the rim is like a big man. Here is the list of freshman who averaged 17 plus points per game and shot 70% plus on close twos. Zion Williamson, Marvin Bley, Begley, sorry. Uh, DeAndre Aton, Dylan Harper, Ben Simmons, Joel Okafor. Oh, you guys can’t see. Hold on. Sorry. Hold on. It would be much more impactful if you actually see it. He’s a guard. And these are the players that score 17 plus points per game with a 70% close to shot. Bagley. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry, guys. 40%. 40% what? So untrue Harper till he’s ready to take over. That makes more sense. Begley is Bagley. I guess I’ve always said Bagley. Begley. Yeah, Baggley. Sorry. Dylan Harper is the scoot of this draft. Scoot. Oh, Scoot Henderson. I mean, sure, but uh Cooper flag isn’t as good as Wimby. It’s not as big of a drop off from Wimby to Cooper. I mean, um to Scoot Henderson. Um but he has he has more size than Scoot. I think he’s going to be better than Scoot. No one’s trading Flag. Well, let’s not worry about Flag, guys. We’re worried about our pick. Okay, this is our player Cooper FL. That that’s that’s old news. Okay, we don’t care about Cooper. We were s Keep in mind, guys, we were sitting at eight. Okay, we weren’t supposed to be here. We weren’t supposed to have this opportunity. We didn’t even think about uh any player that’s second or we didn’t really think about it. I did mention many times that you could move up because many teams over the past few years have moved up. That’s around that seven to nine span. And I was like, it could be us because someone’s going to move up. It happens. It’s been happening since like 2019. We’ve seen it. Um, so yeah, it just so happened to be us. I didn’t think about Harper, honestly. Honestly, dude, go go go look up some Harper footage. He’s ridiculous. But yeah, those are just some few things. All right, just kind of continuing the Dylan Harper agenda, right? Uh let’s see. It was something else that I wanted to show, but maybe that was the main thing. Um here, screw it. Let’s take a look at what some Spurs fans had to say. So, I posted it. Um, you know, I had to post the Shannon to go with it. Boy, yes. That’s my reaction when I saw that. When I saw that 70% boy, yes, you love to see it. Um, let’s see what some Spurs fans had to say. So, this is under my post. Heck yeah. Somebody posted Tony Parker. Tony Parker was a monster finish at the rim, by the way. Um, I will say this. I don’t think I don’t think he’s as quick as Parker. I mean, I I I don’t think he’s as quick as Parker. I don’t know that for sure, though. But I don’t think he is. Uh Parker was so speedy. But Parker also had to be because he’s shorter. He was smaller than uh than our boy Yeah, Shannon Sharp. Uh 70% what? 70% around the rim. Shooting around the rim. And then they said it’s similar to big man. So other rookies that had 70% with 17 plus points per game. Rion, uh Marvin Bagley, sorry guys, DeAndre Aiden and yeah, you see Dylan Harper obviously. Uh Ben Simmons jailer. So kind of ridiculous. Uh let’s see. That that wasn’t the point. Come on. Can we be this up to list the bust and Zion and I’m supposed to be impressed? Come on. You guys get the point that’s being made, right? The fact that he did this as a guard. Come on. Why y’all want another guard? I I just I How long we’ve been live? I’ve been live an hour and 20 minutes and I feel like every five minutes I brought up why getting Dylan Harper is a good idea. And I even brought up the whole we have too many guards argument, which I don’t even understand because at one point we had five guards on the team that we all thought would get minutes and people still wanted Dillingham. Now there’s four and two of which especially under uh Miss Johnson are probably expendable and now we don’t want any more guards. People got so excited. It’s just a matter of like recency bias. Like because we have a rookie of the year that is a very good guard, we think that, you know, no other team has guards on their team, very talented guards on the team. Look around the league. Pay attention. Don’t don’t worry so much about like the the the position of some of these. Yes, we need a small forward. Obviously, obviously we need a small forward. We need a backup center. Okay, those are things that we need. We’re going to get it. But number two, you get the best player available. He happened to be a guard. A really great one. A really great one, man. It’ll be the same thing, bro. We’ll get him and then they’ll say, “We don’t need any more of this and we don’t need any more of that. We’ll get a backup center and maybe we need one more big man.” They’re like, “We don’t need that. We have too many.” It’s like, what? You creating problems where there aren’t any. Um, anyways, yeah, Ben Sim. Dang, this is this is negative. I don’t think anyone on the list stands out to be honest. They are missing the point. Did someone at least respond and say that’s not the point? The names on that list is a clear indication of this stat translating to the NBA success. Um, then you clearly don’t want then you clearly don’t watch the Pelicans play. uh that company turned out to be Oh my god, they are not understanding. They are not understanding. He’s not just a finisher around the rim, okay? He’s a very high basketball IQ player. All I’m saying or all I was trying to show is that the fact that this guard is in the the the same category. He does a lot of things, right? But he’s in the category of a lot of players that primary thing is just shooting around the rim. That’s impressive. It’s impressive for you to have such a high percentage around the rim and you do so many other things that some of these other players don’t do. Like it that’s imp. And they’re and they’re big men. They should be having pretty high percentages around the room. Yeah. I don’t know. Just people don’t care, I guess. Nah. Oh, Nuggets lost. Ah, dang it.

70% near the rim is insane considering he barely dunks the ball 😤
Am I the only one that sees a little bit of Jamal Murray in Dylan Harper? I don’t know what it is I think it might be some of his post footwork that reminds me of Jamal but I feel like I’m the only one that sees that
If spurs actually draft, Ace Bailey is a better pick and he shoots better and is athletic and he is Almost 6’8 barefoot
We want the best available player. Even if it's a guard. He could possibly be a trade chip next year. See how attached folks are to Castle? What if Harper is as good or better and one of the two could net you something you really need later down the road. But you have to give up one or the other.
I agree with you 100% Clan. I tell everyone the same thing. We keep our # 2 in Dylan Harper.
Spurs nation were in for a wild ride next season
If we get Harper and Fleming, I will be very happy!
Y'all see this? Giannis workout with Harper and Bailey. Harper does not even look that small even next to Giannis.

At 4:23 Clan said "Easy second round overall pick" instead of "Easy second overall pick." Don't forget about sleep.
Clan I don’t trust the Dylan Harper hype but if we pick him I hope he becomes great
We DID have to many guards like 5 years ago I guess people aren’t paying attention to this team that say that.
Trust the spurs. I'm pretty sure they know how talented Harper is and how fortunate we are to be at the number 2. this high on the board along with Harper ceiling and just clear overall best talent outside of Flagg I don't see the Spurs acting rash and passing up a franchise guy.
yes, we need wing depth bad, but the spurs can get that in the offseason or through a trade. A player like Harper don't come around a lot. this is a good problem to have. 3 legit guards obviously Harper will come off the bench. providing a big boost for the second unit. Spurs will be deep. With a lot of different completive rotations.
Once you agreed he is Scoot Im OUT 😂
Make way for another Primo Clan and the Spurs loved him too 😂
Trade Fox or Vassell? Fox is oldest guard. Maybe Castle can play small forward too?
Gimme Harper at 2 and Queen at 14 and we lookin good
Look at Boston lots of guards
You have have multiple guards if they can shoot and non of SA's can shoot at all.
Getting rid of Castle for Giannis is giving losing SGA for Paul George vibes
4:22 Clan so now you say he should be going in the second round instead?! 🤔🤦🏻♂️😱🤪
Ima be fr I’m not that hot on him, he’s not serious you look at interviews of him the difference of mindset between Stephon castle and wemby and this child is light years. He’s a fun kid but we’re ready to go now
Standing vert 30.5? That sounds… low? I know he's not an elite athlete, but that seems below average for the position. Maybe I'm wrong.
edit: yup, 59% percentile. He's a B- or C level vertical athlete, who's best trait is finishing and is an average shooter. I don't know, I just don't like the mix of traits. He plays below the rim and the total package feels pretty average when you put it against NBA talent.
Don't get me wrong, he's probably the second best player in the draft, but I'm not in love with his game.
Highest paid player, #4 Pick and now #2 pick all at the same positions with 2 of 3 having the same skill set and limitaions…with actual holes in the starting line up. It is cool that he is great. Doesn't mean the Spurs shouldn't turn hime into pieces that actually fit what they need to build.
does he remind us of manu?
LOOK AT OKC DUH SGA, JWILL, LU DORT, CASON Wallace, Caruso
The Spurs should definitely keep Wemby, Stephon Castle, Aaron Fox, Barnes, and especially take Harper for the second pick. Dylan Harper. He can replace the very mediocre options we currently have: Vaissel, Johnson, Champagny, and all the rest. This guy will soon be as strong and lethal as Oklahoma City Thunder' SGA or New York Nicks' Brunson. But he wants him to stick with Stephon Castle, as a left-handed guard. Fox and Paul at point guard (Cris Paul, assistant coach?). Cris Paul should be retained, especially for the transfer of his fabulous skills to these two young guards, to further refine their games. And then focus with the rest and pick 14 on strengthening the defense, to obtain a true backup for Wemby. As much as possible, strategically replenish the stock of pick rights over the next two years (lottery picks)! Recruiting big players, like Giannis or KD, will break this budding alchemy. "Patience and length of time do more than strength and rage."
I feel like there would be no debate around Harper if Cooper was off-the-table and we had the first pick
SNL literally did a bit like two weeks ago about D Wade being small.
It’s as simple as replacing Paul with Harper. I hate how dumb so many fans are.
D wade is 6' 3.75" with no shoes
Just look at okc starting line up 3 guards
I hope spurs pick Dylan Harper because is a Half-Filipino from Bataan and Half-American and better than Kai Sotto. Spurs will have a many Filipino fans . Sochan that they snub last week in one of the court here the Philippines next season he will be famous in the Philippines because of Harper, Wemby and other players in the line up that will break in the Playoffs next season!!
Stop comparing scoot to Dylan. Scoot wasn’t even the 2nd pick! He’s 3rd behind Brandon miller.😂
“Why you want a guard?” – bro it’s not even about the position. Use your brain for godsake. Just pick the best no matter what!! It’s annoying fans
So do y'all think Dylan can Start alongside Fox and Castle cuz Castle has to start regardless IDC IDC frfr
PG Harper/ Paul
SG Fox/ Vessel
SF Castle/ Keldon
PF Barnes/Sochan
C Wemby/ Bassett
I hope castle grow like 6'8 6'9 so he can play SF a 2 way player then harper pg, fox Sg deym
Have to take him.
