Dylan Harper has had a very good couple of games since KOC suggested the Spurs should have taken Kon #2 overall

CorporateKnowledge5 | Spurs

56 | 14 hours ago

If I ever had any doubts Harp was our guy (I didn’t), KOC of all people saying that would have completely erased them.

Sometimes I think he’s just a masochist that likes getting yelled at for being stupid

CorporateKnowledge5 | Spurs

I might be wrong and he was never great, but I feel like he’s tried to become more of a hot take artist for clicks ever since the Ringer dropped him.

dwrek24 | Spurs

7 | 12 hours ago

I cant believe how many NBA fans and Spurs fans defending that ridiculous take.

WhoreyMatthews | Spurs

4 | 6 hours ago

Is it really that ridiculous of a take? Kon went 4th so it’s not like he’s been completely out of nowhere like Jokic or Giannis.

I think at the time Harper was clearly the pick but with hindsight you can make a good case for Kon. He’s been the best rookie over the whole season and he’d be the best shooter on the Spurs and we could definitely use more shooting.

dwrek24 | Spurs

1 | 4 hours ago

Yes its a silly take to act as if the Spurs would be at some next level this year with Kon instead of Dylan. They’re ahead of schedule in part because of Dylan also being wise beyond his years but he’s still a rookie and Kon still acts like a rookie too.

Thats the part I think is silly and was a knee jerk reaction to Kon exploding on Dallas.

Kon would also fit just fine. But Dylan has also been a really good fit because of his playmaking and finishing. Yes you add what Dylan lacks with Kon but you’re also losing what Dylans better at than Kon.

And what Dylans better at has literally help beat multiple top teams.

Kons had the better year because he has more space on a worse team. Credit to him. He’s been awesome.

If I put Dylan on a team where he had more minutes, I guarantee you he’d be just as awesome because he’s been awesome in his limited role. Kon would also be awesome in a more limited role on the Spurs. But it wouldn’t be some big change like KOC presented because the Spurs added one shooter and still dont have a 4, which is really the thing that would take them to the next level.

WhoreyMatthews | Spurs

1 | 4 hours ago

I didn’t hear the whole take but I agree with what you said.

I think both guys are good and have potential to be great and if the Spurs had Kon it would be a marginal gain at best.

Monster defensive game by Wemby and Keldon 6MOTY campaign continues!

Magic fans I really like Suggs style (giving 200% in every play) and Black has been looking great but wtf is Banes problem? He’s playing with the biggest chip on his shoulder he was instigating the whole game and barking nonsense to everyone I dont remember him like that in the past.

I really fucking hope Silver gets booted and we get someone in who actually cares about the game.

Pipe dream, I know, but still. The NBA arguably has more talent now than ever and I am worried it’s going to be wasted because Silver doesn’t want to step on a single toe.

TheCalvinator | Spurs

1 | 5 hours ago

I really fucking hope Silver gets booted and we get someone in who actually cares about the game.

Hey silver cares about the game. Well, he cares about part of it, the offensive part, that’s it. Better not go bringing none of that defense bullshit into Silvers NBA.

UncoBeefWang | Spurs

26 | 14 hours ago

Wemby’s 3 point shot has gone in the past four games but he’s doing a lot more of the “big man” stuff as of late - still could be more consistent on the offensive end.

that being said, with his sheer defensive skill, he could halve his offensive output and I’d still consider him an MVP candidate.

also… what was with all the microaggression from the Magic? I don’t think we really have that strong of a rivalry, so that shove and Bane mouthing off at the bench seems a little uncalled for.

Man I’m hoping the spurs chill out with the castle pg experiment. The offense was so fun to watch today.

Victor_Wembanyama1 | Spurs

28 | 14 hours ago

Harper’s penetration is invaluable. Castle needs to improve his shooting to round out his game.

salamanderman10

10 | 14 hours ago

Both Harper and Castle need to improve 3 point shooting but Castle is ok in the midrange (Harper was tonight). But castle is the best passer on the team

ifuckwithit | Spurs

4 | 14 hours ago

Harper has a pretty good midrange shot tbf he just doesn’t get the leash that Castle does.

topatoman_lite | Spurs

3 | 14 hours ago

Fox is the best passer on the team. Castle is good but he makes boneheaded turnover passes too often

salamanderman10

2 | 13 hours ago

Fox has never had a season with better assist rates than Castle has this season (while leading the NBA in potential assists)

topatoman_lite | Spurs

0 | 13 hours ago

Eh I’m just saying based on the eye test once he decides to pass he’s much better at doing it right

salamanderman10

2 | 3 hours ago

Fox passes as the last resort.

pwing93

2 | 14 hours ago

It hasn’t felt like the team generally has shot the ball well over the last few weeks. Honestly the way fouls were being called (and how the spurs shot from the line) I was worried it was going to be another like the loss to the Pels

wombatpup55 | Spurs

6 | 14 hours ago

Yeah he definitely needs to. I’m not so confident that he will though. Hopefully I’m wrong though

OriAr | NBA

7 | 14 hours ago

Spurs might have a very uncomfortable decision to make if Castle’s jumper is still bad next year.

I don’t feel comfortable giving him a costly extension if his jumper is still bad when it’s $$$ time next summer.

wombatpup55 | Spurs

11 | 14 hours ago

The issue is he’s actually really good when he plays his role. But for some reason the spurs want him to be more than that and I’m not confident in his ability to get there. The spurs do though and obviously they know more than me.

I’d rather focus on Harper’s development. But yeah I hope his jumper comes and I hope I’m wrong lol

dreamweaver7x | Spurs

8 | 14 hours ago

It’s Year One of this experiment with Wemby, Steph, Harp, Devin and Mitch. Steph is already the best perimeter defender on the team, and we’ve already seen that he can be one of the best in the league after that performance vs the rockets. A 6’5” wing effectively guarding KD and Sengun was ridiculously impressive.

Steph and Harp definitely need to develop their jumpers, but they’re already both formidable wings. I’d love for the team to keep both of them, they’re such unique and likeable players.

pwing93

4 | 14 hours ago

He’s still the reigning ROTY, and we missed him on defense tonight. Orlando had a few good scoring runs and it felt like it was in arms reach for them most of the game.

ifuckwithit | Spurs

1 | 14 hours ago

On offense the difference is Harper’s ability to pass. But Castle’s defense overall makes him a better player (for now). It’s a shame that we essentially need to decide who closes out between the 2 because they are both valuable in what they bring to the team. they both cannot shoot from 3 though

heat_fan_ | Raptors

16 | 14 hours ago

When do the Hornets play the Magic next? I heard Grant Williams came back recently, we could use a Batman to deal with this menace Bane.

averagejoeag | Spurs

17 | 14 hours ago

Harper is not the PG of the future. He’s the PG of now. He’s way too smart and mature to be considered a rookie still. If he starts he’s 20+ points a night.

macaulaymcgloklin | Spurs

9 | 14 hours ago

I would still like him to come off the bench and run the offense freely like Manu did.. But he still needs minutes. he’s still making rookie mistakes

dreamweaver7x | Spurs

5 | 14 hours ago

He’s an actual rook. Give him a couple of seasons. Even with Ron Harper’s genes, it takes a wing time to acclimate, and he’s gonna work on his 3-ball. But he’s already a good rotation player, a decent defender, a willing passer and he’s got the A-tier magic layup package.

BUTTFUCKER__3000 | Spurs

3 | 14 hours ago

Needs to get more comfortable passing. He did well tonight passing out of double team coverage, so that was good to see.

jakehightower | Magic

-25 | 15 hours ago

I can’t say the officiating cost us the game because Jalen, AB and Wendell had terrible games independent of that, but that was the most one-sided officiating we’ve faced all year. At one point the FT differential was like 30 to 6, with both teams having taken an equal number of 3s. Also we had 2 obvious continuations taken away, had that incredibly soft flagrant called on Bane, two obvious charges by Wemby going uncalled in the first quarter, and saw the classic “refs trying to make the differential less egregious” late in the 4th when the game was out of reach. I swear that’s even why they called Wemby for the first 10 second violation I’ve seen in years. Truly crazy to watch, the type of officiating you expect to see labeled as exhibit A in court one day.

mvhcmaniac

7 | 14 hours ago

The officiating may have been bad, but pointing at FT disparity is misguided. Most of the time it’s just because one team was fouling a lot more than the other. I only got to watch about 10 minutes of the game tonight but I saw more fouls by the Magic that didn’t get called, than I saw by the Spurs in total.

Mr_Wick18 | Magic

-13 | 14 hours ago

That’s the problem. You only got to watch 10 mins. Doesn’t matter now anyway.

The San Antonio Spurs (33-16) defeat the Orlando Magic (25-23), 112-103.
