Agreed. Hawks lose the next 3 games, lose in the play-in, and Spurs get AJ.

Crazy we lack a power forward named Boozer or Dybantsa /s

Hawks swap pick fell out the lottery so we ain’t getting lottery picks this year 😂

Sir, 5 more Frenchmen have hit the leagud

Agreed! Spurs had it rough.

Wemby and castle are sitting tonight. We are actively tanking for picks

Have them win over 30 games with an injury to wemby and gift them a number 2 pick in the 2025 draft not the 2024 draft 🧠

I love Harper…can you imagine if they had gotten Flagg?

If year 2 Dylan is somehow a starter, book him as an All-Star.

I’m always pumped for Dillion.

Good chance we get Kon if we fell a bit instead of rising. It was a great draft for us to be in the lottery, a consolation prize for Wemby’s blood clot

It’s at 36% if you include the cup final (he made ⁵⁄₇).

Some guys just need to adjust to the extra distance

We’re legitimately going to trot out some fox/vas/harp/castle/wemby lineups in the playoffs, I think.

Stop I can only get so hard

Yeah for a moment it felt like I was writing fan fiction lmao

Kessler will be MVP next year, don’t even hesitate to put your money on it.

he’s not just beating his defender off the dribble. other times, he’s straight up bodying the defender out of position too

I’ve been using him in 2k myteam and he’s honestly insane, one of the best rim runners in the game and his shot is so butter.

I’m if this dude reaches his full potential and he plays how I play him in 2k he’s 100% an all star like next year.

Dillion Harper’s on YouTube?

I did the exact same thing and watched all Dylan Harper highlights I could find.

With how promising his mid-range and 3s have looked lately, I seriously believe we are looking at the next best scoring guard in the making and we can come back to this in a couple of years but I’m thinking SGA or prime Harden with better defense. And to think we have him next to Wemby…

He legit is gonna make a max player go to the bench next year, what a stud he is

Castle is shooting 37% from 3 since the new year 👀

assuming he gets more opportunity.

he definitely will. Spurs were stoked to be getting Harper.

Okay ngl part of me was upset that Wemby has so many all-star level players because it’s going to be thrown in his face once he starts winning… but it’s kinda sick how we have all these superstars who would have, or already did (Fox), lead their own teams in the same ball club, yet Wemby is still the obvious best player, leader, and highlight of the team. Just levels to it man

You left out Carter “Kid Dynamite” Bryant

Castle looks like the next Jimmy Butler

Kornet?

I think not having that pressure has been brilliant for him to develop his game. Problem would be year 2 when he clearly would need to be on the starting 5

He’s been getting more minutes, but Spurs also blowing out teams so their 3rd units getting more minutes in games. He hit the rookie wall from too many minutes earlier on.

Not really. It’s more about minutes per games because then you get overlap with a lot of guys.

If anything off the bench would mean backups you are against stat wise, so they might be inflated a bit. Of course if you watch the games, then you’ll see he’s doing the amazing shit against lots of quality defenders.

Mitch really sticks to his rotations so far

They never would have accepted a Fox package without one of the other two

The answer was Fox.

They would never do that because that would go against how they value their relationships with players

Also Spurs would still be asked about Castle and/or Harper.

Spurs didnt wanna deal. Not worth it for a guy of Giannis age and future injury problems as he depends on athleticism

Now we’re talkin’!

Exactly, he’s looked good from the first game

Nobody has the potential to be a lot better than Shai

Because the second half is not over yet and he’s missed some games

One game happened today, two games haven’t happened yet. Maybe the numbers are post-ASG which isn’t halfway through the season?

I mean there was, it just wasn’t why I made this post lol

Granted, Kon is the greatest rookie shooter of all time, by a gigantic margin

i thought the same ! I was thinking oh damn he’s gonna be a Manu/Harden kind of player ! he was so smooth, lethal effortlessly, I knew it his 3pt shooting wouldn’t matter with this kind of play style, it was another jackpot, and now his 3 is starting a lot better beside the numbers, man it’s Tim Tony Manu version Fiesta Slam Antonio, basketball is going to be very fun in the next decade

fun fact, dylan harper outshot kon from the field, including the 3pt, when they matched up. spurs lost that game but ²⁄₃ > ¹⁄₄

Kon is a stud and should be RotY.

Tbf he’s really high up on the list as well. Two unbelievable rookies, and they’re not the only ones either. This class was stacked.

I’m a diehard Spurs fan and he should not be rookie of the year. He’s amazing and one of the best finishers at the rim, but he’s started less than 5 games this season. What Cooper and Kon are doing as starters far outweighs what Dylan Harper is doing off the bench.

As time moves on, he is going to prove invaluable as a guard. His size, shiftiness, handle, and paint finishing are amazing, but just based on this year, it wouldn’t make any sense for him to win that award.

I’m a Spurs fan and I love him but no he shouldn’t be rookie of the year. It’s not his fault and I believe he could have won it if he were drafted elsewhere but he just doesn’t have the minutes.

ROTY isn’t based on hypotheticals

I say this as a Spurs fan: Dylan Harper absolutely should not be ROTY, and the award SHOULD be about what you’re doing now. It’s a one year, present-tense award and should stay that way (just like all of the official NBA awards should be).
