Not often mentioned, but Dylan Harper has been underwhelming. His jumper looks flat, his handle with the off hand is shaky, and he lacks the burst to consistently beat defenders in the halfcourt.

I also think he needs to play his high usage style, which he likely won’t get with the Spurs given their “developmental runway” approach. That said, he clearly has the combination of size and skill to be a special talent at the guard position, but he’ll need the right opportunity, roster set-up and continued development to reach that ceiling.

He's like a year younger than Edgecombe

What does Edgecombe have to do with his post? I'm confused. Was something edited?

A 76ers fan was saying the pick ahead of his guy was underwhelming.

Jase Richardson has looked far more impressive than Fears and Egor Demin, both of whom were drafted ahead of him but have underperformed.

Flagg, Johnson and then the field. Edgecombe is a great prospect but I think his offense isn’t there yet. Harper is behind Wemby, Fox and you also have Castle. Plus Harper won’t be the best off-ball player for that team. Fears will likely put up numbers but on dreadful efficiency.

Seems like none of the Euro PG's seems worth the hype right now. Feels bad for the Nets who drafted 3 of them lol

Based on what? Summer league?

Feel free to see Franz Wagner summer league stats.

Even though I don't put much stock into summer league, Edgecombo is exciting to watch reminds me of a more athletic Jimmy.
