Basically anyone but ACE

Have you ever heard of the expression "Nobody knows anything"? Because that tweet means absolutely nothing unless you're projecting your own personal wants into it.

Fultz problem wasn;t that he was a bad shooter...it was the HE DIDN'T SHOOT AT ALL.
Harper being around the NBA his whole life also gives him a leg up on mr Imma shoot with a medicine ball.

He should have just kept his original form and been a point guard version of DeRozan. He was a good 3pt shooter in college, but he didn't shoot a ton of them. His FT% was also an indicator that his outside shooting was likely going to struggle which is why he tried to adjust his form. Either that or he fell off his motorbike.

Also his mom was overbearing if I remember correctly which was adding to the headcase part of the equation.

Team was stacked even without Flagg.

So why was it specifically Kneuppel who raised his game on such a stacked team and not somebody else? His teammates were on a stacked team too, were they not?

[Negrodamus]

I dont think Harper distribution skills are that good, he only had 4 APG. You can argue that his team was crap, but so was Fultz´s and he had like 6 APG in Washington. I think he´s more of a combo guard...

well yeah, we was passing 3 horrible dudes plus Ace

We cant use the "crap team" excuse for Ace, so we cant use either for Harper.

You can certainly use it, but I wouldn't built my entire case for drafting Harper around it.

Also, apg is meaningless without context. DeAaron Fox averaged 4.6 apg, does that make him a combo guard? Brunson had the same in his final year at Villanova. Dejounte Murray with 4.4. Steph's first two years he had 2.9 apg.

AST% means more to me and as long as it's above a certain threshold, I don't really ding guys too much if they're not a 30+ AST%.

I don’t know, maybe because he’s better than them?

I could see why the Spurs would at least consider moving down from or out of #2...

I watched all 104 of Dylan Harper’s misses at Rutgers and 24 of his misses either hit the backboard, air-balled or were blocked, while nearly one-third sprayed left or right.

On catch-and-shoot attempts, 22.2% of his misses went left and 19.4% went right.

Harper is undoubtedly a high-level prospect because of his ferocious downhill attacking, playmaking ability, and potential defensive versatility. But concerns over his shooting do raise questions about the fit next to Stephon Castle and De'Aaron Fox when trying to build the ideal roster around Victor Wembanyama.

- Kevin O’Connor (or text message sent to KOC from Morey)

76ers got two combo sgs Maxey,mccain and 3 and D Grimes as a wing. Harper style fits right in.

We're officially in smokescreen season and I hate it here. Rip Dumars or stick and pick please dork Elvis.

Well, since Ace is now 4th or 6th on a lot of boards, trading down would be to get him while gaining assets.

Since Tre is now at 3, I guess it's anyone but Tre.

[Negrodamus]

Harper is the better prospect.... but there are some things I like better about Edgecombe.

[ProcessDoctor]

**** now I'm getting my hopes up for Harper. I truly believe in him as an offensive engine and future 1A on a championship team. He fits our other guards like hand-in-glove, and would actually give us the flexibility to run some 3-guard lineups (likely still not with Maxey + McCain though).

Trading up for him, while not breaking the bank, and moving off Embiid would be the ideal offseason.

Who is this nerd? There is two bigtime prospects Cooper and Harper. 76ers doing due diligence and will happily take Ace or say Johnson. What happens if those two players fit Spurs better than Harper maybe make a deal with Spurs to move up a spot ??? What u want nerd for us to move down for Knipple?? Lol talking to myself ...

KOC has us trading the 3rd and Oubre for Herb Jones, 8th pick (Maluach) and 2026 Pacers 1st

KOC is so obsessed with Maluach in Philadelphia

He must have the worst track record of all these draft guys.

While I'm not a huge fan of VJ's game, I do trust his intangibles more than Bailey and others in this class. I see him being a grinder, a driven athlete who works on his craft. Seems like a really grounded individual.

Damn can Bailey have a chance.... Also, I think VJ Butler is getting too much hype now..

Morey has a job waiting for him in San Antonio, if he does this.

Does what?

If he trades a future first to move up one pick.

Totally fine if that pick turns into a D-wade lvl player and the next best is just a Chris Bosh level.

[FireMorey]

Neubeck says Sixers unlikely to trade down. Either stick and pick or move up to 2. And if they move down, it likely won't be past 4.
