2027 6th Man of the Year
Better than the flop king SGA because he did those shots with pure talents. He plays fairly.
well, he did a double dribble AND traveling in the first highlight shown here, but whatever.
Thank you so much for sharing the Morgan&Morgan initiative. You're such a brillant and kind mind. Great to share those values above basketball man.
9:12 does he still have a face/neck? Holy cow, what a foul…
The Spurs are stacked
Love Harper. Two way skill, incredibly smart, great feel, and the ability to finish will make him a highlight reel. However, but no one talks about the "masterful" tank job the Spurs have done. They tanked to get Wemby (ROY). They tanked to get Castle(ROY). They tanked to get Harper. No other team has had three top 4 picks in consecutive years.
Yall forgot who his dad is
pls harper learn to land properly and not on one foot
If the Spurs can keep the core of Castle, Harper, Vassel, Champagnie and Wemby together. They will be contenders for many years to come 😀👍
Harper’s defense and confidence prove he’s built for NBA longevity.
Trade Fox a young shooting Big who can rebound. Spurs dynasty for the next 10 years!
Uy Pilipins!
He is impressive, and it's kind of a subtle or low key greatness already. It's the poise so young though that is so interesting.
Manu as a comparison is so apt. Harper doesn't score many points but each bucket he makes is high impact, especially that dagger 3 today.. He feels like a Harden now on the old OKC. He'll dominate with his own team in future. I find his layup package quite Zion like, but this dude can do it both hands it's too good.
💎 Great Stuff
Dylan was drafted to a team that was already on the rise, making it challenging to fully assess his potential amidst the presence of other exceptional players. Despite this, he demonstrated flashes of brilliance throughout the season and playoffs. It’s important to recognize that when you have the number one shot blocker dominating the paint, you can take risks on defense. You can be more physical and slightly overaggressive, not worrying about your opponent beating you to the basket because you have Wemby control over the paint.
I'm most impressed by his handles, he had some nasty combos to create shots against the thunder.
Dylan plays like he is controlling himself in 2k.
Harper is what I imagine Luka’s defense would be like if he gave a fuck
He's tremendous, but the tag line 'unteachable skills' is nuts – his dad played 15 seasons in the NBA, and won FIVE rings. His mom was a college hooper, coached high school basketball, and directly coached him. He followed his brother to Rutgers, where both of them ultimately left to join the league. His skills are a direct result of a lifetime of teaching, and mentorship, married to the genetic lottery of athletic ability he's got, all working together to prepare him for the one job he's doing, where he happened to get drafted by the best franchise in the modern NBA, next to a potential hall of famer on the court, under the guidance of an organization loaded with hall of famers (most of whom he already knew, bc he grew up around NBA legends). The kid is a testament to teaching, to opportunity, and to what a support structure can allow someone to accomplish with it.
Seriously who wouldn’t want to go to the spurs
He can definitely carry a team and be a main star.
Highest bbiq I have ever seen from a rookie.
Cooper Flagg higher floor, Harper higher ceiling. He could be D Wade but better defensively
He went right at Cooper Flag first game of the season.
Love his game. My favorite player right now.
I hope Dylan chooses Legacy this is a dynasty ! 💯
So much of NBA is effort (or lack of effort) on defence. So much talent is just lazy
everyone keeps forgetting Dylan's dad is a 5x champ, played with jordan.his brothers in hte laeague. growing up in that competitive environement not even close to rookie brain.
Yeah I been watching him and thinking he’s doing that as a rookie? The sky is really the limit for him.
Harper is him!
🔥🔥🔥
higher on dylan harper than cooper flagg? are you smoking crack dude?
He's doing really good stuff, as a rookie, in the playoffs, in the clutch. That's exciting
Not comparing them. But seeing Dylan play good. I wonder how’d VJ would do in the spurs system but thinking about it. Dyl is more of a pure point than vj
Boy that's Manu Ginobili wit a 40 inch vertical😭
Spurs has another 2 future all stars.. Castle and Harper
