Harper is gonna be a star
Do you want to draft an apple or an orange.
Both are awesome fruits. You can only have one. So you go with an apple. But you could have gone with an orange.
Sometimes there is no right or wrong choice. You got the fruit that you wanted and you move on. But hey you picked a hell of an apple that you were lucky to get.
But yeah the orange is also a good fruit.
I have several KOC tweets bookmarked for later.
Kon’s a great bucket and a great story, he was defs overshadowed by Cooper and probs why most people had him at 5/6 in the draft
Still take Harper any day of the week, no doubt in my mind if Harper was playing 32min a night like Kon is he’d be absolutely balling out too
Talk to me in 5 years
I came away more impressed with Carter Bryant.
I’d definitely still take Harper. Kon is good but Harper has so much game for a rookie and he still has lots of physical development to go. Once he gets a bit stronger he’s gonna be a serious problem for the league
Harper is gonna be good but Kon on this team would be insane
I miss Bill and Ryen being on the same show so much
Harper has grown on me so much..the way he finishes around the rim truly reminds me of kyrie
I’ll zag where everyone else zigs. Hindsight is 20/20 but I’d take Kon. He would fit our team so well with his current skillset.
But at the same time, I love Dylan Harper and there’s no regrets. Truth is sometimes we are wrong and that’s OK. Happy for Kon and hope he flourishes, and I really do expect Dylan to be just as good if not even better given 2 years.
That is, Kon would make us title contenders right now. Either Kon or Dylan are likely to make us title contenders in 2028
In a lot of drafts, Harper goes 1, if Cooper isn’t there. But yeah either pick isn’t bad. kon’s numbers would be lower on Spurs too. Both are great pick ups and both teams are def happy

His decision making is his best trait
