This Harper/Castle guard duo for SA gonna be nasty
Dylan Harper is disgustingly good. If he played on a team who didn't have any or only 1 ball dominant guard he'd be putting up an efficient 20 10 and 5.

Fox is balling but 100% at some point a conversation has to be had Harper is already to good to be coming off the bench only getting 20 something minutes a game.

Dude is already what Cade was going into his 3rd year right now. It's unfair to have a guard this good coming off the bench. It's legit having a future all nba guard coming off the bench. Fox goes to sit down and you basically get Fox coming in off the bench to replace Fox. It's basically Fox playing for 48 minutes.

I'm not so sure that Cooper Flag is better than Dylan Harper. Not so sure Harper shouldn't have been number 1. His numbers are actually up since he came back and Victor been hurt.

How the hell the Celtics let Luke Kornet leave this dude grabs every rebound when he is in sets devastating screens not afraid to catch a lob in traffic makes his freethrows has enough of a post game that if you spoon feed it to him around the rim he don't fukk it up.

He up there with Big Val and 1%stein as the best backup big in the league. If I'm building an nba team I want Kornet as my backup big. Celtics might be a top 5 seed if they just had the team they have right now plus Kornet. Dude game is plug and play he can make every single team in the nba better. He is a perfect big to pair with Fox and when Victor comes back I'm not so sure the spurs shouldn't move him to the 4, start Luke at the 5, and just go get another big to be the backup big. Victor don't like playing the post anyway so Luke won't interfere with anything he does.

You hit it on the head. This current Celtics team plus Kornet is easily a top 5 team. But it was strictly the luxury tax and 2nd apron issue with the Celtics. They offered him a contract, but they couldn't offer him much because they wanted to get under the apron. Totally understand Kornet getting his money. He was taking discounts for like 3 straight years
