Bizarrely, Spurs using Harper off the ball. He’s coming off the bench with D’aaron Fox not even playing. No idea what they plan to do with Harper when Fox comes back. Spurs were better off trading their pick if they are going to bury Harper.

Harper missed much of the preseason, and this is the first year the Spurs will be trying hard to get into the playoffs. NBA coaches tend not to trust rookie point guards generally since they tend to turn over the ball a ton. As the season goes on and Dylan gets his feet wet, expect him to back up both guard spots, and they can also give Castle some small forward minutes to get Dylan some extra time on the court. It is always a little tough for rookies playing on teams that are trying to win, the coaches don’t have much tolerance for mistakes. Ace will play 35 minutes a game in Utah because they are not playing for anything this year other than more draft picks.

Actually, I think the Ace/Dylan pick and roll would have looked a lot like what we see in the video - a whiff by the screener and then Dylan makes something happen

That would be because no one was taught to set a screen. With players of that caliber, you would think that it would have been a point of emphasis in practice.

Dylan has 48 points after the first 3 games for an average of 16 ppg. He also has 5.0 in rebounds and 4.3 assists per game and averaging over 77% on free throws. Pretty good so far in my opinion in only playing just barely over half a game. His stats in the one game was much better than Flagg. I just hope he can stay healthy. I hope Ron can get some minutes with the Celtics.

Ace is now 3-19 from the floor and has 8 points after 3 games.

so far things are playing out like we expected. Dylan is day 1 ready while Ace is extremely raw. He’s efficient in the sense that he doesn’t need to dominate the ball to score but very streaky as a shooter. I’m sure he’ll have a game where he goes off at some point but for him to be a difference maker he’ll need to be more consistent and bring more intangibles

Dylan is much more ready and landed in an outstanding situation (with SA and Wemby).

Ace has unfortunately been dealing with the flu, probably shouldn’t have been playing. He was great in the preseason, and Utah is over the moon happy with him so far. Look for them to move Markkanen during the season and go all in building around Ace.

bailey a bit better, though still in limiting minutes: 8 points on 3-5 FG, 0-2 from 3, 2-2 FT, 3 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 turnover, 1 blocked shot .. though a -17 in the plus/minus column for those who like that stat ... in just 16 minutes. Hit his 1st 3 shots when he initially entered the game, all on dribble drive pull-up mid-range shots - smooth and easy, each of them. Got or took no other mid-range shots the rest of the game, but missed 2 3-point shots - both good shots to take. Should have had at least 2, if not 3, additional assists - good drives and passes, his teammate missing easy open shots.

I suspect he will be taking more of Filipowski's minutes as the season progresses, and maybe also Cody Williams'
