Gentle reminder, Giannis doesn't want to play center. That's why Bucks had Lopez, Bobby Portis, and currently Turner. He's like A.D., he prefers not to bang as a center. This means, if he comes here, he'll have to plair with Adams or Clint. His basketball reference page, has him listed every position but the big C: "Power Forward, Small Forward, Point Guard, and Shooting Guard" Also, in all these proposed deal, it's hilarious that Thansis is constantly included.
Right now Kon is more productive, but on a garbage team, playing a LOT more mins. He is even better than Harper at using his body. His 3-point shooting as a rookie shocks me. Kon is the smartest freshman college BB player I've ever watched. Long term though, I think Harper has more upside and could end up being a top 5-10, MVP-contender type player down the line. Once he masters the mid-range and develops a good 3-point shot, he will be unguardable. Ace Bailey is well behind the top 3 IMO. I'd have to think a long while where I'd redraft him.
Remember when Daddy Ball was constantly talking all kinds of stuff? Yeah, me neither. eta: I found the best interview
You may be right, but to make it sound as if it's a simple decision is where I disagree. Kon is flirting with 50/40/90 on higher volume with more minutes. He has fewer scoring threats on his team and is playing against starters vs Harper playing against backups. Also, Kon is playing for the worst run NBA franchise over the last 30 years, vs the Spurs, which is arguably the best run franchise over the last 30 years. Time will tell if you're right, and I value your opinion, but I think it's premature of you to speak for every NBA GM.
