Harper won’t star? Maybe.

Jeff Teague’s throwing down the ‘Kawhi trap’ like it’s gospel. But let’s run the numbers — not just the stats, but the feeling. Kawhi averaged 12.8 PPG in Year 3 while quietly building a legacy.

Harper? He’s got Jrue Holiday vision + NCAA scoring efficiency that screams ‘early starter’. My model says he’ll hit 14+ PPG by Year 3 if given real minutes.

So yes — Spurs may want to play patient. But this isn’t 2012 anymore. The tanking entropy is real.

Teague’s theory? Possibly valid… or just outdated playbook logic.

Either way — I’ll be watching those shot charts like they’re my job (which, technically, they are).

You guys think Harper can outpace Kawhi’s slow burn? Or should we all just wait for him to become ‘the next Duncan’? 🤔

Comment below — let’s debate like analysts who actually care about process.
