If Kasparas’ trajectory holds, I would be pleased picking him with the Jazz pick this year. Being successful in Europe and NCAA is a big tell in terms of success translating, IMO.

I still have belief in Egor as a high-level prospect, but it is tempered. Would be elated to take both.

I know this isn't what you meant but the hipster NBA fans/twitter would not be able to handle that backcourt if we took both Egor and Kas. Just had that thought as I read your post.
 
Purely as prospects, Kasparas is kind of reminding me a bit of DLO when he was at Ohio St. Kas is not quite the volume shooter, but also much more efficient. The size, shooting, passing, steals package is super high value. DLO with brains is a great prospect.

Cuz they all white AF? *shrug* I’d also prefer a 6’ 6”+ legit point to be black but right now the only two are white. PGs don’t need to be pure, but their mentality/role should still primarily be setting up the offense/their teammates and Harper really does not look like that to me. It would be one thing if he didn’t have any teammates, but Ace Bailey is supposed to be a top-5 talent. Egor and Kasparas don’t have anyone at their side of that talent calibre and yet they’re still diming.

All the noise about Harper on top of that with his dad, too… I don’t know, I just don’t love the vibe coming from all of that (low assist production + a camp already steering where he lands = not great indicators of unselfishness).

Its a formula... and yes white will be part of it but the tall playmaker with not a ton of athleticism will really appeal to the hipsters. We used to get video breakdowns of the eye contact Giddy would make on SLOB plays before making an amazing pass... and I'd just be over here going "but can he shoot" and hipster NBA would put their pinky's up grab a kombucha and be like "what a basic little bitch". It isn't just white guys.

I like both guys and probably have some hipster tendencies so... shrug.

Harper I am 100% good on. Both concerns with dad (he actually walked it back so whatevs) and his game. Ace is pretty concerning for me but I get it and will have him top 5 I'm sure. I think Harper gonna be big body Brunson and justify having the offense revolve around him... don't really care that his assist numbers might be a little meh for a traditional pg.
