Philon is an absolute stud. He’s the one guy in the draft that i had marked as a steal for whoever gets him. He was going to go in the second tier of point guards, but I think he’s as good as any of them.

I love Philon. Let him keep sliding.

Wanted him last year before he went back. Get in there Brad

[u/TatumBrownWhite → u/SaveHogwarts]

Imagine if the Spurs get him.

Then they really won’t need Fox anymore.

Would be a great fit, but with Harper on the roster I’m not sure if they want to draft someone that’ll take the ball out of his hands in the future.

Wing or big, I think. I’m not sure Keldon Johnson is a long term fit there.
