I was going to those Clipper games when Shea was a rookie.
Harper's just way ahead of where Shea was.
We all liked Shea.
We thought Shea was going to be really good.
I thought he was going to be like this glue guy, athletic defensive guard.
There was some offense there, you know, but clearly like a winning player.
Harper's like, I honestly don't know what the ceiling is for him.
I think as long as SJ has the best guard in the league title now and he's going to have it for the next couple of years and Edwards is right underneath him,
But I think Harper, at some point in his life, will wear that crown unless he gets hurt.
I was thinking about the first McHale's rookie year, the Celtics won the title and he was a six man.
They had Maxwell, they had bird, they had Robert Parrish.
Like it was a really deep team and he would come in sometimes and he would swing games.
Cause he, he had some low post stuff, but he had the defense.
And there were times, especially in the Philly series that year when he came in and his defense definitely affected the game.
And you're like, Oh, this guy's pretty special.
Like there's really something there.
