Overview

• Dylan Harper was the draft’s consensus No. 2 prospect behind Cooper Flagg after averaging 19.4 points, 4.6 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.4 steals per game at Rutgers.
• Ace Bailey became Rutgers’ second first-round pick when he was selected No. 5 overall by the Utah Jazz following a 17.6-point, 7.2-rebound freshman season.
• With Harper joining Victor Wembanyama, De’Aaron Fox and Stephon Castle, the Spurs cast a youthful core built around versatile playmakers.
• San Antonio also holds the 14th and 38th picks, giving the franchise additional opportunities to add talent in this year’s draft.
• Harper, the son of five-time champion Ron Harper, is viewed as a turnkey contributor capable of fitting into the Spurs’ positionless lineup.
