马刺队有望再添一位新星，冲击年度最佳新秀奖项
迪伦·哈珀 (Dylan Harper) 是五届总冠军得主罗恩·哈珀 (Ron Harper) 19岁的儿子，他是一位顶级新秀，预计在库珀·弗拉格 (Cooper Flagg) 被选中后，将在NBA选秀夜（6月25日）的榜眼签位上被选中。凭借他的天赋、出身和沉着，他将是马刺队最理想的选择。
哈珀 (Harper) 是一位身高6英尺6英寸的左手将双能卫，他在大学赛场上节奏感出色，不易被对手打乱，在三分线内以57.4%的命中率高效得分。尽管来到圣安东尼奥可能会让后卫线显得有些拥挤，但考虑到他与球队的契合度，以及从1999-00赛季以来，榜眼秀作为新秀场均能获得26.1分钟出场时间的历史数据，很难想象他的出场时间会排在队内前七开外。
令人印象深刻的是，他在压力下仍能保持冷静，并在比赛末段命中关键球。在对阵薛顿霍尔大学 (Seton Hall) 的比赛中，他在下半场结束时的两次关键进球就是明证，其中包括了制胜的急停跳投三分。请看：

拥有像他这样一位全能型持球手是一项优势，他既能成为转换进攻威胁，也能作为维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 或其他球员挡拆配合的第三选择。文班 (Wemby) 的身高、接球范围和移动能力，将使他成为更易于顺下或外弹的接球点。此外，将达龙·福克斯 (De’Aaron Fox) 的速度与哈珀 (Harper) 的组织能力结合，也能形成另一个富有影响力的挡拆组合。
然而，哈珀 (Harper) 还需要适应马刺体系中更多的无球跑动和无球打法，因为他的身体对抗目前不足以应对联盟顶尖的防守者。他不错的接球投篮能力将有助于他更快地适应马刺队的体系，并且可以通过让他更多地进行无球掩护来发挥更大的作用。
他没有斯蒂芬·卡斯尔 (Stephon Castle) 那样的爆发力，但他能轻松滑翔到篮下，并且可以成为第二阵容的可靠选择和战术发起点。特别是，他制造空间的能力将帮助像哈里森·巴恩斯 (Harrison Barnes) 和朱利安·尚帕涅 (Julian Champagnie) 这样的终结点轻松命中远距离跳投。请记住，作为一名更高大的持球手，他更容易拆解对手的“外扑回位”和“夹击”防守，或者在力量上碾压矮小防守者。请看：

此外，凭借出色的脚步速度和6英尺10英寸的臂展，他在防守端有望成为一名防守尖兵，无论是进行一对一盯防还是作为协防者，都能有效干扰对手的持球人。他的身体测量数据和机动性在球队进行联防或全场紧逼时，也将成为一项宝贵的资产。
一些顾虑在于他偏低的助攻失误比（1.67），他在罗格斯大学24.1%的比赛中失误数多于助攻数，并且他的三分命中率低于平均水平（33%）。然而，这些不足以让马刺队另寻他法。哈珀 (Harper) 极具天赋，能够成为本届选秀中最具活力的球员之一，并且可以作为即插即用的贡献者，因为他能与达龙·福克斯 (De’Aaron Fox)、卡斯尔 (Castle)、德文·瓦塞尔 (Devin Vassell) 和凯尔登·约翰逊 (Keldon Johnson) 搭档出场。
具体来说，他能通过与文班 (Wemby) 或福克斯 (Fox) 搭档，尽早展现自己的运动天赋，因为他们的存在会引诱对手防守过度反应，从而让哈珀 (Harper) 有机会利用空位进行接球突破。
当他增重并经过教练的调教后，他也有望成为一名强力球员。想想看，文班亚马 (Wembanyama) 和卡斯尔 (Castle) 在新秀赛季就取得了多大的进步。关于哈珀 (Harper) 一个积极的迹象是，他在大学时期获得了大量的罚球机会（场均5.8次），在大十联盟 (Big Ten conference) 的罚球尝试数排名第八，这应该能延续到NBA赛场。
NBA的军备竞赛将在选秀夜拉开帷幕。幸运的是，对于马刺队来说，榜眼签选择哈珀 (Harper) 是最稳妥的。

The Spurs could have another youngster competing for the Rookie of the Year crown
Dylan Harper, the 19-year-old son of five-time champion Ron Harper, is a blue-chip prospect who will presumably be available at number two on NBA Draft night (June 25) after Cooper Flagg is selected. He would be the best player for the Spurs to grab because of his talent, pedigree and poise.
Harper is a 6’6” southpaw combo guard who was hard to speed up at the college level and scored efficiently inside the arc at 57.4 percent. Being in San Antonio would make the guard room a bit crowded, but it’s difficult to envision him falling below seventh in minutes because of his fit and historically, number two picks average 26.1 minutes as rookies since the 1999-00 season.
Impressively, he stays calm under pressure and can take the big shots late, as evidenced by his two huge baskets at the end of the second half against Seton Hall, which included the game-winning pull-up triple. See for yourself:

Having another versatile ball handler like him is a strength, as he can be a transition threat and a third option to run screen rolls with Victor Wembanyama or others. Wemby’s size, catch radius and mobility will make an easier target who can roll or pop. Additionally, mixing De’Aaron Fox’s speed with Harper’s playmaking could make another impactful pick-and-roll combo.
Yet, Harper will also have to get used to playing in extra motion with the Spurs and being off-ball since his body is not strong enough to handle some of the league’s top defenders. His decent catch-and-shoot ability will make it easier to adjust in the Spurs’ system and it could be exploited more often by using him as an off-ball screener.
He doesn’t have Stephon Castle’s torque, but he can glide to the basket and could be a dependable option, running plays for the second unit. Particularly, his ability to get separation will help the release valves like Harrison Barnes and Julian Champagnie swish deep jumpers. Keep in mind that being a bigger ball handler makes it easier for him to dissect a show-and-recover and a blitz or to overpower smaller defenders. Check this out:

Additionally, he has the defensive potential to be a pest with good foot speed and his 6 ‘10 wingspan, disrupting ball handlers as he tags them one-on-one or comes in as a helper. His measurables and maneuverability can also be an asset when shifting into a zone or full-court press.
Some concerns are his low assist-to-turnover ratio (1.67), recording more turnovers than assists in 24.1 percent of his games at Rutgers, and his 3-point percentage is below average (33). Yet, these shouldn’t be enough to convince the Spurs to go another route. Harper is very talented and can be one of the most dynamic players from his draft class plus an instant contributor because he can play next to De’Aaron Fox, Castle, Devin Vassell and Keldon Johnson.
Specifically, he’d be able to show his athletic gifts early playing with Wemby or Fox, as they make coverages overreact, allowing Harper to attack space on catch-and-go moves.
He could also be a powerhouse when he puts on size and with some seasoning from the coaches. Consider how much Wembanyama and Castle improved just as rookies. One of the good signs about Harper that should translate is that he got to the line a fair amount at school (5.8), being eighth in attempts for the Big Ten conference.
The NBA arms race will kick off on Draft night. Luckily for the Spurs, it doesn’t get safer than choosing Harper at number two.
