马刺队的新秀迪伦·哈珀和卡特·布莱恩特在下赛季可能会走上不同的发展道路。
哈珀预计将立即为球队提供帮助，可能最初会担任替补角色；而布莱恩特赛季初则可能前往奥斯汀锻炼，以积累发展联盟经验。
身高6英尺5英寸、体重215磅的哈珀，为马刺队带来了一股极具活力的进攻力量，他能够掌控比赛节奏，并轻松冲击篮筐。这位榜眼秀凭借其出色的得分和组织能力，将立即为球队注入活力，尽管他可能初期会作为达龙·福克斯 (De’Aaron Fox) 的替补控球后卫。
上赛季作为罗格斯大学 (Rutgers University) 的大一新生，这位19岁的新泽西州本地人场均贡献19.4分、4.0次助攻和1.4次抢断，投篮命中率48.4%，三分命中率33.3%。
马刺总经理布莱恩·莱特 (Brian Wright) 也期待哈珀能够凭借他积极的态度和超越年龄的成熟个性为球队带来提升。
“他拥有罕见的谦逊自信，”莱特谈及这位新泽西州本地人时说道，“他是一个非常脚踏实地、纯粹的孩子，热爱篮球。在整个考察过程中与他相处后，你可以看出他知道自己是一名优秀的篮球运动员。但他更希望成为集体的一份子，成为团队的一员，他愿意牺牲，也愿意为此付出努力。我们与他相处的时间越长，就越对此充满信心。”
身高6英尺7英寸、体重215磅的布莱恩特最终将成为一名高效的3D球员，他能凭借其外线投篮为球队拉开空间，并作为一名可以防守四个位置的多功能防守者。在奥斯汀经历前述的锻炼后，这位第14顺位新秀有望作为哈里森·巴恩斯 (Harrison Barnes) 的替补登场。
“他非常全面，”莱特谈及这位19岁的加利福尼亚州本地人时表示，“他是一个可以防守四个位置的高大侧翼球员。他能很好地拉开空间，是一名身体素质极佳的运动员。他是个聪明的年轻人，拥有我们所寻找的正确品格和特质。”
上赛季在亚利桑那大学 (Arizona University)，布莱恩特主要替补出场，作为大一新生场均仅得到6.5分，平均每场比赛出场19.5分钟。
“他们称他为典型的3D球员，”分析师鲍勃·迈尔斯 (Bob Myers) 在ESPN的选秀报道中说道，“他的使用率不高，也不怎么持球，但你可以确定他能胜任这些任务，这类选秀权具有巨大的价值。”

Spurs draftees Dylan Harper and Carter Bryant will likely take different paths as rookies next season.
While Harper is expected to help immediately, possibly at first in a bench role, Bryant could start out the season in Austin to receive some seasoning in the G League.
In the 6-foot-5, 215-pound Harper, the Spurs have a dynamic offensive force who can dictate the pace of the game and get to the rim with ease. The No. 2 pick in the draft will provide an immediate spark with his scoring and playmaking, albeit perhaps initially as a backup at point guard to De’Aaron Fox.
As a freshman at Rutgers last season, the 19-year-old New Jersey native averaged 19.4 points, 4.0 assists and 1.4 steals while shooting 33.3 percent from deep and 48.4 percent from the field.
Spurs general manager Brian Wright also expects Harper to provide a lift with his positive attitude and mature-beyond-his-years personality.
“He’s got a rare confidence with humility,” Wright said of the New Jersey native. “He’s a very down-to-earth, simple kid. Loves basketball. And after spending time with him throughout the process, you can tell that he knows he’s a good basketball player. But he wants to be part of a group, he wants to be part of a team, he’s willing to sacrifice, he’s willing to work for it, and the more we spend time with them, the more we felt confident in that.”
The 6-foot-7, 215-pound Bryant eventually will be a productive 3-and-D player who will spread the floor with his perimeter shooting and serve as a versatile defender who can guard four positions. After the aforementioned time in Austin, look for the 14th overall pick to come off the bench in support of Harrison Barnes.
“He’s super versatile,” Wright said of the 19-year-old California native. “He’s a big wing that can guard four positions. He spaces the floor well. He’s a really good athlete. He’s a smart young kid, and he’s got the right character and makeup we look for.”
Bryant mainly came off the bench last season at Arizona, averaging just 6.5 points while playing only 19.5 minutes per game on average as a freshman.
“Prototypical 3-and-D, they call him,” analyst Bob Myers said during ESPN’s draft coverage. “Not a huge usage rate, didn’t handle the ball, but you can pencil him in and he can do those things, and those picks have tremendous value.”
