马刺新秀后卫在职业生涯首战中表现抢眼，尽显其榜眼身份所具备的过人天赋。
在缺席加州精英赛和夏季联赛首战之后，迪伦·哈珀 (Dylan Harper) 迎来职业生涯首秀，对阵库珀·弗拉格 (Cooper Flagg) 领衔的独行侠队。这位榜眼秀不负众望，全场贡献16分、6个篮板、2次助攻和2次抢断，帮助球队以76-69取胜。
哈珀与弗拉格的对决始于夏联马刺队祭出的窒息式防守，成功限制住了状元秀弗拉格的发挥。独行侠队在首节仅得到11分，投篮命中率14投2中，而卡特·布莱恩特 (Carter Bryant) 则在半场进攻中大肆破坏。不幸的是，第二节风向逆转。达拉斯独行侠队找到了进攻节奏，而圣安东尼奥马刺队则由于进攻节奏缓慢、过度依赖持球手个人能力，未能持续获得好机会。银黑军团半场结束时仅领先1分。
哈珀在第三节通过加快进攻节奏和在防守端极具破坏力，帮助马刺队扭转了局面。弗拉格借助挡拆找到了得分感觉，但独行侠队的进攻并没有太多其他威胁。与此同时，大卫·琼斯-加西亚 (David Jones-Garcia) 摆脱了第二节影响他发挥的犹豫不决，不断得分，帮助球队建立起显著的领先优势。
夏联独行侠队试图在弗拉格的带领下发起反扑，但最终圣安东尼奥马刺队还是轻松赢得了比赛。
哈珀的表现如预期般出色
哈珀自三月以来就没有参加过比赛，并且由于轻伤缺席了加州精英赛，所以外界对他首秀的期望有所降低也情有可原。但这些担忧很快烟消云散，因为他从一开始就显得与众不同。
这位榜眼秀迪伦·哈珀 (Dylan Harper) 命中了本场比赛的第一球，但更令人印象深刻的是，他融入了夏联马刺队所建立的防守体系，展现出的活力在拉斯维加斯的多数高顺位新秀中并不常见。2次抢断、4次防守干扰和1记十佳球级别盖帽都非常精彩，但他还压迫持球人，并且不惧怕争抢地板球。在进攻端，他随心所欲地到达攻击位置，利用控球和速度杀入禁区并制造犯规。他大量持球，但也与其他持球人共存并表现自如，无论是空切上篮还是维持进攻流畅性。尽管助攻数不高，但其视野和大局观展现得淋漓尽致。他就是马刺队所期望的球员。

当然也存在一些问题，特别是早期融入进攻和犯规过多，但这些都是全队性的问题。至于他的投篮，哈珀所有四次记入统计的三分出手全部偏出，但他命中了一记急停跳投，却因投篮前犯规而被取消，并且只有一次糟糕的打铁。他的投篮姿势看起来很扎实，罚球7罚6中。
仅仅一场比赛之后，或许可以说他实力远超夏季联赛水准，但希望他能再次出场，因为除了表现出色，他的比赛也极具观赏性。
卡特·布莱恩特至少在防守端给库珀·弗拉格制造了麻烦
弗拉格贡献31分，摆脱了首秀得分低迷的困境，展现出其未来全NBA级别球员的潜质。然而，他并非轻易得分，特别是在上半场，当第14顺位的新秀卡特·布莱恩特 (Carter Bryant) 在外线缠斗不休，考验他的运球能力并寸步不让时。弗拉格大部分得分是在上半场其他人防守他时获得的，而在下半场则依靠高位挡拆摆脱布莱恩特，并惩罚马刺的蹲坑防守。面对一位天赋异禀的球员，这位马刺队的另一位新秀在防守端已具备NBA水准。

进攻端则完全是另一回事。布莱恩特目前在进攻端并没有任何高水平的表现。他在任何防守压力下都无法有效运球。他的投篮不稳定。他传球缺乏灵性。本场比赛他得到2分，出现4次失误，7次投篮全部偏出，其中包括5次三分尝试。就他目前的发展阶段而言，如果布莱恩特和他的克隆人被锁在训练馆里进行一天的一对一比赛，最终比分很可能会是零比零。幸运的是，马刺队选中他并不是为了让他成为主要得分手，而且他只有19岁，有足够的时间发展成为一名攻防兼备的球员。
大卫·琼斯-加西亚持续瓦解防线
琼斯-加西亚一直是今夏表现最出色的球员之一，不仅限于马刺队。这位从侧翼球员转型为双能卫的球员在对阵独行侠队的比赛中替补出场砍下21分，此前在令人印象深刻的加州精英赛之后，他在拉斯维加斯的首场比赛中也得到了24分。他是一名真正的三威胁得分手，拥有娴熟的控球和技巧能创造出投篮空间，即使面对严密防守也能将球投进。有时，他在场上就是球队的进攻全部。他的比赛非常具有观赏性。

他的技术特点能否适应NBA？毕竟在NBA，他不会有那么多持球机会，这是一个很大的疑问。他并非一个糟糕的传球手，但他是一名得分优先型球员。他在第二节试图传球而非主动进攻时，思想上给自己造成了困扰，但在之后专注于得分时显得更加自如。马刺队拥有大量得分型后卫，目前可能不是最适合他的球队，但凭借他的表现，即使不能赢得一份正式合同，也肯定能在某个球队获得一份双向合同。
下一场比赛：周一对阵犹他爵士
犹他爵士队和埃斯·贝利 (Ace Bailey) 将在下一场比赛中等待夏联马刺队。埃斯·贝利 (Ace Bailey) 曾到场观看了哈珀的首秀，他错过了拉斯维加斯夏季联赛的第一场比赛，但希望他能做好准备，对阵马刺队。

Dylan Harper shines in Summer League debut, Spurs beat Cooper Flagg’s Mavericks
The Spurs’ rookie guard impressed in his first professional game, showing off the skills that made him the No. 2 pick in the draft.
After missing the California Classic and the opening game of Summer League, Dylan Harper made his pro debut against Cooper Flagg and the Mavericks. The second overall pick didn’t disappoint, finishing the night with 16 points, six rebounds, two assists and two steals in a 76-69 win.
The Harper vs. Flagg showdown started with the Summer Spurs playing suffocating defense that kept the No. 1 overall pick in check. The Mavericks scored just 11 points in the opening frame on 2-for-14 shooting, as Carter Bryant wreaked havoc in the half-court. The tables unfortunately turned in the second quarter. Dallas found ways to get going while San Antonio didn’t get good looks consistently due to a low-pace offense that was too reliant on the individual talent of its ball handlers. The Silver and Black were only up one at the half.
Harper helped the Spurs right the ship in the third, both by playing with more pace and by being disruptive on defense. Flagg got going as a scorer thanks to screens but the Mavericks’ offense didn’t have many other threats. David Jones-Garcia, meanwhile, shook off the indecisiveness that limited his impact in the second frame and put points on the board to get his team a significant lead.
The Summer Mavs tried to make some runs with Flagg leading the way, but in the end, it was a comfortable win for San Antonio.
Harper was as impressive as expected
Harper hadn’t played since March and had a small injury that kept him out of the California Classic, so it was understandable to have lowered expectations for his debut. Those apprehensions didn’t last long, as he looked special from the start.
The No. 2 overall pick scored the first bucket of the game but, more impressively, he bought into the defensive identity the Summer Spurs have adopted, offering energy that is not common from most blue-chippers in Vegas. The two steals, four deflections, and highlight-reel block were great, but he also pressured ball handlers and was not afraid to mix it up on loose balls. On the other end, he got into his spots at will, using his handle and quickness to touch the paint and draw fouls. He played on the ball a lot but also shared the floor with other ball handlers and looked comfortable, cutting for layups or keeping the offense going. The vision and decision-making were in full display despite a low assist total. He was the player the Spurs hoped he’d be.

There were some issues, particularly with getting into the offense early and fouling too much, but those were team-wide problems. As for his shot, Harper missed all four of his threes that counted but hit a pull-up that was erased because of a foul before the shot, and only had one bad miss. The form looked solid, and he made six of his seven free throws.
After just a game, it’s probably appropriate to say he’s too good for Summer League, but hopefully he’ll suit up again, because on top of being good, he’s also fun to watch.
Carter Bryant gave Cooper Flagg some trouble, at least on one end
Flagg dropped 31 points, bouncing back from a low-scoring debut and looking like the future All-NBA player he is. Yet it wasn’t easy for him to get those buckets, especially in the first half when the 14th overall pick was harassing him in the perimeter, testing his handles and never conceding an inch. Flagg mostly scored when others were on him early and relied on high screens to get past Bryant and punish the Spurs’ drop defense in the second half. Against a special talent, the other San Antonio rookie looked NBA-ready on defense.

The offense is another story. There’s nothing Bryant currently does at a high level on that end. He can’t dribble at all under any type of pressure. His shot is inconsistent. He’s not an intuitive passer. He finished the game with two points and four turnovers and missed all his seven shots, including his five three-point attempts. At this point in his development, if Bryant and his clone were to be locked in a gym for a day playing one-on-one, the score at the end would likely be tied at zero. Fortunately, the Spurs didn’t draft him to be their leading scorer and at just 19 he has time on his side to develop into a two-way player.
David Jones-Garcia continues to dismantle defenses
Jones-Garcia has been one of the best performers of the summer, not just for the Spurs. The wing-turned-combo guard dropped 21 points off the bench against the Mavericks after scoring 24 in his first game in Vegas following an impressive California Classic. He’s a legitimate three-level scorer who has the handles and craft to create separation and the touch to hit even contested looks. At times, he’s the entire offense when he’s on the floor. He’s been fun to watch.

Is his skill set transferable to the NBA, where he’s not going to have the ball in his hands as much? That’s the big question with him. He’s not a bad distributor, but he’s a score-first guy. He psyched himself out in the second quarter by trying to pass instead of attacking and looked more comfortable later on, when he focused on just getting buckets. The Spurs, with their abundance of scoring guards, might not be the right team for him right now, but he’s definitely earning a two-way deal somewhere with his play, if not a full spot on a roster.
Next game: vs. Utah Jazz on Monday
The Jazz and Ace Bailey await the Summer Spurs. Bailey, who was in attendance to watch Harper’s debut, missed the first game of the Las Vegas Summer League but will hopefully be ready to go against the Spurs.
