The Spurs select Dylan Harper with the 2nd overall pick | 2025 NBA Draft

with the second pick in the 2025 NBA draft the San Antonio Spurs select Dylan Harper from Rutgers University the 19-year-old Dylan Harper out of Ruters this is of course a family and a team as they Bailey cheers him on that knows this process and stage well dylan’s mother Maria who he is very close with coached him from kindergarten to high school his brother has NBA experience currently with the Detroit Pistons and of course his father Ron was the eighth pick in 1986 he played 15 seasons in the NBA and won five championships now Dylan set the Ruters record for total points for a freshman as again he makes his way over to his teammate we heard him earlier with Monica McNut saying how much it meant that they were able to share this night together two teammates hopeful to hear their name called a hug for agent Bill Duffy as well but Jay you see him as probably the best pick and roll guard in the draft is that right yeah a lefty who’s the best pick and roll guard in this draft in my view a three-level scorer with tremendous body control a terrific finisher at the rim through contact he shot 67% at the rim but he was also excellent as a pick and roll ball handler really good in transition he’s just a polished offensive player with really good footwork but when he gets into any sort of screen roll situation he attacks the secondary defender and even goes after the tertiary defender and gets all the way to the rim he can finish with his right or his left hand he gets fouled and he gets to the foul line he plays with pace he’s patient and he makes really good reads he gets an advantage and then he keeps it and takes advantage of it he’s an excellent playmaker once he gets into the lane he can pass it even though 75% of his buckets were unassisted you know he found Ace Bailey a lot but he’s a good passer he just needs to improve as a shooter but 17 games he had 20 or more his physicality a big part of that and had 35 points in two straight games he was the only player in the country to do that and the only player in the last 20 years in a major conference to do that dylan Harper is the real deal

Watch as Adam Silver announces that the San Antonio Spurs have selected Rutgers’ Dylan Harper with the second overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft.
