8:11am, 28 June 2025【Basketball】

Dylan Harper is the most optimistic rookie in this year's NBA draft besides super genius Cooper Flag. The Spurs are particularly fascinated by him, how obsessed are? It is said that the Spurs are reluctant to exchange the draft picks in their hands, so they are determined to keep the signing position and choose Harper, so they let him partner with their future core Wenban Yama.

Harper is a child with an extraordinary background and is a serious "second-generation ball". His dad, Ron Harper, won three consecutive championships with Jordan in the Bulls, and later won two more championships during the Lakers OK combination. He wore five rings on his hand and was a famous NBA figure. His brother Ron Harper Jr. has also been in the NBA. Born in this kind of family, Dylan has been holding a halo since he was a child, but the pressure is also high - as a famous general, if he can't fight well, he will fail. If he wants to gain recognition, he must be even better than his father.

In order to prove that he is not relying on his father, Dylan has been practicing hard since he was a child. With his father's true history and NBA-level genes, he became popular all over the United States in high school, was named a five-star top high school student, won a grand prize like the MVP of McDonald's All-Star Game, and was ranked second in the United States by ESPN. However, the one who pressed on him happened to be Cooper Flag, the No. 1 pick in this draft.

In order to prove that he can also lead the team to win, Dylan rejected the invitation from Duke University, a famous basketball school. You should know that Duke is where Flag is going, which means he gave up the opportunity to join forces with Flag. He chose to go to Rutgers University with average strength, but as soon as he went, he became the highest-rated new player in school history.

At Rutgers, although the team's overall strength is average and the opponent often focuses on "taking care of" him, he can still output stably, averaging about 20 points, 5 rebounds and 8 assists per game, which is very comprehensive. His physical fitness is not the most explosive type of flying man, but he is strong, has a very good dribbling rhythm, and has excellent vision and overall view. He is 1.98 meters tall and can play in two positions. His figure and style of play, many people think he is like Harden or Deron Williams, and these two are indeed templates for his draft.

Relying on his outstanding performance in college, he became recognized as the No. 1 guard in the United States. There is even news that when the Bucks wanted to trade Antetokounmpo, they asked the Spurs one of the bargaining chips they wanted was to choose Harper's signing, but the Spurs directly refused, which shows how attractive his talent is.

According to this level, there are many opportunities to compete for the top scorer in previous years. Unfortunately, this year, Flag, a "Son of America" ​​in front of him. This guy has been suppressing Dylan from high school to college. He has been stealing all the limelight. Dylan can only lock in the second place. It really means "I have the Yu family and why are you born in the Liang family?" But Dylan has long been used to living in the shadow of others. His basketball career has always been like this, but he just worked hard and made a big splash. Just like in the Jordan Classic, he led the team to play Flag and won the MVP by himself. Now everyone is waiting to see if he is in the NBA rookie season, can he compete with Flag again and compete for the best rookie.
