In May, the NBA world was sent through the wringer when the lottery results were revealed. The teams expected to be in the top three in the draft were furious. The results gave the Dallas Mavericks, fresh off the shocking Luka Doncic trade, Cooper Flagg, and the Spurs were given Dylan Harper. It was an absolute shocker.
It was impossible not to be excited as a Spurs fan. Even though they didn't ultimately land the grand prize, they still landed an incredible player in Harper. With the two players being taken back-to-back, a new rivalry has taken shape.
