Spurs fans don't realize how lucky we were to land the second overall pick in the draft. Near-generational talent Cooper Flagg spearheaded the 2025 draft class, and the disappointment of missing on that certainly hurts. However, what we got instead could be just as good, if not better.
Flagg was not in a tier of his own; he wasn't the only future superstar waiting to hear his name called. The Spurs landed a prospect with a ceiling out of this world. Many have tried to put a cap on what type of player Harper can be.
