Spurs' 2nd overall pick, Dylan Harper, was off to a historic start. The Rutgers guard was slicing and dicing through the competition, looking as good as advertised. With his outstanding play, he helped propel the Spurs to the top of the conference early in the year. However, before he could get entirely comfortable, the rookie would be forced to miss time.
The rookie's calf strain is a devastating blow to a Spurs team that has shocked everyone around the league. Yet, the Spurs have come prepared. All offseason, we applauded the Spurs for their superior depth; now it's time to see it in action.
