Letting the Spurs land Dylan Harper was the nail in the coffin for the future of the league. San Antonio has three young bona fide star-in-the-making-level hoopers in their core (well, Victor Wembanyama is already a superstar, but that's not the point). The 2025 NBA Draft's number two overall pick will have every chance to reach his potential because of San Antonio's approach. It couldn't be more ideal.
When Harper played at Rutgers, he had way too much responsibility. It was by necessity. He may have had Ace Bailey as a running mate, but outside of those two, that team has a serious talent deficit.
