The draft rating won A+! The Spurs made two drafts perfectly matched the literary class, but the team has 5 defenders or trades

On June 26, today's NBA first-round draft has ended, and the second-round draft will begin tomorrow. Compared with the first round, it is estimated that the attention in the second round will not be too high. At least domestic fans will not pay too much attention. After all, Yang Hansen has been selected by the Trail Blazers at the 16th pick. However, the draft rating given by the US media is only D, but the Trail Blazers are very satisfied with this draft. It is estimated that they will invest a lot of resources to cultivate Hansen. I hope Hansen will respond to external doubts with excellent performance. The team that won the A+ score in this draft was the Spurs. They chose two lottery picks in total. Now, these two draft picks are also very successful. First of all, they chose Harper with the second pick. He is the best big core of the ball holding this tournament. As we all know, after the arrival of the small ball era, the big core of the ball holding has become the first choice for many rebuilding teams. The Mavericks and Hawks, and the Pistons have achieved their rise by introducing suitable big cores.
Harper is considered to be the existence of templates Harden and Brunson. His singles ability is very excellent and his own offensive rhythm with the ball. Moreover, Harper's athletic ability and confrontation ability are already at the top level in the NBA. In addition, Harper may have a very small chance of losing water. After all, his father is Ron Harper, who was a five-champion point guard at that time, and at his peak, he was at the level of a star. Dylan Harper, who has received professional training since he was a child, probably won't lose water.
In the NCAA this season, Harper averaged 19.4 points, 4.6 rebounds and 4 assists per game, with a three-point shooting percentage of 48% and a three-point shooting percentage of 33%. It can be said that he had determined the second place before the draft. He and Flag had already set the top two picks. Originally, Durant was in the Suns' trade to get the second place pick from the Spurs, but was rejected by the Spurs. Although they had enough talent in the backcourt, the team had no intention of giving up Harper. They hoped that Harper and Wenban would grow together and regard the two as the cornerstone of the future.
Now the Spurs' backcourts include Wassel, Fox, Castle, and Wesley. The team's backcourt is too crowded. I think Wessley and Wassell may be sent away by the trade. In many previous transaction discussions, the Spurs have put Wassell in it. Although they have good talent, they are still far behind the other few. As for Castle, he may eventually become the No. 3 position. After all, he has such ability, 2.01 meters tall, and his defense is enough.
Fox will be the first core of ball holding next season. Of course, it is not ruled out that the Spurs will eventually choose to trade Fox in order to straighten Harper. Although Fox is in his year of playing, his upper limit seems to be an All-Star player. His shooting stability outside the three-point line is not excellent enough. Although his personal ball holding and killing ability is excellent, he cannot achieve a combination of offense and pass, and cannot make a good conversion between offense and defense. There is another possibility that the team will win Harper to replace Fox.
In addition to winning Harper, the Spurs also won Carter Bryant with the No. 14 draw, one of the best 3D players in this class. This season, averaging 6.5 points, 4.1 rebounds, 1 assist, 0.9 steals and 1 block, with a three-point shooting percentage of 37%. He not only has good defensive ability, but also has excellent defensive predictions, so he can send out good steals and block data, plus his excellent transverse ability and confrontation ability, allowing him to switch to multiple positions.
On the offensive end, he almost doesn't take advantage of the ball. He is a 3D player who is good at running positions. He has excellent shooting ability when receiving the ball. This is also the 3D type of forward line that the Spurs have been looking for. Although the team already has Barnes, considering his age, perhaps after Wenban and Harper reached their peak in their careers, Barnes has entered the end of his career and cannot grow with them. In addition, the Spurs also lack a substitute 3D, and Harper is here just right now.
Carter Bryan's draft template is Trey Murphy, and some people say it is Jaylen Johnson of the Hawks. Both of them have achieved good results after entering the league. They have both tore off the label of 3D. Now the Spurs' talent has been further increased, which also gives them more possibilities next season. Although the two young rookies cannot give the team immediate help, relying on their talents, they are probably able to support the Spurs.
After learning that the Spurs selected Harper, Wenban immediately called him and said: Hey, I am playing for the Spurs too, my name is Victor. Harper responded: Ha, of course I know who you are. My name is Dylan. I just got selected by the Spurs. I think we are teammates now. Wenban: Haha, this is super exciting. We will work together in the future. Enjoy it. You will celebrate tonight, have a good rest and then we will contact you again. Harper: Yes, I am very grateful. Thank you. We will go back and train together and contact us.
The Spurs have a future worth looking forward to. Speaking of this, what do you want to say about the current Spurs? Welcome to leave a message for discussion.
