The tiger father has no dog son! The son of the legendary son Tanhua joins the Spurs, Wenban Yama welcomes the best partner

On June 26, the Barclays Center in New York was shining with stars. When NBA president Adam Xiao Hua read out that "San Antonio Spurs chose Dylan Harper", the spotlight instantly focused on the 19-year-old man - he officially started his NBA journey with the second place, shouldering the heavy responsibility of assisting super star Victor Vinban Yama and helping the Spurs return to the playoffs.

Dylan Harper's name itself has the mark of a champion. As the son of five-time NBA champion Ron Harper, the championship genes flow in his blood. The glory that his father created in the Bulls Dynasty (three crowns) and the Lakers (two crowns) paved a very high starting point for Dylan's career. This guard, who is 1.94 meters tall and weighs 97 kg, has an amazing 2.09 wingspan. He has shown his all-round skills in the university arena and is widely hailed as the strongest defender of this year.

Technical Features: The left-handed rhythm master

scout report points Harper's template to James Harden and Jaylen Brunson. He himself admitted that he was deeply influenced by these two stars: "I watched a lot of videos of Harden and Brunson's game to learn how they control the offense." Harper's advantage lies in his excellent physical coordination and top-notch operational control skills, especially at using rhythm changes and exquisite footsteps to attack the basket. As a left-handed general, his "left-handed magic" often makes it difficult for defenders to predict. What's even more rare is that he is well versed in creating fouls, and the free throw line is the source of his stable scoring.

Of course, this new star is not without shortcomings. The explosive power is relatively ordinary, and sometimes he relies too much on the "sticky" tendency caused by playing singles, which is what he needs to polish in the NBA. Last season at Rutgers University, Harper played 29 games, averaging 19.4 points, 4.6 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.4 steals per game (nearly 20+5+5), with a shooting percentage of 48.4%. Especially the performance of scoring 73 points in two back-to-back games last November was impressive. However, the three-point shooting percentage is 33.3% and the free throw shooting percentage are still available for improvement.

The future is promising: The Silver and Black Legion's backcourt answer

According to the rookie salary regulations, Harper is eligible to sign a four-year rookie contract with the Spurs with a total value of $56.14 million. The contract structure is flexible: the first year salary exceeds US$12 million, fully guaranteed in the first two years, and the next two years (about 13.61 million in the 27-28 season, about 17.17 million in the 28-29 season) are team options, leaving room for the Spurs' future operations.

Harper's joining injects much-needed creativity and offensive fire into the Spurs' backcourt. His organizational ability and ball-holding offense will greatly share the pressure of Wenban Yama, while creating more opportunities for his teammates. Spurs fans have reason to look forward to this young man with both the blood of the legendary and the modern dual-energy and energy defense technology, under the training of the Popovich system, formed a new generation of internal and external dual-cores with Wenban Yama that scared the league. The

San Antonio's blueprint added a key mark on the Barclays Center's draft night. Dylan Harper carries the glory of his father and the Spurs' future, and his silver-black career has begun in the spotlight of Texas.
