Even though the Rutgers Scarlet Knights were one of the most disappointing teams in all of college basketball last season, star PG/SG Dylan Harper lived up to the hype.
He spent most of the season as the second-best prospect behind only Cooper Flagg, and not even an injury and failing to make the NCAA Tournament was enough to change that.
Notably, that’s why NBA Draft expert Jonathan Givony believes that Gregg Popovich won’t hesitate to take him with the No. 2 pick and pair him with Victor Wembanyama, even if they already have De’Aaron Fox and Stephon Castle.

“They are not pursuing trades from what we’re hearing,” Givony said. “They think that they can play Harper together with Steph Castle and De’Aaron Fox in the same backcourt.”

Of course, the Spurs’ backcourt logjam will be a subject of debate, as they could perhaps go with another player who’s a better fit next to Fox and Castle. Then again, Harper is just too good and too NBA-ready to pass on.
