Dylan Harper holds his first rapper match

HAS Saint Anthonybehind Victor Vembanyamathere is no shortage of talent at the helm and, last night against Brooklynit wasn’t De’Aaron Fox (injured) or Stephon Castle who shined, but Dylan Harper.

Author of 20 points, 8 assists, 6 rebounds and 2 steals in 29 minutes in support of Wembey, the left-hander showed why Spurs he drafted him second last June.

« I just want to have an impact in the game, to bring to my team that impulse and energy that we need » he stated afterwards, sober. ” It’s just basketball and I just have to go out on the court, play my game, believe in my abilities and be someone who can do whatever the team needs. »

Timely factor Ks

Coming off the bench, Dylan Harper was the perfect spark for this Texas franchise, who was in control against the Nets for a long time (up to +26), but still got a scare for his first outing of the season at home. So when San Antonio found itself down -5 early in the fourth quarter, the rookie pulled out all the stops…

« He came in and changed the course of the match » correctly assessed Keldon Johnson, the young veteran of the group. « This is huge, especially for a beginner. I have a feeling that his confidence and assurance is very unique. (…) He did everything right and, when we had a little sluggishness in the second half, he arrived and brought that spark. (…) I have the feeling that he imposes his determination as soon as he enters the game. I appreciate the fact that he is not passive, but that he goes to the floor as his own. »

“And-one” in transition, “layup” after a feint by “Tony Parker” on a quick play, an assist to Victor Vembanyama after an offensive rebound that scratched under the circle and a small “drive” on the weak side for a left-handed finish.

Within three minutes, a hyperactive Dylan Harper woke up the Frost Bank Center and it was this streak that led people from Mitch Johnson towards victory. Their third in three games and it’s unheard of for Spurs since… 2019.

« His offensive contribution was very good and his stats show it well, but I found his defense to be even better » the Texas coach openly added, about the youngest player on his team.
