Dylan Harper’s potential with the Spurs hinges on something he can’t control

Writing for Air Alamo, Cal Durrett argues that Dylan Harper's upside with the San Antonio Spurs may be restricted by playing time outside his control. Despite his status as a former second overall pick, Harper is projected to come off the bench again behind guards De'Aaron Fox and Stephon Castle, potentially limiting his minutes to fewer than 30 per game.

Durrett suggests that Harper's primary task will be orchestrating the second unit alongside players such as Keldon Johnson, Tobias Harris, and Luke Kornet. Although his minutes may be capped, Durrett believes the long-term goal is for Harper to push Fox and eventually transition into the starting five.
