Anonymous scout: Spurs second-hand man is a bit like Ginobili, he may take the place of Fox

ESPN's well-known draft reporter Jeremy Woo talked about the situation about Dylan Harper, the new San Antonio Spurs' second-tier son. Woo interviewed an anonymous scout from a team in the Western Conference, and the scout also talked about Harper in the interview. According to the scout, Harper is now a bit like Manu Ginobili on the offensive end. But next if he can really make three-pointers his deadly weapon, then maybe De 'Aaron Fox will become dispensable for the Spurs, and the Spurs can also get some good returns by trading Fox.

Harper was born in March 2006 and is 19 years old. According to data from the joint trial physical test session before the draft, Harper's bare feet are 194cm tall, weighs 96.71kg, wingspan is 209.6cm, and standing height is 259.1cm. In the NCAA game last season, Harper played 29 times for Rutgers, who was in his position, and averaged 32.7 minutes per game, averaged 19.4 points, 4.6 rebounds (0.8 frontcourt rebounds), 4 assists, 1.4 steals and 0.6 blocks, and 2.4 turnovers and 1.9 fouls. His shooting percentage was 48.4% (6.7/13.8), his three-point shooting percentage was 33.3% (1.7/5.2), and his free throw shooting percentage was 75% (4.3/5.8). Harper was shortlisted for the Big Ten League's All-A-Level 3 and All-Rookie Team this season, which is also the greatest recognition of his outstanding performance.

In the previous NBA Summer League, Harper played 2 times for the Spurs, averaging 22.1 minutes per game, averaging 16 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 0.5 blocks, and 3.5 turnovers and 2.5 fouls. His shooting percentage was 35.7%, a three-point shooting percentage of 12.5%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 78.6%. Harper's performance in the two games of the summer league was obviously not ideal. His offensive efficiency was very average. His stability outside the three-point line was seriously insufficient. His ability in passing and organization was also very disappointing. He also did not play the role he should play on the defensive end. His effect on the court seemed to be very undesirable. The reporter's statement is not unreasonable. If Harper can show sufficient stability outside the three-point line, then there is no doubt that he will become an excellent player, and he can provide a lot of help and support to the team on the offensive end. However, the problem is that judging from his performance in the summer league, his weaknesses are very obvious, and it will take him some time to adapt to the rhythm and intensity of the NBA. With Harper's performance during the Summer League, it seems that he wants to replace Fox in a short period of time.
