00:00The second overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft is now officially in.

00:05And the San Antonio Spurs select Dylan Harper out of Rutgers.

00:10He is the highest ever selected player from Rutgers University, JY.

00:16Just the fifth overall first round selection from this Scarlet Knights basketball program.

00:21And for San Antonio, drafting early here on the nights of the NBA Draft in recent memory

00:27have been pretty fun.

00:28First overall in 2023, that generational talent, Victor Wimbanyama, wins NBA Rookie of the Year.

00:36Last summer in the top five, Steph Castle out of UConn wins NBA Rookie of the Year.

00:42Might we sense a trend here for this Spurs organization in Dylan Harper?

00:46All about how they use him, but hey, Jersey is in the building.

00:50Rod Harper's son, completely different than his dad or his older brother and his style of play.

00:56Silky smooth guard, lefty, can kind of do a lot of things really good defensively.

01:01I mean, Steve Peichel can't teach offense, but he can at least teach defense.

01:04So this guy can play defense at a high level.

01:07The interesting thing, Ben, is going to be, how do they use Dylan Harper?

01:12What's Stephon Castle?

01:13What's De'Aaron Fox?

01:14We haven't even talked about Devin Vassell.

01:17Do they go two to three?

01:19Do they go three guard combo?

01:20What happens to Calvin Johnson?

01:21Still a lot of questions you have to have on San Antonio, but how they incorporate Dylan

01:26Harper to this young core.

01:27Kev, Tom, right back to you.

01:29I ask you a hypothetical question, perhaps.

01:31Two teams from Texas, two teams hailing from the Western Conference.

01:35Mavs, Spurs, who has the higher ceiling in 2025-26?

01:40I love that question, sir.

01:42I right now would find myself siding with San Antonio, where at least the log jam is in the

01:49backcourt, which might be a little bit easier to figure out, instead of the potential spacing

01:53issues that might be created by Anthony Davis, refusing to play the five, which would then

01:59put Flagg down to the three.

02:01To the three, because the combination of what they have with lively P.J.

02:05Washington, what are we going to do?

02:06Gafford, A.D.

02:07Coop.

02:08You might go all seven-footers, baby.

02:09Just a massive lineup overall, but the Spurs, I think, with the ceiling that they have,

02:13if Wemby can take a massive leap, just got to stay out there.

02:17Just stay out there.

02:18The team has no ceiling.

02:20Yeah.

02:20I also do, quickly, I'll just say, Ben, wonder if Darren Fox 100% will be on this team by

02:24the start of next season.
