Dylan Harper's Breakout Season | San Antonio Spurs News

Dylan Harper is poised to be the San Antonio Spurs’ breakout star in 2026-27, earning 19 of 24 votes in ESPN’s Summer Forecast — a strong signal from analysts. After a solid rookie season averaging 11.8 points and nearly 4 assists, Harper overcame a calf injury and a January slump to finish fourth in Rookie of the Year voting and 11th for Sixth Man. His postseason play soared, averaging 14.1 points and setting a franchise playoff record with seven steals. Teammates like Devin Vassell already call him a “star in the making.” While Carter Bryant and Stephon Castle also drew votes, Harper’s ceiling and the Spurs’ financial flexibility make him the most promising piece in a crowded young backcourt. The question now? How will they balance minutes as they aim for contention. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
