Dylan Harper’s Rise Could Change Spurs | San Antonio Spurs News

Dylan Harper is lighting up the court and turning heads, especially in the playoffs where he averaged 19 points per 36 minutes off the bench with elite efficiency. He poured in 18 points a game against the Knicks in the Finals and might be the third-best player in that series behind Brunson and Wembanyama. The real question? Why’s he not getting more minutes? With just over 22 minutes a game in the regular season and 26 in the playoffs, Coach Mitch Johnson’s strategy is sparking debate. If Harper gets more run — say, 30+ minutes — he could dominate Sixth Man of the Year and even challenge for Most Improved Player, especially if he hits 16.5 points, 5 assists, and 5.5 rebounds. For San Antonio, Harper’s leap could be the key to unlocking their ceiling next season — if they can’t find a true second option, he might just become the star they’ve been waiting for.
