The San Antonio Spurs were able to jump up six spots during the NBA Draft lottery, and while they fell short of the first overall pick, they landed the second pick instead. However, in a draft with two elite prospects, the Spurs had no problem landing Rutgers guard Dylan Harper to join their loaded backcourt in San Antonio.

Son of Ron Harper, who was a five-time NBA Champion playing for the Chicago Bulls and Los Angeles Lakers, Dylan looks to be a long-term guard pairing for Victor Wembanyama as the Spurs begin this next era. Reflecting on the moment, Harper took to his Instagram account to highlight the life-changing moment.

As can be seen by the reactions, Harper is getting plenty of love and support from people he's been around in his basketball journey. It will be a loaded backcourt in San Antonio, but Harper showed during his lone season with Rutgers that he can be a game-changer.
