Victor Wembanyama Reacts to Dylan Harper's Debut With Spurs

From the get-go, Harper's slashing ability and his quick handle took fans by surprise. It's clear he and Wembanyama could have a very bright future together, even if it's only been one preseason game.

Victor Wembanyama's Reaction To Harper's Night

After the Spurs defeated the Utah Jazz on Friday night in a thrilling overtime win, Wembanyama gave his thoughts on Harper's preseason debut.

“It’s great. It’s been a while, he’s been back at practice for a few days but it’s good to be on the court with him,” said Wembanyama.

“He looks ready, very comfortable, already throwing me passes. I’m very confident and very happy to be able to be on the court with him," he continued.

It was only a preseason game, and the fact he was returning from an injury, but the signs are there for Harper to be an NBA caliber guard.

Pair that with the fact that his center is Wembanyama of all players, and with the right coaching and direction, they could develop a lethal pick-and-roll.

Where Things Are Potentially Headed For Harper, And San Antonio

With Fox being the starting point guard and Stephon Castle playing shooting guard, Harper will most likely start the season coming off the bench.

There's no doubt he will have his turn, though. The Spurs are a deep team, which allows some leeway in lineup combinations.

At the end of the day, the team is centered around Wembanyama and his skillset, but clearly, he likes what he sees from Harper. Those two, along with the other young players, could be competing for championships for the next decade.

Harper's debut seemingly went well -- if Wembanyama is a fan, it means Harper did something right.
