Las Vegas – The top two pics of the 2025 NBA draft faced the NBA Summer League on Saturday, and showed an attractive scene about what could happen on the horizon during the next season. San antonio spurs, 76-69 wins Above Dallas Maverrix,
Number 1 pick Cooper Flag A game-hai 31 points on 10-21 shooting in one afternoon, including several highlight-reel stings. Number 2 selection Dylan Harper San Antonio scored 16 points in just 20 minutes at the beginning of his summer league after San Antonio’s last matchup disappeared due to a minor waist injury.
,[There’s] No better time to come back [than] In such a game and as a crowd, “said Harper.” He had a good game. I had a good game. We only showed the world of NBA what we are about. ,
Performing before a packed home at Thomas & Mac Center included celebrities such as the current player and former NBA star as well as Comedian Sedric The Entertainer and actor Jason Suudikis, Hperor put in 45 seconds in action on a drive for the basket in the first digits of the game. Both Flag and Harper started at a slow pace, each killed only 1 out of 4 in the first quarter because San Antonio took a 21–11 lead.
But the crowd moved towards its feet, once the top pics matched one-one-one with 4.1 seconds in the first quarter. Harper recalled a 24-foot stepback jumper at the end of that sequence with flag defending.
Aggressively, Flag struggled several times when protected by Sprows Wing Carter Bryant (2025 NBA draft number 14 pick), which is estimated to be widely developed in one of the top protective stoppers of San Antonio. The flag still managed to earn several trips for the foul line, where he shot 8 out of 13.
“I think this is a new atmosphere, the new setting,” Flag said. “They want to see me being aggressive and do that kind of items. I think I have done much better today, just reaching the line, flying, and it helped me to rest and settle in a hurry. Still remembered a bunch of free throw. I know that my mother was probably not very happy with it.”
The flag will produce its most memorable sequence in the last 30.3 seconds of the third quarter. Flag defeated the pressure of the full court for driving paste to pull the Dallas within 10 points (57–47). Then, he went for a thunderous thunder on San Antonio’s relay minics, before I removed the Hafcourt of Minics on Bajer.
“He just continues to play the right drama,” said Maveryx Summer League coach Josh Brogahemer. “Is it by a drive [on] The boy or we were using him a little more as a roller and we were not doing so much hard to get the ball one or two times a few times, so he was not working so hard to bring the ball to the floor, he just continues to do the right drama, which is very good to always see. ,
Harper came with 1:04 in another quarter of the most eye popping moments, when he pounced to a high-uplift block in the basket on Ryan Nebhard. The play shocks the teammates of the jerk team Victor Weambanyama And Caldon Johnson Thomas and Mac Center roared from court shouldid seats as a crowd.
,[Harper] It was very good, and you felt their influence, “Said Spider Summer League coach Mike Nois.” The stents were slightly less, which he would say. He has not played a game in a long time. Therefore, we tried to manage it properly. When he was out of there, he was working hard, playing right. ,
Harper concluded the second quarter on a 10 -foot float with flag guarding and the second quarter with a finish. Harper is connected on the upcoming free throw to give San Antonio a 33-32 lead.
Harper 6 rebounds, 2 aid, 2 stolen and finished with a block, while the flag laughed 4 rebounds, one aid and a block.
“We’re going to play him a lot this year,” Harper told about Flag and Maverix. “So, the future fight is going to be great. One thing we have got, we are just competitives. We are going to go out and compete.”
