NBA – Spurs’ Stance Stronger Than Ever on the Market?

Par Mathieu Seguin | Rédacteur sport

As the 2025 draft approaches, the Spurs find themselves in the spotlight with their second overall pick. While rumors and speculations about this pick are running wild, San Antonio is showing clear confidence in its intentions. The name Dylan Harper, a highly anticipated prospect, keeps coming up persistently.

Early in the draft process, some observers wondered whether the Spurs might consider trading back in the draft order. The presence of De’Aaron Fox, Devin Vassell, and Stephon Castle in their backcourt seemed to justify such a consideration. This possibility could have opened the door for a strategic trade.

However, information from internal sources denies this scenario. The Spurs are comfortable with their No. 2 position and clearly intend to select Dylan Harper. For them, he is the best player available, regardless of positional needs or team composition.

Spurs More Determined Than Ever Before the Draft?

An insider explained, “The current reading is that they will simply take the best player available and handle positional questions afterward,” according to RG. This approach reveals a long-term vision and confidence in the player’s raw talent rather than an immediate need.

By betting on Harper, the Spurs aim to strengthen their roster with exceptional talent. Even if it requires some tactical adjustments, the franchise prefers to prioritize potential and individual value. This choice reflects an ambitious and thoughtful strategy in rebuilding the club, despite doubts about the other players available.

RG states: “Early in the draft process, some rival teams wondered whether San Antonio might consider trading back, given the presence of De’Aaron Fox, Devin Vassell, and Stephon Castle in its backcourt. However, sources tell RG that the Spurs are comfortable staying at No. 2 and selecting Harper as the best player available.”

This firm stance sends a strong message to the league and other franchises. San Antonio is not shaken by the rumors and remains faithful to its philosophy. The 2025 draft could well be a major turning point in the future of the Texas team, which intends to pair Harper with Victor Wembanyama and Stephon Castle. Competitors have been warned
