Rumble, young man, rumble.
San Antonio Sours rookie Dylan Harper, the second overall pick in this past June’s NBA Draft, made his pre-season debut Friday night, scoring nine points in 18 minutes as the Spurs edged Utah 134-130.
“It’s just another step for him and his young career as he’s going to continue to grow,” Spurs coach Mitch Johnson said. “Obviously, he made some plays, which hopefully he’ll feel good about. But just to be able to do it in front of fans and in the bright lights, whether it was the plays that people will talk about when he scored, made a shot, or made a good pass. Just to be able to go through team defense and run the floor, it is just invaluable experience.”
The next pre-season game for the Sours is Monday against Indiana on the road. They open the regular season on October 22nd against the Dallas Mavs.
