In the years since, the Spurs have only added to their exciting young core when they selected Stephon Castle<\/a> with the #4 overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft. The young star, much like Wembanyama, went on to win the Rookie of the Year award.<\/p>\n It feels like the Spurs\u2019 luck when it comes to landing young talent doesn\u2019t run out, as they got their third straight top-5 NBA Draft pick this year, selecting Dylan Harper<\/a> with the #2 overall pick.<\/p>\n Harper had a lot of respect for the Spurs growing up<\/a>, and now he gets to represent the team that set the standard for him as a basketball player.<\/p>\n Harper is showing promise in the NBA Summer League<\/a>, just like Wemby and Castle did in years past. But Gilbert Arenas thinks the Spurs now have to make a big roster decision over De\u2019Aaron Fox<\/a> ahead of the new season to best build around Victor Wembanyama.<\/p>\n Gilbert Arenas spoke on his podcast about the San Antonio Spurs. Given how Dylan Harper has played so far in the NBA Summer League, Arenas thinks the Spurs might need to move De\u2019Aaron Fox.<\/p>\n Fox complicates their lineup choices massively, and Harper is showing that he can be a starter and develop with the right amount of minutes.<\/p>\n \u201cJust watching him [Dylan Harper] play, the mannerisms, the style, the speed, the poise, the passing ability? You got him. Castle is about 6\u20195 too? So you got your backcourt sitting around 6\u20195, 6\u20196.<\/p>\n \u201cBoth are athletic\u2026 Me right now, as a general manager, and I\u2019m watching them play and watching how he is moving? I don\u2019t know what I want to do with Fox.<\/p>\n \u201cBecause having them as the 1-2-3 doesn\u2019t even make sense to me anymore. Him coming off the bench? Doesn\u2019t even make sense to me.<\/p>\n \u201cIf I want this to be a championship team, I don\u2019t need no waiting period. I need them to get all of the minutes and learn how to be efficient now.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Victor Wembanyama has another athletic teammate in Carter Bryant<\/p>\n Arenas spoke further about the youth movement the Spurs have going, and he believes Carter Bryant is showing he can be the ideal athletic small forward to play alongside Victor Wembanyama.<\/p>\n \u201cWith Wemby, now you have Carter Bryant\u2026 You have that at your three. So instead of going guard-guard-guard, you got your guard-guard, both athletic, and your small forward, athletic as s***.<\/p>\n \u201cThen you\u2019ve got the power forward and your center? You\u2019re talking about a whole different team. I need him [Harper] and Castle to start playing today.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n![\"De'Aaron](\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/GettyImages-2199223125-947x627.jpg\")
