Entering the 2025 NBA Draft Lottery, the San Antonio Spurs sat with the No. 8 odds to capture the No. 1 pick in the NBA Draft. On Monday, they leaped into the top-two and will now be selecting in the top-four for the third-straight season. Two possible plans have opened for San Antonio with the No. 2 pick. Immediately, rumors spread about the possibility of a Giannis Antetokounmpo<\/a> trade. However, the opportunity to stick with the No. 2 pick and select a prospect is also on the table.<\/p>\n

Spurs’ Plan to Select Dylan Harper With No. 2 Pick<\/h2>\n

Deserted Trade Pursuits<\/h3>\n

According to ESPN’s Jonathan Givony, trade pursuits have dried out and the Spurs have their eyes set on Rutgers guard Dylan Harper<\/a> with the No. 2 pick with the idea he can fit with De’Aaron Fox<\/a> and Stephon Castle<\/a>.<\/p>\n

ESPN draft expert says he's "99.9%" sure that Dylan Harper will be selected 2nd overall by the Spurs:<\/p>\n

"They are not pursuing trades from what we're hearing. They think that they can play Harper together with Steph Castle and De'Aaron Fox in the same backcourt" pic.twitter.com\/7XC8GkwunK<\/a><\/p>\n
