Dylan Harper confident in hot shooting hand entering Spurs opener

sports.yahoo.com —

San Antonio Spurs guard Dylan Harper says he is "very confident" in his outside shot entering Tuesday's season opener against the Oklahoma City Thunder after shooting 57.1% from 3-point range during the preseason. The 20-year-old second-year pro, drafted No. 2 overall in 2025, led the Spurs in preseason scoring with a 14.8 average. He improved from last season's 34.3% 3-point shooting and 11.8 points per game after working on his perimeter game all summer. Coach Mitch Johnson praised Harper's maturation and habit-building. The Spurs need his deep shooting to space the floor for their new three-guard lineup featuring De'Aaron Fox and Stephon Castle alongside Victor Wembanyama.
