2025 NBA Mock Draft: Dylan Harper ends up in second place with Bucks when Giannis Antetokounmpo was traded against Spurs

A loud night at the NBA draft lottery 2025 in Chicago in the early this month The Dallas Mavericks and San Antonio Spurs have stopped No. 1 and No. 2 in this year's draftWhen flash, turn the top of the design on the head. But the Fallout of Dallas, which moved 10 places and San Antonio over six places from their Prelottery positions, could be widespread and take years before they developed.

How this fateful lottery not only affects the MAVs and spores is immediately and long -term, but the rest of the NBA quickly became a scuttlebutt in league circles.

The only certainty is currently that Dallas Cooper Flag makes number 1. With Flagg A -100,000 favorites, which is selected in the design of Fanduel Sportsbooks No. 1, this is hardly a brave prediction.

In addition, San Antonio has a menu of options that go beyond gluing and selection. Previously: It has said publicly that it will keep the choice and does not buy it. However, there is no incentive for Spurs Brass to dangle the fortune and to announce that he is on the market – generally assumed that it is very, very valuable, given the fact, how high Dylan Harper is viewed to press his perceived value.

The truth is as follows: San Antonio has an emerging star in the rookie of the year Guard Stephon Castle and it also acted against De'aaron Fox. This is a very good and deep return trip. Adding Harper to this mix could complicate things.

I do not doubt that San Antonio would be enthusiastic to add him to the young core to be clear. He is a very good view. And I think it is problematic to take another player who fits better instead of the best view. (So ​​take Marvin Bagley III about a Luka Doncic. Sorry, King's fans.)

But I am skeptical, San Antonio is at least not noodles over other options that contain trade – or the trade in total.

Enter 6-foot 11 Giannis Antetocounmpo.

In my first bill after the NBA design of last week, I have the Spurs in a blockbuster deal packaging, including No. 2 and No. 14 to land the 30-year-old former MVP winner and nine-time all-star from The Bucks. There would be a number of picks and players who went Milwaukees as compensation. It would take a lot and whether San Antonio believes that it would be worth it remains to be seen. Again: San Antonio said publicly that it is planning to keep the choice. In this case, I believe that Harper would be the selection.

But the idea of ​​combining Giannis alongside a true superstar in Victor Wembanyama is an attraction that could and should be difficult to reject. Only a few teams have the draft and the roster so that it is worth it from Milwaukee. San Antonio has that. And it could be a rare chance for the goats to reset and be compensated for their problems at the same time.

We come to the appearance.
