Dylan Harper is officially the last man standing.
The 2025 NBA Draft will go down as an incredible year top-to-bottom.
More than half the first-round picks played extensive roles on their selective teams.
Even several second-rounders had huge impacts.
But the top of the lottery will be remembered for years.
Cooper Flagg is a generational player.
Kon Knueppel may be the heir apparent to Steph Curry when it comes to three-point shooting.
VJ Edgecombe has superstar written all over him.
But none of them are still playing.
Dylan Harper is.
And Dylan Harper is playing his best ball when it matters the most, in the second round of the playoffs.
He may not have been the sexiest pick in the Top 4, but it's hard to argue how important he's been to the ascent of the Spurs.
As we speak, only 3 first-rounders are still playing.
Harper, teammate Carter Bryant, and Wolves center Joan Beringer, who's played all of 15 minutes in the postseason.
Flagg, Knueppel and Edgecombe may eventually become some of the best players in the league, piling up All-Star berths along the way.
But Harper is the odds-on favorite to win the first ring.
