Dylan Harper produced 16 points and four assists in the first half while starting for San Antonio against Atlanta in preseason. The Athletic’s report on NBA.com says coach Mitch Johnson initially planned to pair him with De’Aaron Fox and Stephon Castle, before Fox was rested for workload management. Harper made three of five three-pointers, highlighting progress in his perimeter shooting. Johnson has not confirmed the experiment as the Spurs’ permanent starting lineup for the coming season.
