A lot falls on the shoulders of top picks in the NBA draft. They instantly become a landmark piece of the franchise that made their dreams come true. Plus, they earn rookie scale contracts worth tens of millions.
With some lottery luck, the San Antonio Spurs got the No. 2 pick in the 2025 NBA draft to select another player to pair alongside 21-year-old phenom and '23 top pick Victor Wembanyama. The Spurs chose Rutgers guard Dylan Harper as the No. 2 pick in last month's draft, which netted him a four-year, $56 million rookie deal.
