The youth movement for the San Antonio Spurs got a boost anew on Wednesday night, as they used their No. 2 pick in the 2025 NBA draft on Rutgers Scarlet Knights product Dylan Harper. The son of five-time NBA champion guard Ron Harper, Dylan gives San Antonio more hope that it can soon reclaim the glory they used to enjoy during the days of Tim Duncan, Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili.

The Spurs are still far from that goal, but with Victor Wembanyama and Dylan Harper, they have a potentially era-defining duo to get them there.

Meanwhile, Ron just wants to know where the best cigar bar is in San Antonio after learning his son's NBA draft landing spot. There's a reason Ron would be interested in finding a good cigar spot in San Antonio, and it's not just because one of his sons is now a Spur. Among the things that keep Ron busy of late is the cigar business, having partnered with Luciano Meirelles of Luciano Cigars in 2024.

“@spurs where’s the best cigar bar in San Antonio?” the former Chicago Bulls star said in a post on X (formerly Twitter).

That simple query has since garnered lots of reactions from fans online.

“Let’s gooooo! Excited for the legendary Harper family to join San Antonio. Nothing but respect and love!” said a fan on X.

Another one said: “Great question, ripping cigars like a gentleman.”
