The San Antonio Spurs have been added to the roster after being impressed by the NBA Summer League standout.
The San Antonio Spurs are a very well set up franchise, not just this season, but also future seasons.
The Spurs drafted Dylan Harper this year, marking the third consecutive top five pick in the NBA draft in the last three years.
Many feel that adding Harper has begun the Spurs timeline to become a competitive team. So, one NBA legend told Victor Wenbagnama to adapt his upcoming game.
The Spurs may have to deal with the situation with Dearon Fox. Currently, we have three starting level security guards and no one will benefit from a stint from the bench.
But rather than making some moves to get rid of Fox and other players, the Spurs actually added another star that was impressed in Las Vegas.
Shams Charania reported yesterday that the San Antonio Spurs have agreed to a two-way deal with David Jones Garcia, who had a great summer league performance.
After averaging 21.6 points per game while shooting 53% from across the ARC, Jones Garcia is taking advantage of his incredible tournament, where he won first-team honors in the all-summer league.
“David Jones-Garcia – All-Summer League first-team breakout guard – has agreed to a two-way NBA deal with the San Antonio Spurs.
“Gersh Sports agents Deirunas Visockas and Guillermo Bermejo tell ESPN. Jones Garcia appeared on the Spurs this month (53% in 22 ppg, 6 rpg, 3s).
A quick peek into the NBA Summer League statistics shows that David Jones Garcia had a much better tournament than Dylan Harper.
The table below shows statistics for the summer league.
Player/Statistics Category | The game has been played | point | rebound | assist | I’ll steal | block |
Dylan Harper | 2 | 16 | 4.0 | 2.0 | 1.0 | 0.5 |
David Jones Garcia | 5 | 21.6 | 6.2 | 3.8 | 1.2 | 0.0 |
Yes, Harper has played in just two games compared to the five games Jones Garcia did and hasn’t gotten much of a play opportunity.
However, given the caliber of the players, the pure contrast of their statistics is very noteworthy. However, don’t take this as a sign that Jones Garcia will play more time than Harper.
The level of basketball I played in the summer league wasn’t as high as the NBA. However, he will have a chance with the Spurs with a few points next season.
