Harper was named to the NBA All-Rookie First Team on Wednesday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Harper, the No. 2 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, averaged 11.8 points, 3.9 assists, 3.4 rebounds, 0.9 three-pointers, 0.8 steals and 0.3 blocks in 22.6 minutes per game while shooting 50.5 percent from the field over 69 games during his inaugural campaign. With De'Aaron Fox (ankle) and Stephon Castle serving as the Spurs' top options in the backcourt throughout the season, Harper was limited to just four starts, but the 20-year-old provided a glimpse of what kind of upside he might offer in a more featured role while he filled in for an injured Fox on the top unit during Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals. In the Spurs' 122-115 double-overtime win over the Thunder on Monday, Harper finished with 24 points, 11 rebounds, seven steals and six assists in 47 minutes.
