Is there a better person from whom to receive an endorsement than Steph Curry? In the case of the rising star and likely second overall pick Dylan Harper, I don't think there is.
In a recent press conference, future Hall of Fame point guard Steph Curry praised the soon-to-be rookie, complimenting several facets of his game and character.
Pro recognition is major đź‘€

Why are Spurs fans skeptical of Dylan Harper?
Despite the overwhelming talent of Rutgers standout Dylan Harper, many Spurs fans have detested the idea of selecting him with the second overall pick.
The main reason for the contradiction is that the Spurs already possess two great guards. Maximizing each of the guards' talents in the crowded backcourt will be uneasy. Skeptics believe that the Spurs won't be able to use all three at once and that one will either be benched or traded.
Further, the media questions whether Harper would be able to thrive on offense and stay afloat on defense along with De'Aaron Fox and Stephon Castle.
Not only this, but it has been mentioned that media members don't believe in Harper as a prospect, no matter the landing spot. They think he is not worthy of being the second overall pick in the draft and that the Spurs should look elsewhere.
Well, I and Curry would like to have a word.
Steph Curry knows what he's talking about
Through workouts with Harper, Curry confirmed all the great things we believed the young prospect had. How could you not believe the words of one of the best to ever do it?
It was pleasant to hear that Harper is more than just a talented player; he is dedicated, hard-working, and coachable. Being an NBA player is more than just what you can do on the court. All of the work to become a superstar happens behind the scenes, and now Curry has verified that Harper has what it takes to reach his highest goals.
The Spurs are ready to win now, and knowing that Harper is a fierce competitor and always looking to improve is exactly what we want to hear. Not only will the Rutgers product be a project for head coach Mitch Johnson to tinker with, but he will also be an asset for the Spurs as they push towards the playoffs next season.
Even more exciting, Curry mentions that Harper excelled at defending him. It is a challenge for anyone to guard the electric point guard, let alone a 19-year-old. Many question Harper's fit as a defender on the Spurs, but hearing this should soften those doubts.
I can't wait for Harper to be a Spur in just a few short weeks, and you should too. Please don't listen to the doubters; listen to one of the greatest to lace it up.
