In a fascinating turn of events during the NBA Summer League, G League sensation David Jones-Garcia has proven his mettle, scoring an impressive 23 points per game in the absence of Dylan Harper, the Spurs' third overall pick. After Harper's return, both managed to shine, contributing significantly to the team's victory against the Mavericks. Jones-Garcia's performance off the bench, alongside Harper's debut contribution, has opened discussions about potential contracts and roles for each player as they vie for positions on the Spurs' roster.

While Harper, a highly-touted rookie, is expected to command significant playing time, Jones-Garcia’s consistent production and versatility may give him an edge in securing a roster spot. Even though rookie Carter Bryant has struggled, the competition remains fierce as Jones-Garcia aims to showcase his skills in the final Summer League games, potentially solidifying a two-way contract or more with the Spurs or another team looking for backcourt depth.
