The second pick Harper was quite satisfactory. He played 25 minutes as a substitute, shooting 3 of 12 shots, 1 of 5 three-pointers, and scored 13 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists. Keldon Johnson played 19 minutes off the bench, making 4 of 7 shots, 0 of 1 three-point field goal, and 0 of 2 free throws. He scored 8 points and 10 rebounds.
