Dylan Harper, a standout point guard with exceptional skills, has officially declared for the 2025 NBA draft. Harper has a unique stature in the game at 6-foot-6. His court vision and advanced pull-up shooting notably drew comparisons from many in NBA circles to a young James Harden. This season, Harper has shown that his impressive skills translate. He averaged 19.4 points, 4.6 rebounds, 4.0 assists, and 1.4 steals per game, cementing his accolades as a dynamic and versatile player.
Indeed, Harper’s stunning production catapulted him to third-team All-Big Ten and the all-freshman team. His ability to create shots, craft passes and finish plays with finesse was key to his gaudy stats. Throughout the season, he knocked down an eye-watering 50 three-pointers in just 29 games. On top of that, he had a great shooting percentage at 57% on his two-point tries. Perhaps an even better mark of Harper’s free-throw prowess can be found in his efficiency — he averaged 5.8 attempts per game.
He made history on the court during his time at Rutgers, breaking the freshman scoring record. He placed fifth in the Big Ten in scoring. Harper’s accomplishments have turned him into a hot prospect for the 2024 NBA draft.
