Dylan Harper has declared for the 2025 NBA draft, leaving Rutgers after his freshman season. Harper is the projected No. 2 pick in the draft.
“I’ll remember all the life lessons this season,” Harper told ESPN. “The ups and downs and good and bad. Staying leveled.”
Harper averaged 19.4 points, 4.6 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.4 steals while shooting 33.3 percent on three-pointers and 75.0 percent from the free throw line.
Harper’s game has drawn comparisons to James Harden.
“NBA teams saw I am an all-around player,” Harper sad. “I can do whatever it takes to win. Whether it’s score, defend or facilitate. Anything coach needs me to do.”
