Jalen Harper’s a versatile, high-upside URI guard who’s still finding his scoring rhythm
In the 2025-26 season, Rhode Island freshman guard Jalen Harper played in 26 games and averaged 2.6 points, 1.8 rebounds, and 11.7 minutes per game, with a summer feature noting a position change helped him see the whole game better. Harper’s appeal is the 6-foot-3 frame, rebound-and-create flashes from the guard spot, and a disruptive edge that hints at more value than the box score shows. He looks like a fit for teams that want length, energy, and multi-role upside, but he’s still developing as a consistent shooter and scorer.
