Rutgers’ big-bodied bucket-getter with star upside
In the 2024-25 season, Dylan Harper was Rutgers’ engine, averaging 19.4 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 4.0 assists while shooting 48.4% from the field and setting the program’s freshman scoring record with 564 points.[1][11][15] What makes him special isn’t just the numbers: he’s a powerful 6-6 guard who gets downhill, finishes through contact, and creates for others, giving him legitimate lead-guard value and NBA-style versatility.[12][14] The downside is that his jump shooting was streaky, but his intensity, size, and rim pressure make him the kind of high-usage creator a roster can build around.[12][14]
