Darius Harper brings old-school interior size, but his Miami (OH) impact was limited
In the 2017-18 season, Miami (OH) center Darius Harper offered true post size at 6-8 and 290 pounds, plus enough physicality to earn 14 starts and log 30 appearances for the RedHawks[1][10]. His game was more about bulk, rebounding effort, and rim presence than scoring pop: he averaged 2.9 points and 2.1 rebounds in 12.0 minutes that season, with a season-high 10 points and 8 rebounds against Bowling Green[1][10]. He also came from a football background, which helps explain the rugged, contact-heavy style that made him a useful matchup body rather than a featured offensive weapon[1][14].
