Rutgers G Dylan Harper declares for NBA draft

dylan harper

Rutgers guard Dylan Harper, widely projected to be the No. 2 pick after Duke’s Cooper Flagg, officially declared for the 2025 NBA Draft on Monday.

Harper made his intentions known on ESPN’s “NBA Today,” but he was always expected to spend a single season in college before moving on to the pros.

A New Jersey native and brother of former Rutgers forward Ron Harper Jr., Dylan Harper chose the Scarlet Knights over Auburn, Duke, Indiana and Kansas.

Harper played in 29 games (28 starts), missing time in January due to illness and an ankle injury. He averaged team highs of 19.4 points, 4.0 assists and 1.4 steals along with 4.6 rebounds and was named third-team All-Big Ten.

“NBA teams saw I am an all-around player,” Harper said on ESPN. “I can do whatever it takes to win. Whether it’s score, defend or facilitate. Anything Coach needs me to do.”

Rutgers went 15-17 and missed the NCAA Tournament despite having Harper and another projected lottery pick, guard/forward Ace Bailey.

Harper is 6-foot-6 combo guard and the son of former NBA standout Ron Harper.
