Set Atlantic Coast Conference freshman record with 42 points against Notre Dame. Turns 19 in December.
Scouting report: Freshman lefty who thrived as scorer (19.4) and lead ballhandler with two-way potential. Notably scored 36 points against Notre Dame, then 37 a day later against then-No. 9 Alabama in November. Averaged 4.0 assists and 1.4 steals. Son of former NBA guard Ron Harper. Couldn't lift Rutgers to a winning record despite playing with fellow top prospect Ace Bailey. Turned 19 in March.
