Dylan Harper is one of the best point guards I have ever scouted, and is the only prospect I can see having the potential to unseat Flagg as the #1 prospect in the draft. He is a great advantage creator, 3-level scorer, and passer. He has a big body for a lead guard and use that to his advantage on both ends of the court. He still has some work to do as a defender, but he already is capable of playing solid defense against multiple positions and has the upside to be really good on that end. He reminds me a lot of what Cade Cunningham was as a prospect, which should speak to how good of a basketball player he is. Harper has the potential to be one of the next great point guards in the league, and I am confident in ranking him this high.

Dylan Harper is one of 2 Rutgers players who could go top 3 in this upcoming NBA draft, he plays with a good skill set, with a feel for the game and some big time shot making ability. After watching some of Harper's highlights he loves to operate with the ball and is a 3 level scorer. He is not an elite athlete like Flagg or Bailey but he has a strong frame and is a big time offensive weapon who knows how to win. A clear threat for any team when on the court
Harper is known for overpowering defenders at the HS and College level, his power can help him absorb contact and finish at the rim. He isn't a pure high flyer, but rather turns to a skill and power based game, rather than SOLELY relying on pure athleticism
Dylan can play on or off the ball, he's a high level passer, court vision and good decision making is there.

Smooth, polished PG who has good size. Good basketball IQ and passes well. Solid shooter. Not very athletic or explosive, but is the best pure PG in the class and has a super high ceiling.

Harper has looked really decent so far. His scoring has been rather impressive and although his passing can be a bit lackluster, it’s still fine. Defensively he’s also done fine, and in general he’s just looked polished and useful out there. While I don’t think his potential is the highest, he’s looked good so far being the lead for that promising Rutgers team.

Good. At. Everything.
He looks like Tyrese Haliburton coming out of Iowa State. but I don't think he will become that kind of player. by that I mean more scoring. at the very minimum he could be a high tier bucket-getter for a good team.
