Dylan Harper Appreciation

[BillyC80]

What can you say? The guy willed us to victory.

True freshman in his first 6 college games is averaging 22 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists and only 2 turnovers per game.

A guard who is shooting 64% from 2-point range and 54% overall (31% from 3) so far, not to mention a decent 71% from the FT line, comes up with 36 points in a huge spot for our team early in the season.

And in a pivotal moment when he was being keyed on defensively, he finds an open JWill for maybe the most important 3-point shot of the game.

Hats off to that young man, making us all proud (as his dad was) last night.

Best freshman in the country, one of the best players in the country.
10 year NBA starter.

If he had a complimentary player to share the ball with, we’d be very good offensively.

Maybe Acuff can be our Alloco!

 

[RUJMM78]

Harper clearly is one of the best guards in college basketball because he can create an make shots off the dribble.

 

[Scarlet Blind]

Dylan is 37-47 78.7% in close 2s(within 5 feet).
The rest of the team 60-98 61.2%

Dylan has an uncanny touch around the basket. It’s like everything he puts up wants to go in.

Not so subtle dig at Ace there

Not so subtle dig at Ace there

He's been absolutely hammering Ace. It's tiresome frankly after the first two times or so.

 

[Shell21]

amazing stat considering the amount of time he has the ball in his hand and his usage rate

Dylan is a special player. Makes it look effortless. Only poor decision last night IMO was to pull up for 3 at the end of regulation rather than driving to basket.

We’re discussing individual achievement and team success.
What are you seeing?
I didn’t mention his name or allude to him…lol

I've been saying the same on how Dylan makes everything look so effortless. The dude is a legit stud and just a special player I've never seen before here at Rutgers.

Lol I'm talking about the game thread.

After what feels like an eternity of watching anyone in a Rutgers uniform fail to convert at the rim, watching Dylan brings a tear to my eye.

He’s not satisfied with just getting to the rim or anticipating a foul call like many guys.

Knows the idea is to score and he’s laser focused on that.

 

[BOCA93]

RU hasn’t had a player who could get a bucket at will like that since Douby. Its insane to think that Harper is only 6 games into his career.

ONE CAN DREAM... TEAM SUCCESS WILL LIKELY PROPEL THAT POSSIBILITY BUT IF WE ARE A 500 CLUB AND MISS THE TOURNAMENT IT WOULD BE UNLIKELY

Harper makes everyone on the court better. All of the other players need to hit the open 3s when he gets them the ball.
Once Ace gets going, and he will get going, this team will score a lot of points.
The 5 position needs to play defense, box out and rebound.

Him finding JWill for that open 3 might be a turning point.

Dylan saying, I trust my guys to bury those shots in critical moments, gives confidence to his teammates, and JWill needed that boost of confidence there.

We’re becoming a team, with leaders, role-players, and clutch playmakers.

Reminds me of Phil The Thrill.
