In Tuesday night’s game between Rutgers and Notre Dame at the Players Era festival, freshman Dylan Harper looked the part of a future NBA star.

Harper did absolutely everything on the offensive end of the court, scoring 36 points on 12-for-22 shooting. He connected on two of his six triples, adding six rebounds and six assists.

With the ball in his hands, Harper reflected so many talented NBA guards with his scoring ability, awareness and basketball IQ. He made tough shots, darted to the paint with ease, connected on long but seamless triples and more. Overall, it was one of the most impressive performances of any prospect to date.

Rutgers ultimately won in overtime due to Harper’s heroics, with the Scarlet Knights continuing a heavy dose of the jumbo guard in a heated overtime period.

His opponent Ace Bailey saw a tougher shooting night early on, but still managed to add 10 points, including the late go-ahead goal in regulation.

Should Harper continue to produce at his current level — which stood at 19.8 points, 5.2 assists and 5.0 rebounds on 54% shooting against the Fighting Irish — he’ll likely be a shoo-in as a top -two selection alongside Duke’s Cooper Flagg.

According to NBA Draft on SI’s previous scouting report on Harper: “As a scorer, Harper is deadly inside the arc as a driver and mid-range scorer. Continued improvement from beyond the arc as a shooter will be key, but at least he’s a solid 3-point shooter today. In the meantime, Harper can generate buckets for himself at any point along the way, whether it’s all the way to the rim or stopping and scoring in the midrange.

The Scarlet Knights next take on No. 9 Alabama tomorrow in their toughest test of the season so far.
