Rutgers Scarlet Knights senior Ron Harper Jr. has been reportedly invited to compete in the 2022 NBA draft combine, according to Adam Zagoria of NJ Advance Media.
The draft combine will run May 16-22 and feature executives and scouts from all 30 teams in Chicago, Illinois. Teams each year submit a list of the players they would like to see invited, typically those with the highest odds of getting drafted.
69 players were invited to the draft combine last year.
Harper, the son of five-time NBA champion Ron Harper, was named an All-American honorable mention after averaging a career-high 15.8 points, 5.9 rebounds, 1.9 assists and one steal. He finished with 1,525 career points, tied with Roy Hinson for 12th all-time in Rutgers history.

Harper is projected to be a second-round pick given his ability as a scorer and shooter. He shot 39.8% from 3-point range this season and hit two game-winning shots. He also had a game-tying shot in regulation versus Notre Dame in an overtime loss in the First Four.
The NBA draft will take place on June 23.
