In the latest NBA mock draft from Yahoo! Sports, Rutgers basketball forward Ron Harper Jr. is off the board late in the second round.
The mock draft has Harper being taken No. 58 overall to the Cleveland Cavaliers. Krysten Peek writes about Harper and what he brings to Cleveland as a second-round pick:
“He’s not afraid of the big moment and has a decent first step off the wing to get past defenders. Harper averaged 15.8 points and 5.9 rebounds per game this past season.”
Harper will go down as one of the best players in Rutgers men’s basketball history. He has been a clutch player almost from the get-go and has grown tremendously into not just a leader but also as a player capable of making big shots in big moments.

He has good length and is a tremendous defender. Harper brings some positional versatility as he can play at the ‘two’ or the ‘three’ but can also defend some bigger forwards as well.
