As the Philadelphia 76ers anxiously wait to know their draft fate in 2025--their pick is top 6 protected--they do know there will be plenty of options for them to choose from in this talented draft class.Rutgers star Dylan Harper, for example, could be an option for the Sixers if the lottery lands them the No. 2 pick in the draft.
Duke star Cooper Flagg will be the No. 1 pick, but Harper will certainly be a fantastic pickup after a strong season with the Scarlet Knights.In fact, a pro scout gave his thoughts on Harper in an interview with HoopsHype comparing him to an All-Star guard:A pro scout told HoospHype: “Gives me lefty Cade Cunningham vibes –plays at his own pace, lulling defenders to sleep before turning it on.
Might have the highest creation ceiling in this class, even over Flagg. Not a freak athlete but so crafty finishing through contact. That jumper’s the big question – if it comes around, we’re talking All-NBA potential.
”Harper averaged 19.4 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 4.
0 assists while shooting 48.4% from the floor and 33.3% from deep.
He is fantastic off the dribble and can take players to the basket, but he will need to work on that jump shot in order to give himself the best chance to be a star in this league. Either way, if the Sixers were to select him, he would be a terrific pickup for a team in need of young talent.
