Bailey and Harper look toward an NBA future, but face questions about what went wrong at Rutgers

  • Rutgers players Ace Bailey and Dylan Harper are expected to be first-round selections in the 2025 NBA Draft, despite the team failing to qualify for the NCAA Tournament for a third straight year.
  • The team's 15-17 record and 11th-place Big Ten finish contributed to their NCAA absence despite Bailey averaging 17.6 points and 7.2 rebounds and Harper averaging 19.4 points.
  • Harper, who is the son of ex-NBA player Ron Harper, posted averages of 4.6 rebounds and 4.0 assists, while scouts highlight Bailey's athletic ability and scoring instincts as the draft approaches.
  • During their combine interviews, Bailey acknowledged that challenges are inevitable, while Harper expressed that he aims to bring both a positive attitude and the ability to take guidance to an NBA team.
  • Their draft status could boost Rutgers' basketball reputation despite recent struggles, and Harper might join the Spurs to play alongside Victor Wembanyama if selected at No. 12.
