Former Rutgers star Ron Harper Jr. scored his first NBA points with the Toronto Raptors Wednesday night in a loss to the Brooklyn Nets.
Harper connected on a 3-pointer following a kickout. Hopefully, that’s one of many for the former Rutgers guard.

Harper spent 4 years at Rutgers, with his senior and junior years standing out. He was a proficient 3-point shooter in his time in Piscataway, draining just under 40% of his shots from downtown last season.
Harper was a 2nd team All-B1G selection, but went undrafted in the 2022 NBA Draft.
