Signed! Son of the NBA Five-Crown Championship! Officially joining the Celtics

On August 17, according to NBA reporter Michael Scotto, Ron Harper Jr. joined the Celtics. Ron Harper Jr. is the eldest son of Bulls celebrity Ron Harper and the older brother of Dylan Harper, the new Spurs star. Ron Harper Jr. signed the Exhibit 10 contract, which is simply a training camp contract.

There are not much news in the NBA recently, and everyone’s focus is on the Asian Cup. Today I will talk about the Harper family. Ron Harper Jr. was born on April 12, 2000. He is 1.93 meters tall and has a wingspan of 2.16 meters. If you play No. 1, this static talent is quite outstanding. Unfortunately, Ron Harper Jr. is a forward swinger, sometimes playing at the 3rd position and sometimes at the 4th position.

Ron Harper Jr. played at Rutgers University for four years, averaging 7.8 points, 3.1 rebounds and 1.1 assists in his freshman season, and his three shooting percentages were: 41.3%, 29.8%, and 67.9%. Senior (2021-22) averaged 15.8 points, 5.9 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1 steal per game, with three shooting percentages: 44.2%, 39.8%, and 79.5%.

Ron Harper Jr. has good data, but unfortunately his dynamic talent is too poor. In addition, he is 22 years old and has lost the 2022 NBA Draft. In the summer of 2022 and summer of 2023, the Raptors gave him two two-way contracts. Ron Harper Jr. has only played 9 games in the NBA, averaging 6.3 minutes per game, scoring 2.2 points and 1.3 rebounds.

Ron Harper Jr.'s real stage is in the Development League. In the past three seasons, he has played a total of 57 games in the Development League, including 49 starts. Average 32.1 minutes per game, he can score 17.4 points, 4.8 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1 steal, 0.9 blocks and 1.8 turnovers, with three shooting percentages: 47%, 38%, 81.7%.

Next, let's take a look at their dad, Ron Harper, born on January 20, 1964, 1.98 meters tall, and the first round No. 8 show in 1986. In his rookie season, Harper averaged 22.9 points, 4.8 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 2.5 steals and 1 block per game with the Cavaliers, which was the peak of his debut. In the first eight seasons of his career, Harper averaged more than 18 points per game in seven seasons. In the summer of 1994, the Bulls signed Harper in the free market and his data showed a significant decline. In the 1994-95 season, he averaged only 6.9 points, 2.3 rebounds and 2 assists per game. When Jordan returns, Harper finds his position and becomes the championship puzzle. He won three consecutive championships with the Bulls, and later won two championships with the OK combination in the Lakers!

When Ron Harper was 42 years old, in 2006, his youngest son Dylan Harper was born. Dylan Harper's naked foot is 1.94 meters tall, with a wingspan of 2.10 meters, and a running and jumping start of 92.71 cm. As a point guard, Dylan Harper's static and dynamic talents are top notch. So he is also the one with the highest draft pick in this family!

Like his brother, Dylan Harper also plays at Rutgers University. In his freshman season, Dylan Harper averaged 19.4 points, 4.6 rebounds, 4 assists, 1.4 steals, 0.6 blocks and 2.4 turnovers, with three shooting percentages: 48.4%, 33.3%, 75%. Having said that, it may be difficult for Dylan Harper to win five championships in the NBA.

Who else can you think of a player like Harper who has played in the NBA?
