Michigan State Men’s Basketball Defensive Game Plan: How to Guard Ron Harper Jr.

Following the Marcus Carr piece, we will take a look at Ron Harper Jr., the leading scorer for the upstart Rutgers Scarlet Knights program. Rutgers is currently 7-2 (3-2 in Big Ten play). The Scarlet Knights sit at 14th in the latest AP Poll. Rutgers will travel to East Lansing on Jan. 5 for the top-25 matchup.

Harper’s game is very different from his father’s (that guy who played a little for the Chicago Bulls). While his father only had one season where he made at least one three-pointer per game, the son already has three college seasons in which he has met that threshold.
