Jared Harper played big at Auburn, now he'll get chance to catch on with Phoenix Suns

Jared Harper is on the smaller side.

He measured out to 5-foot-9 3/4 without shoes on (5-foot-11 with shoes) and 169.2 pounds at last month’s combine in Chicago, but Jared Harper played big at Auburn.

I saw him his first two college years in person while working in Montgomery, Ala. Harper is fearless.

He took clutch shots — made his share, too — and helped turn the Tigers into SEC champions and a Final Four team in his third and final year at Auburn.

Harper wasn’t drafted, but he’s signed with Phoenix as a rookie free agent and will be on its summer league roster, a move that’s surprising considering the number of point guards the Suns already have.
