Basketball Ron & Dylan Harper / Ace Bailey - NBA Thread

[LotusAggressor_rivals]

And yet it worked out well for Dylan and Ace.

It would have worked out wherever they went. It would have taken galactically bad coaching to tank their draft stock.

True, and you could probably say the same about most players in the NBA today.

Then you have RHJ, who thrived at RU enough to be seen as an eventual NBA player. To a lesser degree Cam also benefited from playing on a larger stage at RU before eventually going to the NBA after UConn.

My point is that any negativity about the Dylan/Ace year would be a reflection on Pike more than RU.

Yes, we lacked funding and leadership in the athletic department that year, but those things have largely been addressed by the university.

Im gonna beat that dead horse. But pikiell not being able to finish OVER .500 with ace and dylan shouldve been a moment that forced him to retire.

Hobbs banging his girl friend did not help.

49 years of Rutgers sports being so important to me
I already hate Rutgers basketball in 8 mins

 

[BillyC80]

Dylan crushing it tonight, already with 10 points, 2 rebounds, and a steal in the first quarter.

 

[shields]

Look more athletic Spurs.

 

[ScarletteK80]

Dylan est en fuego, JFC I wanted him to do well but not single handedly beat my Knicks.

 

[Tango Two]

Look more athletic Spurs.

+1

Harper is big boying the Knicks guards.

 

[ScarletteK80]

76 all end of 3.

 

[Degaz-RU]

This game is insane.

 

[LotusAggressor_rivals]

Brunson is an offensive machine.

 

[LotusAggressor_rivals]

Enough with the shots of the Knick fans already.

 

[Tango Two]

Spurs down

 

[LotusAggressor_rivals]

Brunson is a closer.

Harper 16 points off the bench in the loss…

 

[ScarletteK80]

Marv, YES!!! Breen, BANG!

 

[RUfan1977]

Harper 16 points off the bench in the loss…

Not unlike his time at Rutgers when he played great and Rutgers lost. Rooting for the Knicks to win and Harper to play well. So far so good!

 

[Smols]

This. I was rooting for the Spurs to lose. I don’t think this is a positive for RU. Happy for Dylan, but perhaps the worst case scenerio for RU perception. Kratch isn’t wrong in this case:

NBA Finals is going to be a tough look for Rutgers

NBA Finals is going to be a tough look for Rutgers first appeared on Elite Sports NY, the Voice, the Pulse of New York City sports.

Happy for Dylan, but no, this isn’t really a win win. The timing is actually pretty bad. RU does not look good here. The dust was finally settling on the 2024-25 disaster and now the media is going to encore the whole thing. The fact that it’ll be happening at the Garden is just the icing on the cake.

I merely said it was a win win for me. Also I haven’t heard anything but good from the tv media.
