Bryce Harris, a notable player from Howard University, has signed an undrafted free agent contract with the Oklahoma City Thunder to compete in the NBA Summer League. The announcement follows a pre-draft workout held by the Thunder. Harris, who was named MEAC Player of the Year, averaged 17.4 points and 6.7 rebounds per game last season, also earning recognition as a member of the BOXTOROW HBCU All-American First Team.

By the Numbers
  • 17.4 points per game - MEAC leading scorer
  • 6.7 rebounds per game - ranked highly in his conference
  • Over 1,500 career points and 700 career rebounds
Yes, But

While Harris has had significant success at Howard, competing in the NBA Summer League will be a major transition and test against more experienced players. His collegiate achievements may not fully translate to the professional level where competition is tougher.

State of Play
  • Harris participated in pre-draft workouts with the Oklahoma City Thunder.
  • The NBA Summer League is scheduled for July 9-19, providing Harris an immediate opportunity to showcase his skills.
What's Next

If Harris performs well during the Summer League, he may secure a spot on the Thunder's roster or attract attention from other teams, shaping his professional basketball future significantly.

Bottom Line

Harris’s career at Howard has laid a strong foundation; however, his future in the NBA hinges on his performance in the Summer League. Success here could enhance his prospects and solidify his journey from college standout to professional athlete.
