Maluach has been in the news lately, following his declaration for the NBA draft. He is coming off a brilliant season with Duke, as he averaged 8.6 points, 6.8 rebounds and 0.5 assists per game in his freshman year.

What does Blake Harper bring to the Creighton Bluejays?

Acquiring Blake Harper is good business for the Creighton Bluejays after they lost Pop Isaac, Frederick King and Mason Miller. The Gonzaga High School graduate already showed what he can offer last season with his impressive numbers.

The 6-foot-8 guard is coming off an impressive season with the Howard Bison, as he put up 19.5 points, 6.2 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game. Harper was quite an efficient shooter, as he shot 44.7% from the field and 40.4% from behind the arc.

Although Howard Bison finished with a 12-20 overall record, Harper was named the MEAC Player of the Year last season.

Harper is also a great ball handler and can set up plays for his teammates. Aside from Harper, Creighton has also added Austin Swartz, Josh Dix, Owen Freeman and Nik Graves, and these players will look to shine in the NCAA next season.

The Bluejays ended last season second in the Big East with a 25-11 record. They were also knocked out of the NCAA Tournament in the second round. However, Coach McDermott will be hoping that his new roster will give him good results.
