"Admir is a
high-level player. He has worked tirelessly on transitioning to the
speed of the college game, and it was only a matter of time before he
found his groove and had a statement game," said Harper head coach Justin Welke.
In
11 games this year, Suljic is averaging 16.4 PPG, 4.5 RPG, and 2.2 SPG.
The freshman is shooting 47.5 percent (28-of-59) from 3-point

dependable and committed; he never takes a day off and always finds a
way to balance and prioritize," Welke said. "Both athletically and
academically, he embodies what the Harper basketball program is all
about."
