Harris has developed a reputation as a defensive stopper and a complementary scorer, but midway through his third season he’s beginning to show he has higher scoring upside. Since January 22, the Nuggets guard is averaging 16.2 points with a 45.3 3-point percentage. Harris always had shooting ability going back to his sophomore season at Michigan State; the hurdle was extending his range, and he’s done that this season.

Harris is shooting 45.8 percent on catch-and-shoot 3s this season, per SportVU, which has helped open the floor for his explosive drives and one-dribble pull-ups from midrange. The Nuggets are trying to hold on to the 8-seed in the West, but without any title chances, development is still the important subplot of their season. The Nuggets are loaded with combo guards and traditional 2-guards, from Harris to Jamal Murray, Emmanuel Mudiay, Will Barton, and Malik Beasley. There’s a logjam at the position, and Harris is beginning to create separation. If this trend continues, it’ll provide clarity for the Nuggets front office when it comes to future personnel decisions; either Harris will become a more valuable trading asset, or it will allow the team to more willingly put its other young players on the table.

He's started getting 15 spg or thereabouts and IMO that is the minimum a starting NBA SG should be taking. He's not a greedy player and doesn't usually display a killer instinct (except on some of those monster jams) but I'd love to see him shooting around 20 spg.

He is hardworking with the right attitude and has been improving every year. Once he develops the ability to create out of nothing, he can be really good. Probably a smaller Jimmy Butler.
