certainly there's a big list of things going on that i'd consider to be much more of an impact on the loss than his scoring. i'd consider his 0 points in that game to be an afterthought, all things considered.

but it seems you think i'm talking about him as a key factor for the loss. i'm saying that involving harkless is not the same as relying on him as a key offensive cog. but at the same time, involving him is one of the little things that's going to help the team be better overall.

Mo Harkless is a hole-filler, an opportunist-scorer (put back tip-ins, broken plays, open shots, clear lanes). He should never have a play run for him.

Mo Harkless' erratic 3pt% history:
2020 - 33.3%
2019 - 27.5%
2018 - 41.5%
2017 - 35.1%
2016 - 27.9%
2015 - 17.9%
2014 - 38.3%
2013 - 27.4%

Harkless' offensive contribution = Offensive Lineman getting a 1st down/scoring a TD off of a fumble recovery. You'll take it, but you don't want to get it that way.

Someone explain WHY Landry Shamet is setting screens (causing a Turnover) while Mo Harkless is nestled in the corner.

What is the thought process there?!?

Funny thing I just noticed...
On BBall-Reference' "Advanced Box Score Stats," Harkless' Offensive Rating in this game was 237... Two-Three-Seven (no typo). Shamet was 2nd with 151. Harkless' USG% was 0.0 :o

I don't know what to make of that, but anyway.

not sure who you're arguing with about having plays run for him.

i don't think anywhere here is advocating that.
