Just off that basis alone it sounds like there's potential for him to be able to create his own shot. Of course it's not there (as the report says) but there's grounds for it, although rarely do I trust NBAdraft's word on things. Would anyone who has watched him play like to chime on in this?

He should be an athletic SF who can rebound, finish baskets on the break and should be a good motor and defensive effort guy. He probably needs to shoot better to be a long term starter but I think his rebounding and athleticism make him a guaranteed NBA player. He doesn't have quite the ball skills, IQ or shooting of MKG but I'd easily rather have him 20th than MKG 2nd
Harkless is on my shortlist for players that could be ranked outside of the top 20 2 weeks before the draft and then all of a sudden is going 7th or 8th because teams like players who are young and athletic and project as contributing to more of a defense/rebounding culture. It wouldn't surprise me at all if he goes above Harrison Barnes

KN: Can you tell me more about your pre-draft workout routine? Tell me about an average Moe Harkless training day.
Moe Harkless: I wake up in the morning around 7:45 and go to eat breakfast. Then, the first thing to do is check with a trainer every morning and get weighed-in and if you have any injuries or anything then you get treatment. Our first workout is on the field. It's movement and speed training from nine until 11. Then, we go on the court from 11:30 until 12:45 or one o'clock and work on ball handling and stuff on the court, basically. Then, we eat lunch and normally we'll be back around four o'clock for mental training and vision training. Then, at five o'clock we have weights and at 6:30 we are on the court again until 7:45 or eight o'clock. After that, the day is pretty much over. I just relax until the next day.
KN: That's 12 hours every day?
Moe Harkless: Yeah, except for on Wednesday, when we do movement in the morning and basketball at night.
