Sure, a taller MM. I think he's already a better 3pt shooter. Can he get to 13 ppg off the bench, sure.

His defense last night was better than what I thought it would be at, better than pool around here would like to give him credit for at least.

We lost the game when he got pulled.

It should've been

FVV
Harris
Yuta
Pascal
Birch to close

Was it the Lakers game where he didn't contribute much? I liked his instincts, despite that. Off the catch if a shot wasn't available he'd immediately put the ball on the floor to seek a driving lane. In those situations he didn't force anything and would make the next pass. His sharp movement gave me the impression that he has confidence in his inbetween game. I'll guess we'll see.

He's interesting as a 3-level scorer with underrated athleticism. I wish he was a bit bigger physically. He's basically 6'2 190lbs with a 6'7 wingspan. I think he needs to add about 15 pounds of muscle without losing quickness to play SG.

obviously a ludicrously small sample but imo you can learn something about a shooter by the way their ball goes in. sometimes bad shooters can fool you by getting streaky, but if you watch closely, their shots are usually rattling in which isn't sustainable. i believe all of harris' makes from distance last night were nothing but net, which is a good sign and something to keep an eye on.

Kid gives me Lou William's vibes, which is not a bad thing at all.

IMO hes an NBA level player, and he had a pure scorers mentality, with a great skillset. How good he becomes depends on the rest of his game (defense, playmaking).

My thought exactly. Nurse brought in Stanley for Harris who can't hit open shots. This is when we lost control. Should have ridden the hot hand.

I think Jordan Clarkson is a good comp instead, with better shot selection, shooting % and hops!

And then he brought in Bembry when we were five points down.

Nurse is a smart guy. Why do you think he is doing this?

He's taking care of Stanley and Bembry so they can get contracts next year somewhere else. :nod:

He's 6'2 without shoes. 6'4 with shoes.

Yeah, but isn't everyone's height is usually stated with shoes?

Yes. People for some reason arbitrarily like to bring out the nine shoe stats randomly without acknowledging everyone’s heights are overstated the same way

Psubs · Post #95 » by **Psubs** » Thu May 6, 2021 1:41 pm

So he's essentially he's 6'3 and 6'4 with shoes. Which is seems fine as GPII is 6'2 and 6'3 in shoes from my photo posted.

Nice 6'7 wingspan.

Seems very right hand dominate and crouched or the ball or something? I’m not close to knowledgeable on such things but the way he dribbles seems an issue to me and I can’t imagine him changing direction ever.
Shot well, defended with energy so he’s not bad. Hopefully he develops.

Yeah when he was going to the basket, I was like "this guy is getting swatted". Though not exactly sure why.

Although it was against the Wizards, but his rotation and man defense has been alright.
I might have him over Watson for now, and his offense looks better than Flynn.

I like him as player and he could be third point guard but his offence is not better than Flynn. Harris' sample size is way too small to make that hail mary statement...

I haven't noticed - does Harris actually set up other guys? Is he really a PG, or yet another dime-a-dozen undersized 2?

Maybe Nurse is studying too much for his PhD to notice things like that. He then put in Bembry after the Raps went down 5 with two minutes to go.

Or, just maybe, Nurse wasn't coaching to win that game.
