This player gets better everytime I watch him and is a menace on the court. Hes a bit small but in a uptempto style he would be really effective with his athleticism and strength. Anyone else think he's underrated?.

No doubt that he's underrated. The only problem I see is his three point shooting. He's only taken 21 shots from behind the arc and is still only shooting 28 percent

I've been high on Harris for a very long time. I want him on my team for sure.

Harris reminds me of a short Ricky Davis.

That too...but, no, Harris just strikes me as a guy who has never met a shot he didn't like, and the more show offy the better, regardless of whether it's a good idea or not. Don't get me wrong, he's got a lot of talent but a team player he most definitely is not. Pretty much every Syracuse game I've watched once the ball goes to Harris it's not coming back out. To a lesser extent the same can be said about Harris backcourt partner. But guys appear to be much more interested in their stats than getting the other guys involved.

I don't think his problem is his passing. I mean, 3.4 assists from the wing isn't too shabby, it's his control issues. He plays way too fast for himself sometimes and turns the ball over entirely too much.

I actually think he's a great passer. Plays super hard too. I'm not sure he's the smartest player in the world.

There was a sequence against Georgetown last week where he got a rebound off a missed free throw by Cuse late in the game and up by around 9. Rather than burn clock, he attempted to pretty much hurdle a Georgetown guy for a dunk, and got called for a charge. And about 40 seconds later, as he walked the ball down, undefended, he picked up a 10 second violation. It was...bad.

I like Harris's game overall. But that jumper - he has a ways to go still.

I like Harris a lot. He's never going to be a top level scorer, but he has some great attributes.

He's a good passer, outstanding rebounder for his size. Very good defender, and always puts in tons of effort. Great athlete too. Offensively he's at his best posting up defenders, but obviously that'll be tougher in the NBA with bigger and stronger players

On the down side, he's undersized for a SF, probably his ideal position at the next level. He could certainly play some SG. Obviously his outside shooting needs tremendous work.

He'd be a great NFL wide receiver if the NBA thing doesn't work out. With his size, long arms, thick build, athleticism, good hands, and endless motor.
