My thoughts on Harris

I think we're using Harris wrong. I think we're trying to pound a square peg into a round hole with him and it isn't working. He's not Deron. He's not Stockton. He's not a PnR PG.

I think what he is, or what he should be, is a Reggie Miller. Well sorta. Maybe a mature Allen Iverson.

I'd like to see him start sets without the ball. Run him off a double screen and THEN get him the ball. I believe with his speed, which is truly impressive, that he would be able to get free for a variety of open looks in so doing. Add to that his court sense, and the fact that defenses would probably be a bit disorganized after chasing him around a couple screens, I think his ability to make others better would be enhanced as well.

I think it'd put a LOT more pressure on defenses than using him as a set up man trying to initiate plays from the perimeter.

I dont' think we're putting much pressure on defenses since Deron left. And I believe this would be an effective way to start disrupting opposing defenses and getting the Jazz easier looks.

What!?! Jazz trying to pound a square peg into a round hole, I don't believe it.

Harris has been a little disappointing to me since the trade, especially defensively. He was known as not just a good defender but a great defender. Since going to Utah he looks like a below average defender.

He will be our starting PG next year but if we are lucky enugh to draft a good point guard (Irving) then we can ease him into being our 6th man behind both guard positions. Trading him in the off season would not a bad idea as he still carrys alot of weight in the trade market as alot of teams wanted him at the trading deadline, maybe getting a starting SG or scorer off the bench.

You really are dreaming when you say Irving arent you?
