wait, are you taking the over or under? if you're taking the under, I'll take the bet- the sig has to be a picture of the loser wearing jorts
that might be too risky...for me and anyone looking at that sig.

He def has to get in, and stay in, better shape before he can ever think about playing for us. Hes actually a decent athlete, but his standing reach is only 8'8.5'' which is 2 inches shorter than Markieff Morris'.
Harrellson has alot going against him to become an NBA player, but you cant question his heart, motor, and toughness. Those are traits that are hard to come by in big men these days. At best Im hoping he can be a goon type to give us 10 mpg at some point, but Im not expecting it. Just happy to have the big guy on board.

People pay too much stock into Standing Reach man. That's how gems fall and become steals.
Quite a few current and past successful NBA Players did NOT have high standing reaches. Also, I believe Harrellson's standing reach is only an inch or 2 shorter than Amare's.

Amare has a 9'0.5'' standing reach. Harrellson's is pretty bad Mags. Small for even PFs. Not sayin he cant play in this league, but it wont be easy. He has girth though

I had a really good feeling about Josh and we knew New York loved him. They had told us his workout blew them away. I knew Boston and some other teams that really wanted him and were going to try and move up. In fact, there was another team willing to buy a pick to move up for Josh.
Think about what I’m saying – what a transformation! Josh changed his body, his attitude, his approach and his skillset. He changed his belief in himself all through hard work and knowing that when the tide rises, everyone is able to reach their dreams.
If you think you don’t have to work to get drafted then you are fooling yourself. It’s the most competitive thing I’ve ever seen – no one is just handed a draft position. They must earn it.

He gets rotation minutes just for that.
