Evaluation
September, 2008: Harriell is one of the most explosive prospects on the west coast. He is difficult to stop in transition because he can get to the rim with relative ease%u2014he had some of the most spectacular dunks of the summer. He plays with reckless abandon and never appears to get worn out during the course of the game. Although he relies heavily on his bounce, there are other areas of his game that need attention. At his size he needs to become a more consistent shooter. He is quite streaky with his jump shot, but he does get great lift on it. In addition, he needs to develop more savvy for the game because there are many times when he takes ill-advised 3-pointers or forces the action when the opportunity isn't there. Overall, if he continues to improve his perimeter skills he should be a solid career in the Big Sky Conference.

I think he'll be a star at PSU if they can get him here and keep him more than a year or two.

Nice.

Won't be the last POTW.

 

[top8020]

The kids a winner big game to get us a win

 

[DustRunner]

I'm really starting to jump on the Harriel bandwagon. He's got a lot of hustle out there.

 

[top8020]

Yea but he needs to save some of that so he can make sum shoots

 

[DustRunner]

If the big men could step up and grab some more boards, Harriel would be fresher for shooting the ball.

The kid needs to wake up

 

[martymoose]

Is it me or does he just look exhausted out there compared to earlier in the year?

I think the heavy minutes early in the season are starting to take a toll on him. Either this or he's got something else going on. Spot up threes for airballs or missing really badly. Something is amiss...
