First off, the comparison to Crawford came from someone who played against Crawford many times in college where he WAS much the drive to the cup guy, not the shooter he is NOW. Please read the whole post before making frivilous assertions. The idea is simply that jump shots can be improved..period.

Harris is a very inefficient “volume” scorer. Can’t do that in NBA, because nobody’s gonna say scoring 20 shooting 4 for 15 from 3 w/ FT added in is good play in NBA.

Harris can make the NBA with work as a PG, never as a SG. Harris’ strengths are driving with length. Comparisons to Jamal Crawford are way off base because Harris’ shot is so wack and their games are so different. Harris’ path is actually close to Shannon Brown. Just like Brown, Harris shoulda been a PG in college ball. Blame coaching that don’t know squat about basketball player development and optimization, as in Izzo and Beilein, period. Harris gets the chancet o spend a year learning the PG position and he can make the NBA. Everyone roots for Green but Green’s gonna have to pull a miracle to make the NBA. He’d need a perfect fit team where roster wise on the floor he has help to make up for his deficiencies, too short for PF and too slow can’t shoot for SF. Just real hard to see!

Who counted anyone out?

But I get your point. Since I’m 5’10” and 170 pounds I should keep my opinions to myself.

I’m questioning his ability to play in the NBA. He is obviously a very good college player. The NBA is just a different game.

Well, as for Jared, he was wrong about Draymond coming out of High school and during High school as well as
S. Bell. When I saw what the both of you looked like, I realize why all the negativity. Just wait and see before you count someone out.

Yeah, it’s a perfect example of how not to shoot.

His jumpshot is “perfect” — Beilein said so!

There will be so many 6-10 19-year-old Americans and Europeans who play the same position as Green who will be drafted on “upside”, don’t see it happening for him. He’d be a good NBA PF in the 1960s.

Not yet….but Crawford wasn’t a shooter then either….nor were many others that went to the league and became shooters. Potential is the key for NBA GM’s often times, remember that key.
