Harris Scouting Report
“With Jared Harris it’s about the upside. He has a projectable frame with good size. He has long arms and is very twitchy which helps him off off the bounce. He will need to continue adding strength, which will help on both sides of the floor. Harris is a confident jump shooter, from three, especially when his feet are set. This opens up his ability to get downhill and attack close outs. Harris has a solid handle, you’d like to see him develop some counters however. On defense you like the upside with his measurable. He will need to continue getting game reps, working on his decision making. The tools are in there and the upside is clear. Watch to see how he continues to develop. Harris’ best basketball could be just ahead.” – On3’s Jamie Shaw
