He's athletic and he's a scorer, but definitely not a shooter. I think he'd be a good addition, but he's not someone who will take a lot of threes. 3 years of eligibility is a plus. If he shoots it at close to 40%, I sure hope he will take a lot of threes. I'm no scout, but that video combined with...

Re: How would you rate Coach Cox for the 2019-2020 Season?

Beating PC, finishing Top 4 in the A-10 is a B at minimum. Being a consensus NCAA tourney pick would have been in the A range. Losing to Brown was embarrassing and not managing roster better in the middle of the season keeps me at the minimum grade of a B.

If Harris could actually, finally develop that outside shot and knock it down consistently, it would be a huge impact on the ability to play multiple bigs together at the same time.

It's almost like you have to recruit two tiers of players. 1) Starters who know they are going to be starters, and 2) Scrubs who know they are going to be lucky to even get in the game. Then everyone is happy.

That was maybe the worst stretch I’ve ever seen from Harris. I can excuse missed shots, but not running down the floor is inexcusable. He’s a step slow even when he does show some effort. Forget about it if he’s not. Doesn’t belong on the court.
