Our newest recruit is 2012 shooting guard Gary Harris. He sounds like a guy that might be pumping your gas, but he could be knocking down treys in Rupp Arena in a couple of years.
[PRBREAK][/PRBREAK]Harris had an incredible dunk today at the Indy.com event and it wowed everyone there. As soon as it is on youtube we will have it for you..
Here is the ESPN evaluation of Harris and his latest youtube video below.
[QUOTE]
Strengths:
Great physical strength for a young guard competes and really does a great job using his length and anticipation on the defensive end to come up with steals. Slashes and finishes at the rim with great touch and body control. Can hit the open three when in a groove but inside the arc he can score in a variety of ways with his mid range game. He is constantly in attack mode. He loves to aggressively attack the rim from the wing and go over or through his opponent to score. Gary is a tough defender also that uses his strong body to keep his opponent out of the lane. He is also solid at playing the passing lanes and gleaning steals that lead to his transition game.
Weaknesses:
He is a decent shooter right now with range to 19 feet but must work to continue to improve his consistency and range. Can be streaky bad or good behind the arc, must work to make the three a consistent weapon. Bottom Line:
Gary is an impressive prospect. When he is in attack mode he is a tremendous force. He is skilled and could project one day to the point guard position. He’s a supreme talent that continues to improve and has a chance to be special if he continues to improve his game.
