I took some heat from Nate Kreckman on 105.5 ESPN on Monday when I called in to rip Gary Harris. Nate made good points, basically saying that it's way too soon to make a judgement and that he needs more playing time. I get that.
BUT
I have a very hard time believing that Harris is going to turn out to be a great pick. He looks scared out there and his shot is flawed. Even at MSU he wasn't a great shooter. I don't understand this pick and am confident that Connelly struck out. More playing time will be telling, but after playing in 30 games averaging 12 minutes a game, here's where he stands:
Field Goal Percentage 27%. (last among first round picks playing more than 10mpg)
3 Point Field Goal Percentage 21% (last among first round picks playing more than 10mpg)
Player Efficiency Rating: 5.12 (347th/348 qualified players)
True Shooting Percentage: 37% (Worst in the entire league)
Prove me wrong Gary Harris and start making some shots!
