haha eric fawcett must have no idea the context of that play but hes ready to forecast montrezls career based on it
He doesn't rebound out of his area, which is a good thing for our team. More guys need to boxout THEIR OWN guy. Battier and Chuck Hayes weren't the best rebounders, but we had the best defense...
I was chanting his name after that play for exactly that reason. He did the right thing. In the future, he wont think about going up for the dunk, though. He'll know to dribble out the clock. Classy!
It was a cool move on his part, but his teammates wanted to see him throw it down because he does it the same way as he plays the game - with passion. Who doesn't love a power dunk. But I see the point about good sportsmanship and he'll get (hopefully with us) many more chances to tomahawk that ****.
His determination on the offensive glass whether it's actually securing the rebound(hardly) or tapping out(most of the time), has been great for us. It's actually been an the opposite type of scheme most teams employ nowadays, making it useful. I'm pro-him attacking the O board. I wish he'd attack the D boards harder, but he goes for the block almost all the time.
If he can develop a three point shot, I think he is the perfect PF in today's NBA. People tend to forget that Draymond shot around 20% from three his first season. He worked hard to get that shot. Our best hope is that Harrell has immense work ethic and from there I don't see why he can't be a stud in this league with that motor.
He's shown to be the 2nd best healthy PF on the Rockets right now behind Josh Smith. 3rd if you count Capela as a PF.
I think he's shown that he can do things at the NBA level. He can be a positive part of a rotation. That's not "no"
