    Harris was a three-year starter at Michigan, averaging 18.1 points, 6.0 rebounds and 4.1 assists as a junior before deciding to enter the draft. He led the Wolverines to the NCAA tournament in 2009, their first appearance since 1998, but they were ousted in the second round and went on to have a disappointing season in 2009-10. Harris, though, put together another solid performance as his game continued to mature. He showed consistency by scoring in double figures in 29 of 31 games.

    The quick guard lowered his turnovers substantially as a junior, averaging 2.8 after averaging 3.1 the previous season and 3.6 as a freshman, although he needs to continue to improve in that area. The biggest concern for Harris may be his size, as his game revolves around penetration and getting to the basket and drawing contact. He averaged 6.0 free throws during his college career, but the more physical play of the NBA could wear him down due to his lack of bulk.

    He is not a great shooter and averaged a career-low 30.8 percent from 3-point range last season. Despite that shortcoming, he is a well-rounded player who is a solid defender and aggressive on the glass, averaging 6.0 rebounds last season and 5.7 for his career.

    There are some questions about Harris' maturity level after he was briefly suspended this season for unsportsmanlike conduct in practice. He also needs to improve his decision making with the ball, which could happen with experience. He seems likely to be drafted in the second round if he is taken.

    Lamb needs to do either his best gerald green impression or just play like gary neal for the spurs. What Gary Neal does works.

    Both Leuer and Harrellson are stretch 5's and show a heckuva lot more heart and hustle than Smith.

    And Jerome Jordan is a more polished offensive player, with more athleticism and upside. Not to mention that Jordan is a legit 7footer while Smith is another 6'9 guy.

    I thought Summer League didn't start until the 13th. Is the schedule wrong? Or is this like a preseason game? :confused:

    Any expert that had another teams draft rated higher than ours, from this past draft, had to have been drunk. We had the best 2012 haul and it will show when they hit the floor.

    I was a Sydney Kings season ticket holder last season, and would say that Jerai Grant was my favourite player in the team. He was all out hustle with tonnes of blocks. He is very athletic.

    Problem is, he looked great compared to bady Aussie competition. He's athletic, but so are many other American players. He does have valued skills like rebounding and blocks, but don't think he's good enough for the NBA.

    I choose the guys I know, cause honestly I don't know too much of anyone else besides Machado and Smith.

    If Dragic is half what his brother is than he will have a good chance. But if anyone outisde of our top prospected rookie/sophmores make it, more power to them. :grin:

    Great thread, nice pics. ;)

    I was a Western Sydney Razorbacks fan, because they played in my home gym at Liverpool, and Sydney Kings before and after. Unfortunately our league and its marketing are atrocious now, when just a few years back it was comparable to the best of the euro leagues.
