    Undersized PF who will further bring down our FT percentages. Houston warmly welcomes you Montrezl.

    6'7" without shoes with 7'4" wingspan.

    With shoe height is only 6'7.5". Something is not right here.

    Undersized, no outside shot, poor FT shooter, but hardworking and at least in college rebounded at a decent rate.

    Not a huge fan of this pick but could have done worse.

    I thought we'd be drafting to beat the Warriors. Defensive minded PG's is what I expected.

    Morey has apparently been infatuated with Faried for a while now. Harrell has the potential to be Faried w/ defense.

    Harrell has an insanely long wingspan and the strength/feet to be a strong PnR defender and also block some shots. He's not a good shooter but he's a great finisher and hustle player who can hit the open jumper. Just like Faried, Harrell is great in transition which could make him a great fit with a Llull/Harden backcourt.

    This is a guy who I really liked but I didn't want at #18. But at #32? Love it. Our PF position is definitely overstocked, but I like the depth and flexibility it gives us. Harrell is a guy who could've played in the 90s and can still play today, his throwback toughness and nastiness at the PF position can still be a valued asset in today's league. Great pick.
