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.

Lmao@ 6'8, 7'4 wingspan undersized pf there's only good pf or bad pf, one or two inches doesn't make a difference
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.
