He contests a lot of shots and Louisville plays a 2-3 zone. If he can grab offensive rebounds at such a high rate, there's no reason why he can't do the same on the defensive end.

Poor man's version of early Kenyon Martin ( and that isn't an insult in case you only remember Old Man Martin).
Wonder if he's inspired by Faried? 35 is Farieds # too. Also, he's listed as 6'8 but I think this guy is barely 6'6 barefooted (if that). He was measured at 6'5.75, two years ago (he was 19.5). He was measured at 6'7 barefooted at the pre draft combine but i'm not sure how legit that is. Not that it's a big deal, he's got a huge wingspan (7'4) and even though he has no official vertical measurements he said to be an explosive leaper and excellent athlete. For comparison, Faried is 6'6 (barefooted), has a 7'0 wingspan and 35 inch vert.
This guy looks like he'd be perfect for some And1 basketball...if And1 basketball still existed. And what's with all of these comparisons to Draymond Green? Harrell should have a poster of Draymond Green hanging in his bedroom, and he should be praying to it every night because Draymond is a god compared to Harrell. Still like it better than than the Dekker pick.
