2010 NBA Draft Scouting Report: Manny Harris


Position: Shooting Guard

Size: 6-5, 185

School: Michigan, Junior


Strengths:

Terrific slasher

Extremely quick first step

Good finisher at the rim

Body control when attacking the basket

Creating for teammates off the drive

Dangerous in the open court

Can take over a game

Rebounder for a guard

Ball-handling

Great reaction as a help defender



Weaknesses:

Three-point shooting

Gets a little shot happy at times

Must get stronger so he can handle contact when driving to the hoop

Questionable decision maker

Summary: Harris' great freshman season in Ann Arbor really caught a lot of people's attention about his potential as a pro. However, "Manny Fresh" seems to be almost the same player he is as a junior that he was as a freshman. He is terrific off the bounce but really struggles with his outside shot. That lack of development in his game is discouraging but he has still declared for the 2010 NBA Mock Draft and will most likely be an early second-rounder.

Player Comparison: Roger Mason. Mason is a combo guard who has struggled to find his groove in the NBA due to a lack of a true position. Harris figures to be a two guard at the next level but may end up playing some point due to his slashing abilities and sturggles as an outside shooter, which are both similar to Mason's game.
