It turns out that Joe Harris is actually a decent scorer. He doesn’t do anything else (assists and rebounds are practically nonexistent for him, and who knows if he plays defense because I don’t care whether or not he does), but he’s shooting efficiently this year and it seems like I every time I see him play he hits at least one nineteen-foot jumper off a curl pattern. Granted, it’s usually just the one, but that’s more of a failure of his coach and his teammates probably.
The Kyle Korver comparisons are too easy. DTB is all about the challenge when it comes to comparing players. So, this time, I’m going to try to compare him to a player who is NOT white. It’s going to be tough and there might be tears/teeth-gnashing involved, but I’m going to do it. Starting. Right. Now. GO!
I just sat here for five minutes trying to come up with a nonwhite comparison for Joe Harris. Somebody who can hit jumpers and sometimes drive the ball but never do anything else. And here’s who I got: Randy Foye. Joe Harris compares favorably to his own perpetually-washed up teammate, the Foyenicator, except Foye sometimes randomly gets double-digit assists.
Ouch. Sorry Joe. Would it better if I said Isaiah Canaan?
