Harrison at 73 three pointers

  I hope everyone tells Harrison the same thing.   The bigger the chip on his shoulder the better for us.  He doesn't seem the type to take someone telling him he can't do something too kindly.

Nothing against him at all. Phenomenal college player. NBA just requires a different skill set. If he makes the NBA I will happily be proven wrong. I'll be rooting for him to succeed and get there (preferably after this 4 years of college though).

Think Harrison is better than Johnson Odom? AShton Gibbs? Jason Clark?

 As freshmen? or right now? He's better than all three as freshmen.

He is a classic 4 year player in the Scotty Reynolds most. He might test the waters because after all, it's free to do so. Leaving would be insane. You need to be Iverson or Wade at that size to get drafted in the first round.

After that, there are several dozen combo guards who almost always land in Europe.

remember also, Hardy only really had one year of college ball to show what he could do at a high level. Harrison is better shooter than Hardy already imo.  Hardy was smarter and better team player, but that will come with time for Harrison.  Hardy played little to no defense also.

Eh, Poison?  I get the hyperbole, but in the last 5 drafts Brandon Jennings, Eric Bledsoe, Johnny Flynn, Avery Bradley, Ty Lawson, Kyrie Irving, Steph Curry, Jeff Teague, Darren Collison, Aaron Brooks, Rajon Rondo, Jordan Farmar, Shannon Brown, and Quincy Douby have ALL been drafted first round "at that size" or smaller....

You welcome carmine.

You're naming mostly point guards here. As far as two guards go, most of those guys stayed at least 4 years, and then fizzled out quickly. If Marcus Hatten and Dwight Hardy don't even get drafted after their senior seasons, I think it's pretty reasonable to assume that another combo guard in a similar mold wouldn't either.

Hope I'm wrong and he does make it.

Um, Poison's example (which I was responding to) was Iverson.

Agree. All those guys with the exception of Brown are either pure PG's or play mostly PG. Harrison would not do that in the NBA. He is a combo guard who would be a better fit at the SG position. There he would be undersized. I don't see him being able to drive and score like he does in college. He doesn't have great athletic ability either. Now, he will probably be outstanding overseas (see Dwight Hardy) where scoring combo guards excel. Again, not a knock on him that's just the way the NBA is.
