Moe and the 2012 Draft

As a 50 years + Celtic fan I would love for Moe to wear Green.  Key factor may be health status of Jeff Greene who Celtics are sorely missing vs. Heat.

I really think my Golden State Warriors are going to take him.

Moe measured out very well at the combine today over 6'8 , Big hands and great reach

Could I see that link please?

Best case Trevor Ariza? Best Case? No way

And I dont think Moe was part of either the First Team all Big east or first team all big east defensive teams

Even weirder, their "best case" (Ariza) and "worst case" (Devin Ebanks) are essentially the SAME player.   Both were 4pts 3 rebs in their 2nd years in the NBA.   And neither were close to being the rebounder Moe is.   If they mean Moe has a chance to be what Ariza became (one time!) in his SIXTH year in the league (a 15 pt/6 reb wing),  I could see that, but I don't see it taking 6 years.   I think that could be his career levels, not his "best season" numbers.   There are much better comparisons out there.

Moe's "upside" has got to be all-star caliber... like a Marion or Rudy Gay.   
Not saying he's going to be either of those players, but if we're talking "best case" his ceiling is much higher than Ariza.  No offense to Ariza, like CR said he's had some very respectable seasons.   But Moe has a higher ceiling, mostly because he has more length and can rebound/ play down low a bit more.

From Chad Ford:

Harkless also appeared to make the leap this weekend, going from interesting prospect to potential lottery pick. He still has a ways to go as far as making his game translate to the next level, but the raw athletic ability and elite size for his position, combined with an excellent showing both on the court and in interviews seems to have really improved his stock. I've heard his name as high as No. 7 to the Golden State Warriors and No. 8 to the Toronto Raptors.

Wow.  Moe as a lottery pick would be AMAZING, both for SJU and Moe.   Hope that comes to fruition.

I hate the term "best case". Who's to say what Moe's limits are? He can be as good as he want to be

The NBA has released the results of the athletic testing from the combine (the announced height/weight last week).  Here's the link:  http://www.draftexpress.com/nba-pre-draft-measurements/?year=2012&sort2=DESC&draft=0&pos=0&source=NBA%20Draft%20Combine&sort=12

Lloyd Daniels. Felipe Lopez. Lenny Cooke. Sebastian Telfair. Even Lance Stephenson.

Moe Harkless knows the names and was fully prepared for the questions that came his way last week while in Chicago for the NBA Draft Combine.

The NBA higher-ups wanted to know why Harkless is different, why he won't join the group of overhyped New Yorkers who have underachieved in their quest for greatness.

"I wasn't highly touted," Harkless said. "It kept my head on straight."

Mo B as good as his motor allows. League no joke. Busting ass every game most important, especially for those starting out.

Mo is mature beyond his years. Credit to his mom for raising him up well.

I went from thinking he should have come back for 1 more year to now I can't wait for draft night to see how high he goes

+1   

Heard yesterday that the Pacers are REALLY hoping he falls to them but I don't see it happening at this point.
