The analytics perspective
After making a big jump between his first year on campus and his second, Harrell was unable to take another step forward in year three. His stats regressed slightly pretty much across the board, leaving Harrell relatively ineffective for an upperclassman projected in the first round. First, the good: Harrell is a terrific finisher who made an even 60 percent of his 2-pointers in his college career. It's easy to project him as a roll man in the NBA, capable of finishing lobs above the rim. He's also capable of creating his own offense off second chances.
