Mavs@Knicks Game Thread!!!

Yeah I wonder the same thing. Every year is supposed to be the year that Harris develops a reliable jumper or become a better passer. It hasn't happened. He can't even lock up the starting PG job. He's great on D but I'm wondering if he'll ever develop into the All-Star level PG that everyone in Dallas envisions him being.

I don't see him reaching his potential as long as Terry is here. The Mavs have already figured out that they can't start both Terry & Harris in the backcourt against a lot of teams. They have to now because of injuries but that's not what they want to do. Terry is actually still improving as a player in Dallas so he's not going anywhere.

I think Harris would develop a little more with another team but not sure if that's in his future.

Yeah that's true Terry does kinda block him a little bit. I remember Harris saying that he's a "volume shooter", not in the ridiculous Antoine Walker sense of the phrase, but meaning that he needs to throw up a few shots to get into the flow of things. Right now with his role, he doesn't have the luxury of bricking a few early on to get his stroke. So maybe when his role gets expanded more, his outside shot will fall alot better.

I'm actually far more impressed with Harris's offense than defense.

I never cared much for his D


However, he's already got a much better outside jumper than tony parker, though I don't know how much that is really saying

I dont know what you talking about at all, this guy gets most of his points inside, and 3 of his 10 points a game off free throws. But besides that his assists are very low, and his assist to turnover ratio is 2 to 1, not good. Although, I will say that his .66 steals/turnover rating is pretty damn good, but that is d again.

I feel the opposite actually.


He may not be great in terms of being a true PG, but his speed and ability to finish around the basket is getting to TP's level. He still makes some rookie type mistakes but he's still new to the league so I'm sure he'll work out the tweaks.

I'm more impressed with his ability to score, and while his jumper isn't automatic, he really will be mentioned alongside TP in terms of PG's with quickness and being able to finish around the basket
