Recent evaluation from 247 (Eric Bossi):
So, the book on Harris is that he's a great shooter and it isn't just about the ball going through the net. Ultimately that's the goal but how Harris' shot gets from his fingertips to the hoop is superior to many others. At 6-foot-6 with a sturdy build, Harris has tremendous size that allows him to see over the top of defenders and get clean looks. Away from the ball, he also knows how to use his body to make his way through traffic, play through contact and get to his spots. Once he gets to his spots, the shot preparation is elite. He's always on balance and shot ready and then shoots a classic shot where the balance sets a base and he then gets the shot off quickly with a nicely tucked elbow, eyes on the rim and a fully extended follow through where it looks like he's trying to reach into that cookie jar on the top shelf.
While shooting is certainly Harris' biggest strength and the asset that's going to get him on the floor early, he's got other strengths as well. He's an intelligent passer, he has some mid post game and he's a sneaky good rebounder. He doesn't yet do a ton off the dribble so that is a major area for him to establish growth and athletically he isn't bad but he could stand to improve his lateral quickness and overall pop which could help him to create separation on offense and be a more versatile defender.
