My seasons just ended yesterday in the Elite 8.  Now I'm moving thoughts towards next season and Benjamin Harris is too Athletic to not start on this to-be young team.  My concerns are that his SPD/BH/P aren't up to the level a D2 SF should be.  However I think he may be able to be an effective scorer at the PF position and a lock down defender because of his athleticism.

 

Where would you start him next season?

I don't like that 44 REB.  I'd put him at SF.

In an unrelated question:

Byrd, your graduation senior, played his FR year but not at all his SO and JR seasons.
Lockett, also a senior, didn't log any minutes his JR year.

I realize you weren't the coach then, but do you know why they didn't play??

No idea allblack.  My Guess is that they had either a deep team down low and at SF or they had players with high stamina's along with possibly running a slow down?  Not sure. 

The 44 rebounding is a concern but you dont think his ATH would compensate for that?  On the other hand it may be smartest to start Kennard at C, Rupinski at PF, and Harris at SF.

I had better depth at those positions and they were a liability in other areas those seasons. Also, their crappy WE didn't help improvement as much so I just played other guys that ended up contributing more.

Sent you a sitemail :)

Anyway, when I recruited him, I was hoping his passing and speed would vastly improve so he would be the next great player.
Obviously his potentials were not so good in those areas.  I just dont see how he would do well at SF since he is hella slow compared to players he is going to matched up against.

I'd probably play him at PF if you have a strong rebounding center...

The speed and handles would concern me at SF, but I think he plays at either spot depending on the matchups. Mixing and matching is a good way to get multiple young guys more starts, too.
