Summary
Moe Harkless has great upside and certainly has some skills to like, but the talk of him as a lottery pick is crazy, mid-first yes, but lottery is crazy for a player with an inconsistent motor who shot 20% from 3, yet still took 2 and a half a game! Still though, Harkless does have some nice size and skills as a slasher to go with tremendous athleticism. Perhaps in less minutes (he played 36 a game, which is a lot) he'll be able to put in a higher level of effort and at 19, it's not crazy to think his shooting will improve.
