Devin Harris To Improve?

[Legacy]

The key player for the Nets in the Jason Kidd trade with Dallas at midseason, he was hurt early and never really had time to play his complete game for the Nets. Now he will. He shot only .438 from the field for the Nets, while averaging 15.4 points and 6.5 assists, and expect all of those numbers to go up this season. The fifth overall pick of the 2004 draft from Wisconsin, nobody was happier that the 6-3 Harris was shipped to the Eastern Conference than the Spurs, who found Harris to be the toughest matchup for Tony Parker (other than Chris Paul). Harris has a chance to be an All-Star very quickly in the Eastern Conference as the Nets go through their rebuilding phase. The big question is how quickly he will grow into a leader for that team. He was the guy at Wisconsin, and tried to be at Dallas, but coach Avery Johnson wouldn't let him. Expect Lawrence Frank to give him free rein.

Nothing new here: even if Harris does not "improve" at all as a player, being the main point guard and being injury free should boost his production quite a bit, definitely enough for someone to say that he's "improved".

One thing that will happen will be that his stats improve because he will most likely be the second option in this offense. I look for him to have that career year. He is going to score at least 15 point and dish out 5 assists, that is barring injury.

can't wait to see a full training camp and Harris for the whole season. He quickly became one of my favorite players.
