Maurice Harkless Appreciation Thread

[Strenuus]

THIS GUY IS AWESOME!!!! Career high in rebounds... and since becoming a starter, he's been MONEY.

For a 2nd round pick!

And it's one of the most protected 2nd round picks of all time.

 

[BonesJones]

Hoping he becomes a 35% 3pt shooter. He'd easily be a top 10 SF of he could do so

 

[SlyPokerDog]

I bet we could trade him for 2 second round picks.

 

[illmatic99]

How could you be so Harkless?

Think I just found who my new irrational fandom will be for. Sergio/Rudy/Nic/Wessy and now Moe.

YA BOI...

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Before tonight, he has an Ortg/Drtg of 129/103 as a starter. I can't wait to check tomorrow for the update!

Aren't appreciation threads usually reserved for players that have left?

 

[Scalma]

Might not need another wing starter. All we really need is a center and some more shooters off the bench in the belinelli mold.

 

[illmatic99]

Seriously. We need a better title.

 

[0-Our!]

AND... let's NOT forget that he's ONLY 22!

Don't they tell you to appreciate the things you have now? Why not say we appreciate him while he's here?

 

[Darkwebs]

Seriously. We need a better title.

How about "Maurice Harkless Man-Crush Thread"?

 

[Elton]

Interestingly enough, he seems to be appreciative of his situation too.

Great chemistry!

Man.... we aren't gonna have ANY money this summer.

It's okay if we are spending money on worthwhile keeps.

As TBpup says; its a top55 protected pick; so effectively he was acquired for nothing.

He has been great. Big thanks to Jacque Vaughn for being a terrible coach! Thanks to a terrible Orlando Magic for giving away players for nothing!

 

[BlazerCaravan]

I think Orlando fans will eventually think of Harkless the way we think of Jermaine.

Portland has enough to get a center and some nice bench pieces. That's all they really need anyway

 

[e_blazer]

That was one heck of a game he played tonight! Damn!

Actual footage of Neil after the Maurice Harkless trade.....

 

[Scalma]

His rebounding is elite for his size/position. Great understanding of positioning (boxing out,etc) and really anticipates where the ball is going to bounce. Perfect compliment for Dame and CJ offensively as well with his slashing.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

He's just a 3pt shot away.

His price tag went up this summer.

It wouldn't at all surprise me if NY threw him a stupid contract.

 

[Draco]

He's been awesome. Reminds me of Darius Miles first year here in a good way. Hopefully thats all he has similar with Miles.

 

[ripcityboy]

I swear. I can't believe St. Johns has never won a national championship. They always seem to produce talent.

If he shows up bigtime in the playoffs someone is going to throw him a huge contract especially two weeks after the start of FA and there are 15 teams with 20+ million and no top tier FA left.

 

[Binx]

I love the way Harkless goes to the rim and pounds in other people's shots. Every team needs a high-flier who can do that.

 

[dviss1]

Man.... we aren't gonna have ANY money this summer.

Not if we sign Larry Sanders. He'll be cheap.

Larry.

Sanders.

 

[WillG]

Harkless has really flipped the switch since entering the starting line-up.

A lot of guys tend to play in spurts/stand and watch plays - Harkless is always moving -
I'm loving his hustle play!

Lock this guy up Pronto; I'd like to see him become a long term Blazer!

Last time I saw an appreciation thread for a player, he was no longer on the team. Did you just create a Jinxspeed Stren????
