Run BJM's official scouting report on Devin Harris:
Tall and athletic for a PG. Has very nice quicks, not elite level like a Parker, Monta Ellis, etc. but just a notch below. Has a very nice handle and gets into the paint well. Decent finisher around the rim. Hes not a pure PG like a Kidd or Nash but he can manage a game just fine and run a team. Defensively hes very solid, fundamentally sound, moves his feet well, hes long, but he is pretty weak (look what Baron Davis did to him in the playoffs).
That being said, he flops like a bitch ALL THE TIME. I would say hes as bad as Ginobili, maybe even worse as far as flopping and cheap ass p*ssy moves are concerned. He doesn't have a reputation as a dirty player but having seen a ton of him over the last two years as a W's fan I'd say hes pretty sketchy. When the refs aren't calling the flop (i.e. playoffs, late in games, etc.) he can look really bad because thats half of his defense. His 3 point shot is inconsistent, hes improved upon it to the point where defenders can't leave him wide open there but his outside shooting still isn't a major concern for the defense. He whines like a bitch to the refs constantly.
Youtube isn't working for me right now or else I would show you a video of him pulling a bitch move on Jason Richardson. He steals the ball from J-Rich, takes it up for a layup, which Richardson blocked cleanly, but when you see the replay from another angle you can see when Harris had his shot swatted he wrapped his arm around J-Rich's waist and took him down while they were both in mid-air. Extremely dangerous and you could tell J-Rich was furious after the play whilst Harris lay on the floor pretending to be injured (believe it or not I've seen him fake more injuries than Vince Carter. He lays on the floor for 2 minutes like he just got a left hook from Lennox Lewis then gets up and shows no signs of legitimate injury).
