Fundamentally Sound
He's like a 55% FT shooter as well. Don't know what guys are thinking when they say he can hit the J shooting 28% on his jumpers and 55% from the charity stripe with nobodies hand in his face.
Dude, seriously, you don't know what the F you're talking about...
From Draft express:
In order to really enhance his appeal to NBA coaches on the offensive end, Harrellson will likely need to prove that he's capable of knocking down mid-range jump shots, which would keep defenders more honest and make him more of a pick-and-pop threat. He's taken less than one jump shot per game so far this season, and has only connected on 28% of those attempts, but he has a decent release and looks to have the potential to be a serviceable mid-range shooter if he puts in the work.
Can we let him get up a few more attempts per game before we call him a poor midrange j-shooter?
Again, I like his stroke. He shoots it easily and his mechanics look as if they can be relied upon consistently. He needs more attempts though, which he'll get in MDA's system. Trust me we wouldn't have drafted him if he couldn't shoot.
Kenny walker of kentucky.scout.com said this about him:
Josh Harrellson is a guy that can make an open jump shot, get a couple of putbacks and go out there and get you 10 or 11 rebounds. That?s who he is.
Stop for now guys.. Wait til you can see a little more of him and then you'll agree w me.
