Has no ball handling skills, very little shooting skills, some defensive skills on help defense..if this makes an all American, I'm one as well.
This is the truth about Harrell.
He can dunk when he catches the ball 5 feet from the goal.
He can rebound when he's the tallest guy on the floor.
He can block shots of short guards if they're close by.
He can foul strategically.
He can scream at decibel levels that cause ears to bleed.
He can chew up a mouthpiece with skill.
He can hang on a rim like a boss.
He can flex and pose like a body builder.
If that is first team AA then I think they need to come watch me play a bit. Seriously though, Harrell was voted to that preseason team based on hype, not skill. He's not a skilled player. He's a brawler and runs through and over people. He just physically dominates smaller and weaker guys and those highlights make Sportscenter accompanied by words like "beast!" He's Rick's best player. That's it. He won't make the team at the end.
