Ich finde es sehr bemerkenswert, wie die Leute von Draftexpress (von denen ich einiges halte) Elias Harris in den letzten Wochen pushen: Längeres Scouting in der Rubrik "Weekly Performers", #15 im Mockdraft 2011, #9 im Freshman-Ranking,...
Seit Kurzem kann man ja auch auf der Startseite verfolgen, was DX so twittert. Hier mal eine Zusammenstellung der Diskussion von heute Nacht:
Draftexpress (DX): Catching up on Gonzaga vs Illinois. Trying to decide if Elias Harris should be in our 1st round mock draft already this year? Already 20

User: Huge plays down the stretch from Elias Harris.
DX: He's so good. And he's only going to get better.
Sat Jan 02 21:45:37
User: I think Elias Harris is more of a Shawn Marion clone than Wesley Johnson is. You?
DX: Yes. He's MUCH tougher
Sat Jan 02 21:47:02
DX: For those asking, yes, Elias Harris will definitely be making an appearance on our 2010 mock draft in the near future
Sat Jan 02 21:59:44
User: Don't hype Elias Harris too much please!
DX: Why not? BTW, its not hype when he's beasting players the way he has all year long. Have u seen the moves Elias Harris made last 2 games facing guys up from perimeter cramming it down their throats? Sick!

User: Elias Harris didn't do much against Duke tho
DX: Yeah well they lost by 35. Don't think anyone on that team did that day
Sun Jan 03 02:17:00
User: Stop hyping Elias Harris. He's abroad for 1st season. Give him room 2 just be a student
DX: Dumbest tweet of the day? Elias Harris played in the European Championships for Men this summer. I'm sure he can handle some guy on Twitter saying he's a good player
Sun Jan 03 02:29:53
User: at Eurobasket Harris was a surprise, now u name him #15 pick. I liked ur early, more conservative analysis
DX: Uh,sorry?
Sun Jan 03 03:11:12
User: Elias Harris lacks experience compared to other NCAA Euros who played major leagues
DX: I don't care about other guys. That's not how we evaluate players. Stupid to paint everyone w/same brush because of circumstance. Harris may as well be American.
Sun Jan 03 03:20:07
User: Tell these morons experience doesn't mean shit, thanks
DX: Elias Harris doesn't play like a guy who lacks experience
Sun Jan 03 03:27:40
EDIT: Und schon ist es passiert: Harris ist auf Platz 15 im
Mockdraft 2010!
