Moe Harkless had a tough start to the season, but has found his way since then, proving he should have been drafted higher than 15th overall. He is still quite raw, but does have a decent amount of potential offensively.

Harkless would benefit greatly if he could develop a three-point shot, as he is shooting a low 27.4% from beyond the arc.

He currently ranks 15th among rookies in scoring, but has produced decent numbers with increased minutes. In Orlando Magic’s last 10 games, Moe is putting up 12.6 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1.3 steals per game. He needs to do a significantly better job of finding his teammates, as 0.6 assists per game is unacceptable, even for a small forward.

Statistics this season: 6.4 ppg, 4.1 rpg, 47.7 FG%, 22.2 mpg

(Originally picked 9th overall: Andre Drummond, Detroit Pistons)
