7. Maurice Harkless (Last Week: 6)

Season Stats : 7.9 PPG/1.1 APG/4.8 RPG

Last Week Stats : 7.8 PPG/1.6 APG/5.0 RPG

Harkless started the week with two stellar games in which he averaged 12.5 points and 6.5 rebounds. Since then, he has seen his minutes dwindle down, ending with only 14 minutes of play against the Nuggets. This was a season low for Harkless, his time has been taken away in favor of Allen Crabbe. You may be surprised to know that he has the second highest +/- on the entire team(an average of +2.6). Fun Fact: Harkless didn’t start playing organized basketball until he was in high school. So for the 6th grade debate league champion out there, you too can make it to the NBA. I doubt it though, I’ve seen your jump shot.
