7. Maurice Harkless (Last Ranking: 7)

Season Stats: 6.1 PPG/1.1 APG/3.9 RPG

Last 10 Games: 4.7 PPG/1.1 APG/3.1 RPG

Moe is young, and I think that heavily contributes to his lack of consistency. As you can see, his last 10 games are down from his season numbers. Unfortunately for Harkless and Crabbe, they offer a lot of the same things within Stotts’ offense (along with sharing the same position). Unless one of them clearly separates themselves from the other, I don’t see a reason why coach wouldn’t play them about the same amount of minutes. An argument could be made for either of Harkless or Crabbe to get the majority of the backup SF minutes, but as of right now, it seems like AC has the upper hand.
