7. Maurice Harkless
Stats W/O Lillard: 7.8 PPG/0.8 APG/3.5 RPG
Harkless started off the week with an inspiring 12 point quarter in Atlanta. Then he disappeared, only to be rediscovered yesterday vs. Sacramento. The young guard was one of the biggest difference-makers in that contest, and shot a season high .667% from the field. Harkless hadn’t played more than 28 minutes heading into that game, but his season high of 33 minutes were put to good use with the third highest scoring mark, and a plus/minus of +10. When he’s on, Harkless is a very formidable back-up wing. Unfortunately, he is too inconsistent to be counted on off the bench each game for Terry Stotts.
