Lance Harris - info

[newem]

So my favourite team is intrested in Lance Harris according to the media. I've found his stats on the internet and one video of him on Youtube, but I would like to know more.
So I'm asking someone to please write a repport of him(is he good defender, passer, does he have a nice and reliable jumpshot).
Please.

Usage of the word "favourite" would imply that a European team is interested in Lance Harris.  What team is it?

By the way, welcome to the board.   

[WorldWideBalla21]

first off, what is the team looking at him? is it some semi-pro team somewhere. secondly, I will send you a short little Lance Harris Highlight video if you want. I can give you a download link.

He's probably one of the streakiest shooters I've ever seen.  He's okay at defense and pretty good at posting up smaller guards even though his retarded coaches rarely used him that way.  He's at his best when he attacks the paint, but again, he rarely did that.

It's a pro team from Slovenia that plays in Fiba cup competition. It's called Zlatorog former name was Pivovarna Lasko, they even played euroleague a few years back. They are a good organized club, they give the salaries to the players on time. Last year two American players played for the club. The first one was Jack Ingram from Ilinois, the second one was Terry Williams from Georgia Southern.
A download link would be appreciative.

Georgia Southern 

Lance Harris has an appreciative bandersnatch, but his finoogle could use some special bracelets.

Lance Harris:
Above average athlete
Very streaky shooter
Average defender
Below average passer
Not the smartest guy on the floor

If you play at Missouri every week, you will have a pretty good player.

That made me laugh.  I bet most American players don't even consider the possibility that they might not get paid when they first go overseas.

Last year two American players played for the club. The first one was Jack Ingram from Ilinois, the second one was Terry Williams from Georgia Southern.

I looked these guys up.  I would almost guarantee that nobody here has heard of either one.  Kansas State is at a similar level to Illinois.  Georgia Southern would be considered a lower division school.  Jack Ingram barely played for Illinois and he was a center/forward so he doesn't really compare to Lance.  Just looking at statistics, Lance would appear to be somewhat similar to Terry Williams but he was playing against much better competition.  I would guess that Lance is probably better than the Americans you had last year.

It has to be really difficult for teams in Europe to figure out which American players will thrive in a completely different culture and which will absolutely hate it.  I wouldn't be surprised at all if Lance did really well over there.

That made me laugh, too.  But if they're not in the NBA or DL, they might not get paid here, either.

True, but it's one thing when you drive to play a game and don't get paid.  It's another when you fly to Slovenia and don't get paid.

[yosh]

They only thing I would add to what has been said is that Lance is a good finisher in transition.  He loves to get out on the break and dunk it.  He was probably the only guy we had in the past 5 years capable of finishing a fastbreak.

Good luck to Lance!

Absolutely.

Lance was one of my favorite players. I wish him the best.

He would either put you on his back or break your back depending on the barometric pressure.

Yes, we do have it since from the beggining of the site.

If he signs with Zlatorog, he will get paid 100%.

We haven't had much guards who are from America. Most American players here are centers, the most "known" center from America in Zlatrog was Jeffrey McMillan from USC. I really hope that Lance signs with my favourite club and has a fantastic season and I hope he makes even a bigger impact than Terry Williams.

We're all Zlatorog fans. Already.

If he signs I'll keep you posted about the stats and the game results.

I would love that.  Thanks!

Then the first eight clubs play each other again to grab a spot in the playoffs and then battle for the champion. In the scheudle I haven't included the Fiba game(20. November) and the cup games.

[highway61]

So whats Euroleague?  Is that like the champions league in soccer where the top few teams in every country play in their own super league?

Sort off. There are 3 european basketball competitions if I compare them to football(soccer) leagues:
Euroleague = Champions League
ULEB cup = UEFA cup
Fiba Super Challenge = Intertoto cup

[Legore]

Lance is a good athlete with a nice long frame.  Streaky shooter and not much of a ball handler for a guard.  Runs the floor well but doesn't make good decisions in transition.  Very good athlete with a low BBIQ.  No feel for the game as a passer and a guy you don't even wan't on the floor if you're protecting a lead late in a game.  That said if you're down 10 and you need someone who might get hot and spark you then Lance is your guy. 

[newem]

Lance has officialy signed a contract with Zlatorog.
I'll be happy to inform you about the results.
