Then again, Harvey was not where he needed to be last year. MAW was playing mostly by default due to McNeal being bad and Harvey being behind as well. Gabe can play 2 positions if he picks the system up quickly he has a chance at decent minutes if his D is straight. MAW can't rest easy and Harvey must improve. Hopefully Harvey is at full strength and has more confidence. I don't think Gabe will be lacking confidence. |

I was down on Harvey last year, but I expect him to be much better as a Sophomore. You could tell he was starting to figure it out in the second half of the season and he seems to have very good court awareness and vision. The biggest concern is his shooting (and committing too many dumb fouls), but I think he will be one of our better players at getting to the basket. I imagine playing 5 out motion a lot - pretty much any time Vogt isn't in - will create a lot of driving lanes.
I would not be surprised to see Harvey starting at SG, it will be between him and MAW for the final spot. Even if he doesn't start I think he will be the first guard/SF off the bench. |

I think people are too quick to judge Harvey. His bad freshman year should have been expected. He was injured for months before he signed, missed most of his HS senior year and spring practice for UC and part of summer practice because of his injury. It's part of the reason a player ranked so high ended up here.
His game reminds me a lot of Keith's, but he seems to have better court vision and a better 3 point shot than Keith did as a freshman. It takes slashers a bit longer to get used to the higher level of college play and also to stop deferring to upper classmen. I also continue to believe that the freshmen class as a whole is being expected to do way more than is realistic. They are likely to miss significant chucks of practice time due to Covid-19, making the adjustment even tougher. Freshmen who make major contributions are the exception, not the rule. If we are going to do well next season, I think Keith, DeJulius and Diarra are going to have to be the stars and play major minutes. Harvey, MAW, Rap and Vogt have to be solid contributors. At least one other player (Eason or (?)Prince) needs to step up. |
