Chaze Harris - An interesting name starting to circulate amongst possible eligibility cases, is the reigning Sun Belt POY Chaze Harris, who spent 3 non Division 1 years prior to joining the Jaguars this past season.
Excellent positional size for a lead guard at 6â6. Portsmouth Invitational Invite, but chose to pursue the injunction route with the NCAA.
As pure a scorer as there is. 22.0 PPG on 60.6% TS% in conference play this past season. One of only 16 players in the country to post that combination of volume and efficiency.
Harris did it all for the Jaguars. A 34.6% USG% paired with a 38.0% AST%. Harris was scoring or assisting on nearly 3/4 of the Jaguarsâ points while he was on the floor. Only four players over the last five years have carried that level of offensive responsibility.
Harrisâ ability to score in transition is unparalleled. 3.4 transition PTS/G (96th percentile) on 74.6% (93rd percentile), with the ability to push the pace both on and off the ball.
Oftentimes, youâll see a drastic drop-off in performance from mid-major transfers when playing against high-major competition, but that was not the case for Harris. In Quad 1 & 2 games this season, Harris averaged 21.3 PTS/G on 51% shooting from the field while posting a 40.1% AST%.
Harris also led the Jaguars in Defensive Win Shares and served as the point of attack in South Alabamaâs unique zone defense.
The film showcases Harrisâ elite first-step quickness and ability to get downhill at will, along with the creativity to finish at the rim in every way imaginable. Listed at 6â6â and a willing passer, Harris uses his frame as a weapon in ball screens to make reads that smaller guards simply cannot see.
His FTs are a bit of an adventure too. Really says something about his ability to finish at the rim with that low of outside and FT shooting - didnât stop him from putting up double figures every night.
His last game vs Auburn is a good summary:
In 38 minutes, he had 29 pts on 12-26 FG including 1-3 from 3, 4-9 FTs, 8 reb, 6 assists, 2 TOs and 2 Fouls.
