Against the Pistons, harrell's first game since he was traded to the Hornets, he had a big harvest. In the 22nd minute, Harrell had 15 points, 6 rebounds and 1 assist. Also efficient, Harrell hit 7 goals in 9 shots. Also helped the Hornets win 141-119, Harrell can be described as a double happiness.
It is often said that a good start is half the battle, but that is not the case for Harrell. Because there is a good start, but the performance is already very common for Harrell.
In the 2015 draft, Harrell was selected by the Rockets with the 32nd pick in the second round. This player in the NBA is like a carp across the river, most of them become passers-by, and soon disappear without a trace. But Harrell became the exception, and he quickly made a name for himself. Having scored 29 points in a single game, Harrell also had 28 points and 12 rebounds in a single game. Seen as a rising potential star, Harrell has also become an important bargaining chip for the Rockets to trade Paul.
After being traded to the Clippers, Harrell changed owners, but his prestige did not diminish. In the 2017-18 season, Harrell averaged 17 minutes per game, scoring 11 points and 4 rebounds, and it was not uncommon to reach 20 points in a single game. In the next 2 seasons, Harrell did not lack outstanding performances, and in the 2019-20 season, he won the best 6th man award.
But after the end of the season, Harrell did not get a satisfactory contract extension from the Clippers, but switched to the Lakers. There are 2 reasons for this. Harrell plays with great style and can often play gorgeous data, but the shortcomings are also obvious. At just 2.06 meters tall, Harrell is mainly active on the inside, resulting in a natural shortcoming in defence. To make matters worse, Harrell was not interested in defending and did not practice excellent defensive skills. Often dragging his feet on the defensive end, Harrell is difficult to rely on to fight hard battles. Even Harrell's offense has many problems, and he is too paranoid when it comes to impacting the basket. For example, when playing blocking and dismantling, Harrell will be very angry if he can't receive the ball. If he receives the ball, Harrell will rush to the basket without hesitation, regardless of how many people are defending him. Offensive inefficiency became the norm, Harrell was hiding in the snow more often, and in the Clippers' final season of the playoffs, he was reduced to a marginal man.
Second, Harrell couldn't keep his mouth shut. If you don't play well on the pitch, Harrell will go crazy. In an interview, Harrell also insinuated to his teammates. On social media, Harrell has not stopped, and has publicly expressed dissatisfaction with his teammates and teams. Such Harrell has obviously become an unstable member of the dressing room, affecting the unity of the team.
Even after leaving the Clippers, Harrell never let go of his old club. In particular, Harrell once again denounced the Clippers when the Lakers also had a great start and shined. There have also been 26 points and 12 rebounds in a single game, and Harrell was once very beautiful. But in the Lakers, Harrell's technology did not change in essence, and eventually fell into the ranks of marginal people again. He couldn't keep his mouth shut again, and Harrell also made a blatant mockery of the Lakers teammates.
At the Lakers, Harrell also became an undesirable person, playing only one season before being traded to the Wizards. At the beginning of the season, Harrell exploded in the Wizards, scoring 24 points and 18 rebounds in a single game. Exactly, at that time, the Lakers were in trouble again, and Harrell once again unscrupulously mocked the old owner. However, the good times did not last long, and Harrell also encountered difficulties in the Wizards. Without looking for a problem from himself, Harrell complained again about his teammates, even openly suggesting that boss Bill was playing too alone. Once again becoming an unstable person, it is inevitable that Harrell will be traded again.
Joining which team to spray which team, but also often mock the old owner, Harrell has become the NBA's active number one troll. For Harrell, if he wants to really turn over and gain a long foothold in the Wasps, in addition to making up for the technical shortcomings, he also has to control his mouth. Otherwise, you can only continue to wander.
