Playing Below The Radar

Basketball is a lot different than football when it comes to exposure. Not many places have passing leagues that go on during the summer to the degree that the AAU circuit goes on during the basketball off season. In my mind basketball has no off season especially when it comes to AAU games, tournaments, and workouts. With so much time to improve and mold a players game it usually doesn't take long for players to get noticed.

Well in the case of K.T. Harrell, getting notice to the degree that he is now took a little longer than usual. K.T. who is a shooting guard out of Montgomery, AL is very solid. Now some would say that isn't really a compliment. Well in my mind it speaks volumes as to how good this 6'4 guard's game really is. K.T. is the type of player that can shoot, defend, rebound, and anything else a coach would ask of him. He just understands how to play the game and works extremely hard in order to continue to improve his game.

K.T. is valuable as a defender because he knows how to use his body and hands in the passing land, and moves his feet extremely well in order to gain position on players. He also has a very good offensive game. He has one of the more developed mid range games that you will see on the high school level. That coupled with his ability to knock down shots from beyond the arc consistently make him very dangerous. If K.T. continues to improve his ball handling and his much underrated post game (very nice fade away jumper) he will cause a lot of problems for opposing teams. Check out his clips an let me know what you think.....
