Pure scorer.

Gary Harris has developed into one of the Nugget’s top scoring threats as he enters year five.

Harris can get and finish strong at the rim due to his explosive first step to blow by defenders and his athleticism to finish through contact.

Harris has developed an impeccable mid-range game that is utilized by his incredible reads off of screens.

Finally, he has become a lethal 3-point shooter, ranking in the Top 10 in 3-point percentage last year according to ESPN.com.
