Montrezl Harrell. 5. 77. . LA Clippers. Recent Stories. F-C. player

Montrezl Harrell burst onto the scene for the LA Clippers last season, going from afterthought of the Chris Paul trade to vital future asset in a matter of months.

Harrell really came into his own after the All-Star break, when he averaged 14.6 points and 4.3 rebounds in just over 20 minutes per game. From February 22 to April 11, Harrell scored in double-figures all but four times.

His biggest strength is his motor, which seemingly runs forever. Harrell is a hardcore hustler that has no intentions of slowing down or taking a break. To coaches, he offers a certain kind of consistency that isn’t always found in NBA players, and for that, they can bet on him to be productive night after night. It’s a very valuable trait to have, and it’s also the reason why Harrell could force his way into the starting rotation this season if he makes a big enough jump.

Harrell is also a legitimate candidate to be named the league’s Most Improved Player this season. Assuming he continues to improve his numbers like he did during the latter half of last season, the award is his to lose.

Trezz’s mobility is another underrated facet of his game. Time after time last season, we’d see Harrell gather a rebound and immediately charge down the court and score at the opposite basket. And when he wasn’t going down alone, he had no problem weaving his way in and out of defenders to get to the basket and finishing at the rim with his freakishly soft touch.

2019 is going to be a huge year for Trezz.
