Harris was a middling offensive player with the exception of the 3 seasons he played with a peak Cyclone Taylor. His intangibles are also very poorly fleshed out.
As I've said before, his "glue guy" reputation seems to be a result of my pimping of him a few years ago - basically by riding a minimal number of quotes, some of which may not even have been about him.
Well...did you read my bio I've added more quotes about him, I agree he's not a good fit as the primary physical or defensive presence but as the second best guy in that role on the line I think he definitely belongs in an ATD this size.

His offensive resume is pretty fine IMO for this point in my bio I breakdown his career and his PPG is actually the same when he played in Portland versus his three years playing with prime Taylor.
