Donnell Harris used the BBall Spotlight Future Phenom camp weekend
as his personal showcase and coming out party; the new star of the class of 2021
dominated from start to finish securing a spot in the camp All-Star game and taking
home the camps MVP award for the class.
Starting on the defensive end Harris is a shot blocking stud;
he has enormous length and good timing but what is most impressive about him is
his ability to try and challenge as many shots as possible for a young front
court player. By merely contesting shots on his own man or chasing down an
opponent's his presence is felt anytime anyone gets near the lane. Donnell plays with energy and urgency. He run
the floor well and in transition he can catch on the move and finish; he showed
a great ability to seal his defender in the low post for point blank scoring
position whenever he desired.
With a prototypical basketball frame and an intense support network
which include a dad with great size and length; the 6’2 Harris has a huge upside
and a high ceiling as there is still ample room for physical and skill growth. Donnell Harris has merely scratched the
surface of what he will be before he steps into high school – he is a must
watch moving forward. Previously P2BBall
witnessed Harris playing up a year in the 2020 age group at AAU Nationals where
he was also effective; but in the 2021 class he is a game changer and a unstoppable
force scoring equally as well versus double teams and sometimes triple teams. He exhibited patience in the post and looked
to create passing lanes for penetrating guards stepping to open spots catching
and finishing consistently. When he did
miss, he was his best rebounder – statistically he produced double doubles
every game he played.
Harris has the athleticism to play all 3 front court positions
and in the future Harris projects to be an ideal combo forward. One thing for sure
and two things for certain Harris is going to be a problem for years to come - with
the prowess to scores in a variety of ways inside the arc using quick straight
line slashes and baseline finishes his overall package will without question
have him rated as one of the nation’s best in our upcoming national rankings.
