From ESPN

Chicago PG headed to C-USA

5-foot-10 point guard Fabyon Harris gave Southern Methodist head coach Matt Doherty a verbal commitment over the weekend, according to multiple sources.

Harris, who averaged 26.0 points and 6.0 assists per game for Hyde Park this season, chose the Mustangs over LaSalle and Nevada among others.

ESPN.com describes Harris as "a small lead guard that is quick with or without the ball. He pushes the ball where he breaks pressure with ease by weaving in and out of defenders and does a great job delivering the ball on the money with his excellent court vision.

"Fabyon can get in the lane where he can score with acrobatic finishes and has great body control. He can also score and in bunches when he gets into a groove.

"He can knock down the three and mid range jumper off the dribble that includes a step back but he's not an outstanding shooter. But he plays with passion and competes on both ends of the court.'

He's a real point, they just call him lead guard b/c he scores.

The thing I'd like to know is how he feels about kicking the ball back outside when he doesn't have a shot after driving in.

At 5'10", he'd better be a point guard, otherwise, he'll be eating jump shots if he tries to play the 2 spot.

You want your PG to be able to hit from 3 to help spread the defense...as long as he can also penetrate and dish. Let's hope he can play right away in this league, because we really need a PG for next year.
