In the last 6 months he's developed a lot more mature attitude and his head seems to now be in the right place. Got a very mature attitude, can easily compete at ABA level - it's up to him whether he takes it to college or further.
As to point guard/shooting guard .. he has more to offer as a scoring point guard than as a pure shooting guard.

Harri , if you are out there, take it as a compliment that people are putting your name forward. They can bag and belittle you but it means they see you as a future threat to their game!

His bigggest weakness is his decision making I think. He often shoots when he should pass or put the ball on the floor, and also often passes it especially on the drive when laying it up is the best option. This in turn leads to him usually having a high turn over count. But he is young, the decision making will come with experience. Other than that he has all the qualities of a very good point guard... Extremely quick first step, good on both hands, good shooter when he is confident, and can guard other quick guards. His downfall in terms of making it any further than ABL, like so many before him is his height. I can't see him growing too much more, and correct me if i'm wrong but I don't think there are any players in the NBL as small as him.

He should go to college as a good college career seems to have more weight in becoming an NBL player these days than playing well at ABL does, especially if not involved at AIS. Would be good to see where he is at in 4 years...the kid possibly could make it professonally... time will tell I guess.

I will say this, he is a very level headed fella. Quiet bloke, but never says a bad word about anyone so people saying crap about him is pretty low. Sure be constuctive, but no need to bag a good bloke!

his biggest weakness is decision making?

i beg to differ, the reason he is so brilliant is how he finds his teammates and creates easy shots. I would say decision making is one of his strengths

ABL-level players are open to discussion. Just keep it fair - I'm not aware of anything this guy has done at ABL level that would warrant criticism.

He is no longer ABL. Chose to sit out the rest of this season to focus on study.

harri harvey would have to be one of the best guards in his age group. i think people need to stop bagging his game and just let the kid play.

and as for harri as a person. he is wonderful. im good friends with him and what you people say is definately not true so you obviously dont know him.

stop bagging him for the way he plays just because he's got more game than you

Under 20 nationals this year Harri was 2nd in assists out of everyone from all teams, and 5th in steals.

Pretty sure his assisting and defence are fine buddy.

Though i will concede that he may turn it over too much (1st in T/0), but man he can play

But he isn't as good as the guards from the age group below, he got spanked when the U20 State team got beaten by the U18 State team.

alright so you all need to look at this seriously, harri harvey is one of the greatest guards for his age going around. and who cares if he turns is over a bit, he makes opportunities for everyone to score. and just because he has more game than you, stop bagging yooooooo
