Moe Harkless excels in preseason start for Blazers
Portland Trailblazers small forward Moe Harkless got the start for Monday's preseason game against the Utah Jazz, recording 10 points, 2 rebounds, 3 steals and 1 block in 23 minutes of action.
What It Means:
Harkless seems to be the favorite to win the small forward starting job over Evan Turner, who scored only 7 points in 26 minutes on Monday. Harkless has the versatility to play both forward positions, and he will likely see a lot of playing time this season.
Harkless averaged 6.4 points and 3.6 rebounds in 18.7 minutes per game for Portland last season. His 13.3 player efficiency rating and 10.4 percent total rebound rate were both career-highs, while he shot a .541 true shooting percentage.
