SALTY DOG

NBA ROLE: ATHLETIC HYBRID FORWARD

Moe ‘How Could You Be So’ Harkless – long, slender 3/4 w/ a quick first step – rebounds, runs the floor & defends as a hybrid forward; sometimes too easygoing but Moe thrives as a hustle man, rim runner & baseline cutter; not the most inventive attacker off the bounce but can score in the paint w/ short hooks after driving; slow release on his jumper (steadily improving from deep), needs to work on more 1-2 dribble counters after faking; could become a two-way force as game improves; experienced but still possesses some upside* – can Moe develop into a (more) reliable option?; acquired by Hawks (2022) – veteran defender off the bench

*game could evolve more as he ages & settles into a long-term role w/ his team
