EvenMoney’s NBA Draft 2011 – Top 10 Power Forwards, #6

#6 – Justin Harper

Justin Harper is a legit 3point shooter with a back to the basket game. The key question hinges on whether he will do best as a versatile PF or be used as a rugged Small Forward.

His offensive game, complete with 45% from three-point land makes him a very safe pick. Justin can impact the game in many ways but does need to improve his playmaking and commit a bit more to the defensive side.

Still not convinced? Ponder the stats below and press play!
