Harris Sucks as a PG

A pull up jumper requires no ball movement. I don't mean if he is wide open in space and pulls up, I mean if he has a defender and tries to pull up in his face. Just generally not a great play, especially if you aren't a great shooter.
Also add to that that mid-range jumpshots are the least efficient shots you can take in basketball and that taking them off the dribble makes them even less efficient.

It's all about getting to the rim, getting to the line, and shooting threes. Harris has shown that he can do all of those things, even if totally erratic on a night-to-night basis.
 
8 assist, including a clutch pick n roll executed between him and Big Al to tie the game up late.

As an old school Jazz fan, it frustrates me to see a big roll to the basket only to have the ball passed to the opposite side of the court which ends in a reset or rushed shot, however, the last couple of games they seem to be doing a better job of running the pick and roll.
 
This is not your prototypical, "Stockton to Malone" type basketball we are playing right now with this roster. Get over it folks. Things can work in different ways. I think Watson and Harris compliment each other well and fill each other's holes. At this point, it's Corbin's job to make the pieces fit.
 
Hey, if Harris can learn to do the pick and roll, welcome to the team. Maybe he needs a few signature assist plays that everyone knows, and can anticipate. Just because he isn't naturally a pass first guard doesn't mean that he can't integrate enough of it into his game to keep defenses on their toes.
