Montrezl Harrell Downfall into Obscurity

[ArbitraryWater]

1984_lakers just mentioned him and I find his case pretty unique.


Harrell had b2b 17/19 ppg seasons with top 3 6MOY incl winning MOY his 4th and 5th year into the league, he then was a point off 3 straight 15 ppg seasons, while shooting at a 60% clip.

He did this on big market playoff teams (Clippers, lakers).


After getting shipped from the lakers he saw his role reduced on worse teams, and after his injury last year hes now playing in Australia.


Surely we havent seen the last of him?

I guess this shows how much the game has moved on even in these 5 years.

Harrell is absolutely no shooting threat, and also not the biggest rebounder, but he was a big energy guy and did his thing.

Hated this dude on the Lakers, could get buckets but was such a defensive liability.

I would say his defense and known bad attitude was his downfall.

True, didnt really make a dent defensively.

He’s done. His attitude hasn’t changed. His recent news of not being in a team huddle is all you need to know about his future in the NBA. He’s playing in Australia

So if your mother names you “MONTREZL”, you can be rest assured, you are not going to breeze thru life on easy mode, with a top shelf brain.
