Angle Fantasy Basketball
"Elijah Harkless is a gritty, defense first, energy guard that has the makings of a future rotation player on a good team. While more of a undersized 2 guard than a point, what he lacks in statistical output he makes up for in BBIQ and leadership on the defensive side of the ball."
