NCAA Basketball Recruiting: Standout performers at 2019 Peach Jam
Dajuan Harris – MOKAN Elite
CG | 6-foot-1 | 160 lbs | No. 107 overall
Dujan Harris was a major reason for MOKAN Elite’s success at Peach Jam. Even though his statistics might not jump off the computer screen, many experts would agree that he was one of the most impressive players at the event. He defends at an incredibly high level for point guard and that is a skill that should immediately translate to the next level. He boasts outstanding foot speed and quick instincts to intercept passes or poke away loose balls. Additionally, he dictates the tempo of games as well and understands where to lead his open teammate for easy buckets.
Over the course of the event, he posted averaged of 7.2 points, 4.4 rebounds, 8.0 assist, and 1.8 steals per game. He impacted the game in just about every way, even though he is not a particularly polished scorer. To put it simply, Harris is a rock-solid leader with big-time floor general potential. He may never be seen as a “star” because he is not a great scorer, but he is the type of point guard that lots of programs will want running their offense.
As of right now, all five Crystal Ball predictions regarding Harris are in favor of Kansas. The Jayhawks have been quite successful in the past with floor general point guards and he could be the next in line. His ability to dictate pace would fit nicely in head coach Bill Self’s scheme and defensive-minded point guards can be exceedingly important in this 3-point era.
