Maurice Harkless

SF, Portland Trail Blazers

Maurice Harkless started in Game 3 on Thursday and scored five points on 2-of-8 shooting with three rebounds, four assists and a 3-pointer.

Harkless started in place of Evan Turner, but it was rumored he would have started either way as the Blazers missed his versatility. It didn't do much this game though as the Pelicans ran away with this one from the start. He wasn't able to hit his triples and his defense was lackluster as the Pelicans wings lit the team up. It's going to take a lot more from Harkless and co. if the Blazers are going to claw back from this 0-3 deficit.
