Zadar complete their 2021/22 roster as they pen a 1-year deal with Kevon Harris

Zadar have added the last piece to their 2021/22 team puzzle as they signed a 1-contract with 24-year-old American shooting guard Kevon Harris.

Harris is a former star player of Stephen F. Austin State University for which he played from 2016 to 2020. In his last year at the college he averaged 17,5 points and 5,7 rebounds per game.

After finishing his studies, Kevon Harris joined NBA G League side Raptors 905 where he spent the previous season.

“Kevon Harris is our new player and we have now completed the roster for the next season. I liked Harris from the first time I saw him and over the past 20 days we have been trying to complete this transfer. Harris is exactly the type of player I was looking for in this transfer period. He is strong on the ball, very good in 1-on-1 game and on top of that he is a good 3-point shooter. Thanks to his excellent physical abilities, he should have no problems playing in a tough ABA League competition. I have received info from various sides that Harris is a very good person who is willing to work hard and who is eager to prove himself,” said Zadar head coach Ivan Perinčić.

Kevon Harris je novi igrač Zadra

Kevon Harris novi je igrač Zadra! 24-godišnji Amerikanac prošle sezone je igrao za Raptors 905 iz Mississauge u NBA G-ligi. Četiri godine je proveo na sveučilištu Stephen F. Austin, u posljednjoj sezoni je u prosjeku bilježio 17,5 poena i 5,7 skokova. Jednu predstavu koju svi zaljubljenici američke sveučilišne košarke pamte, je velika pobjeda SF Austina protiv Dukea kad je Kevon upisao 26 poena, po 4 skoka i asistencije uz 3 ukradene lopte. 198 cm visok Harris je igrač koji može igrati na poziciji dva i tri. Ugovor je potpisao na jednu godinu.

“Kevon Harris je naš novi igrač, s njim smo kompletirali roster za sljedeću sezonu. On mi se svidio na prvu i u zadnjih 20 dana smo gledali kako to možemo realizirati. Baš takav profil igrača sam tražio, jak na lopti, sposoban kreirati višak u igri jedan na jedan i da je dobar šuter za tri poena. Po svojim fizičkim predispozicijama bez problema bi trebao odgovoriti na zahtjeve ABA lige. S više strana sam dobio informacije da se radi o jako dobroj mladoj osobi koja voli raditi i željan je dokazivanja,” komentirao je novog igrača Ivan Perinčić.
