[Black Bear Cuz]

The Miller kid helps, but this team still only wins 10 or 12 games. He is really all they have. He is a nice player (should play small college somewhere), but needs guys around him. I've watched him for several years and he requires great guard play, which I don't see Harlan having. He isn't a banger either. I don't see Harlan having a banger to compliment him in the post. From what I can see and from what I have heard they don't have a point guard, which will be the single biggest problem for them. Good teams have to have someone to run the show or guide the ship, so to speak, and they don't have that. The bottom line for Harlan is Miller will post good stats against weaker competition on their schedule, but will struggle against the better teams. I don't see them winning more than 12 games. They will lose to Harlan County or Bell county in the first round of the district tourny.

Dont get too carried away pal, the Green dragons will be a pretty decent team. Miller will require a lot of attention inside because he is a legitimate athletic threat with size. This attention will leave a lot of open looks for the other 6'6" kid (Simpson) and he can shoot the ball fairly well and will make ft's when he is fouled. They also have the coach's son ( Drew Parks) that shoots pretty well from the outside and they also have one of the toughest sophomore kids in the Region mentally and physically (Caleb Hogue) at guard and he will be older and more mature this year. I believe they have a couple more athletic kids that will play so dont sleep on these guys, they will be very competitive if the Miller kid plays like a man inside..
