Montrezl Harrell: “I Haven’t Been An All-Star, I Haven’t Been To An NBA Finals, I Haven’t Won A Championship. There’s A Lot Of Untapped Potential I Feel Like I Can Reach.”

27-year-old big man Montrezl Harell is just two years removed from his Sixth Man of the Year campaign. In fact, over his three-year tenure with the Clippers, he became a popular and recognizable name within the community.

And after his moderately successful run with the Clippers ended, he was brought on by the Purple and Gold in their quest to repeat as Champions.

In the end, not only did they fail in that mission, but Trez was actively benched for most of the season by head coach Frank Vogel.

In the aftermath of such a disappointing performance, Harrell spoke to the media about his arrival to D.C., and what fans should expect from him this upcoming season:

(via NBC Sports Washington)

“I haven’t been an All-Star in this league since I’ve been here. …I haven’t been to an NBA Finals, I haven’t won a championship. There’s a lot of things I haven’t done as a player, so there’s a lot of untapped [potential] that I feel like I can reach.

Each season that I’ve been in this league, my stats and my work ethic and the things I’ve been doing in this game have gradually improved each year.”

As a former Sixth Man of the Year and a key member of the Clippers, Trez has already proven that he can produce some big numbers.

During his last season with the Clippers, he averaged 18.6 points, 7.1 rebounds, and 1.1 blocks per game on 58% shooting.

With the Lakers, though, his poor defense got exposed and he became virtually unplayable for the majority of the season.

After just 69 total games with the Lakers, Harrell was sent to D.C. as part of the Westbrook trade, and nobody knows what comes next for him.

Can he rebound his career and return to his status as one of the NBA’s best role-players, or have his best days already passed him by?

It remains to be seen, but there is still hope that this change of scenery will bring new and unseen success for Trez.

The Wizards, meanwhile, will use his talents (along with others) to try and return to the NBA playoffs.
