Jalen Harris thriving as Arkansas' facilitator
FAYETTEVILLE — Jalen Harris is doing exactly what Mike Anderson is asking of him.
A transfer guard from New Mexico who sat out the 2017-18 season due to NCAA rules, Harris is just the type of pass-first floor general the Razorbacks have been missing since Jabril Durham left the program in 2016.
Harris is more than fulfilling his role as a facilitator this season.
In the Razorbacks’ first six games, the sophomore has totaled 39 assists and a near 6-to-1 assist-turnover ratio. On Nov. 21 against Montana State, Harris recorded his first career double-double, finishing with 11 points and 11 assists, which led to 28 Arkansas points.
