Skills are not all that one needs to get to the NBA, except if you are truly a blue chipper..and the kind of play Tony Harris can put up against locals is in no way a good barometer of how well he can matchup in the NBA, he is an undersized 2-guard who is a ballhog and unimpressive passing ability, siguro kung ang NBA 1-on-1 league he could have made it, but the NBA since its inception has always been a team game, Harris style of play, IMHO, is best suited in leagues where he can dominate the guards with his speed, agility, shooting and what have you

Speaking of Tony Harris, it's not that he's not fit to play in the NBA but he himself has expressed that he doesn't want to play in the NBA. Physically and with his skills he's one player deserving to be in the NBA but his heart and mind is not into it, he earns and likes to play more outside. He might be smaller and is a natural shooting guard than a point guard but with his speed, he's an able and reliable NBA player if he desires to. After all Allen Iverson proved that height is not everything at all. And especially suiting up for the Boston Celtics after sometime that Larry Bird, Kevin McHale and Robert Parish left, Harris had the chance to stand out for Boston (at least statistically) along with Reggie Lewis, Dee Brown and fellow ex-PBA import Kevin Gamble during those times.
