St. John's forward Moe Harkless is working out at the IMG Basketball Academy ahead of the 2012 NBA Draft.
"I've been working on my body, getting my ball-handling a lot tigheer, and getting a lot of reps as far as shooting," Harkless told HoopsWorld. "A lot of people think I can't really shoot the ball . . . I can shoot the ball really well, and I can dribble the ball better than people expect."
Harkless, who declared for the draft after one year at St. John's, also spoke a lot about what he feels he brings to the table: versatility.
"I'm trying to show [teams] how versatile I am," Harkless said. "I can do pretty much anything out there on the floor. I can defend multiple positions and play multiple positions, and I think once people see that, they'll be real interested."
As a freshman, Harkless averaged 15.3 points and 8.6 rebounds per game.
