High School Phenom Fading in College Shadows at NCCU
Raekwon Harney, a high school standout from Winston-Salem Prep who won a 2013 NCHSAA 1A state title and boasted senior-year averages of 11.3 points, 10.0 assists, and 4.9 steals, has struggled to translate that flash to college, posting modest 2017-18 stats at North Carolina Central of 2.2 PPG, 1.1 RPG, 2.0 APG, and 37.9% FG over limited minutes. His elite playmaking vision and defensive tenacity shine in bursts, but inconsistent scoring and adjustment to college speed raise fit questions for teams seeking immediate impact guards—better as a developmental bench spark than a starter.
