Only one fact matters when discussing Zion Harmon’s slightly controversial high school basketball career: the class of 2021 PG is an incredible hooper. Well, there’s one more: he keeps getting better.
ZION HARMON has changed high schools a few times, a fact that has brought headlines and headaches but isn’t worth spending a lot of time on here. We care less about eligibility drama than we do whether a kid can play.
And this kid can hoop. A 5-11, 175-pound junior-to-be, Harmon has spent the past few years making his case as the best point guard in the 2021 class. He showed that most recently in March, at the final of the Grind Session, where he led Bella Vista (AZ) Prep to a 96- 94 victory over LaMelo Ball and SPIRE (OH) Institute. Harmon went for 23 points, 9 rebounds and 6 dimes in the title game, just the latest example of him showing out against the elite competition. It’s all the more impressive considering how his 2018-19 season began.
