Harge says,”The most important parts of my game involve being an aggressive defender, breaking down the defense, being able to score when needed, and making the other players better.” Harge explains his game as “It’s hard to explain. I am quick and can get to where I want to on the floor to either get my shot off or involve other players. I feel that I need to work on staying aggressive, talking more on the court, and increasing my athletic ability.”
