Player Profile

References

“Jared is a true pro. He understands the game, plays to his strengths, knows how to score and can hit the 20-25 foot jumper consistently; he has the heart to play defense against anyone and hold his own. If you are looking for a player that can help your team win, then his name is Jared Harding.”
Cliff Levingston, former 2-time NBA Champion (Chicago Bulls)

“Simply said, Jared is a tough, tough basketball player. He’s an unconventional guard whom I’d compare with Steve Nash. Jared handles defensive ball pressure extremely well, shoots the ball like a John Paxton or a Steve Kerr, and plays very good defense. It’s clear he knows the game inside and out.”
Shawn Jones, SEBL Coach

“Jared’s work ethic and discipline has made him into an excellent basketball player on the court and an outstanding person off the court.”
Matt Barnett, Professional Player Development Coach

“Jared is probably the hardest working player I’ve ever met. His motivation and work ethic is contagious, and along with his will to succeed, he will thrive in any situation. Jared is a great team person and will do whatever is necessary to help the team. It was an honor to play with him and I hope to have the chance to do it again some day.”
Nathan Selsby, Australian pro basketball player
