Harrellson makes case for more playing time with performance in China

Forward Josh Harrellson and guard Jon Hood, along with other collegiate players, recently traveled to China with Sports Reach for a two-week trip of China to play basketball and gain a new cultural appreciation for China and its people.

Playing against teams like the Bayi Basketball Club, traditionally one of the top teams in China, and a Russian all-star team, the Sports Reach team posted a 6-3 record.

Harrellson led the Sports Reach team for much of the trip, averaging 13.1 points and 9.2 rebounds per game. The senior-to-be shot 58.7 percent (54-of-92) from the field. Hood struggled a bit from the field but averaged 5.3 points and 4.3 rebounds per game.

The duo returned from China last week and sat down with reporters Wednesday to talk about their experience. Check out the video below and check in later on the blog for another story.
