European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - July 3, 1991, Darmstadt, Hesse Page 22 b the stars and stripes wednesday july 3,1991commentary one of the most talented player eligible for last weeks National basketball association draft possibly is on the Loose a after having gone unclaimed unsigned and largely unnoticed. His name is Jerome Harmon a 6-foot-3v-Inch guard from Louisville and one Man in particular Rich Steinlauf finds it remarkable that Harmony a still fancy free. Steinlauf who runs the Complete Box score inc., a one Man College draft consulting service in Manhattan finds it Odd based on Harmony a ability but understandable in Light of his history. A the first time i saw Harmon a said Steinlauf a was on a nationally televised game against Urcla two seasons ago and Billy Packer said a in a not going to predict that he a going to be another Michael Jordan or David Thompson but those Are the Only two College players i can recall who have this kind of leaping ability combined with such a soft a Harmon had seemed to come out of nowhere. Though a Star High school player in Gary ind., Harmon sat out his College freshman year As a proposition 48 Case and lost his Sophomore year because of a Back injury that required surgery. He did no to Start his Junior year but averaged almost 15 Points a game while playing Only 25 minutes As a sixth Man. Lbs commentator Quinn Buckner called him a the Best sixth Man in the meanwhile Steinlauf who has consulted for several Aba teams Over the last few years was keeping his Gimlet Eye on the player getting films of Louisville games and studying them in his Home As he does 100 or so other top players in some 400 games a year. He grades them on some 2,000 plays Over about 10 games but also tries to notice the nuances a thei Daberkow things that done to show up in the Box score a even when after hours in the dark room his eyelids begin to Droop. A the nuances a he said a Are what scouting has come Down to. Will the athleticism of a player allow him to Excel in the pros As he has in College a or As Sherlock Holmes said in a the sign of the four a a some facts should be suppressed or at least a just sense of proportion should be observed in treating last season Tharmon was declared academically ineligible. And part of the a a nuances for Steinlauf was to find out if this player was in the psychological parlance of basketball coaches a a head now it got deeper. Or again As Holmes might have said a the game is Steinlauf always on the prowl for a a Sleeper a called several coaches. A i think he a a can to miss Aba player who just hated school a said . Turk head coach of Southern Mississippi. A Kenny Anderson will beat Yourwith the fancy Dan dribbling and passing act but Jerome Harmon will just come out and Wallop Steinlauf competes with several others in this Field and has been at it for four years now following seven years As a sportswriter. A what i can bring to projections that Many others can to said Steinlauf a is a scientific system. I Grade the players on these thousands of plays. Then i Call coaches and i interview the Over the years he has graded among others Rod Strickland and Tim Hardaway higher than the pros did in the draft and proved to be on target. Last year though he chose Gerald Glass of Minnesota As a co no. 1 pick with Dennis Scott Over Derrick Coleman the eventual no. 1 draft pick by the nets and subsequent Rookie of the year. Glass was chosen 20th by the Timber wolves. A i think the jury is still out on Glass a Steinlauf said. A the did no to get the playing time he deserved. But i also should have Given Coleman a Little More credit for quickness one of those Steinlauf believes the Best player in the latest draft was Doug Smith of Missouri. But teams often get stuck in a Mode about highly publicized Guys Steinlauf noted. A Smith May be the Best big Forward to come out of College since Larry Bird a said Steinlauf of the player chosen sixth Over All by Dallas. As for Harmon several teams according to his agents James Ellis and Junior Bridgeman have expressed interest including Milwaukee and Chicago. Chicago profited this past season from the play of one overlooked free agent from last years draft Scott Williams a i interviewed Jerome and 23 others at the All Star Camp in Chicago in june a Steinlauf said. A i liked Harmon a lot. He told me a i did the wrong thing by not going to and he was the Only player to ask me How he might get videotapes of the games. He said a i consider myself a serious student of the like Steinlauf. Like deductively Holmes. The new York times rain from Page 28 a the game on the next Point. When. Edburg served an Ace to Start the eighth game Mcenroe screamed to a Linesman that the Ball was wide by a foot marked the spot with his Racket argued with the Umpire and finally returned with his head still shaking. Three Points later Edburg won the game at love. Mcenroe argued mightily about a Call on a service Winner by Edberg in the 10th game but lost both the beef and the game a again at love. Yet through it All Mcenroe managed to hold his serve fending off Brealer Points in the first and 11th games and push the set to a tiebreaker. The purpose of All his protests and dramatics Mcenroe said was to find a Way to break de bergs serve. Edberg did no to let it bother him As he dropped Only one Point in his last four service games of the first set. A you want every Call to be right because he a Tough to break a Mcenroe said. A the volleys real Well behind his serve and 1 had some opportunities. A a that a Why when people make mistakes by that much it throws you a Little bit because you Hope they re As into the match As you Are. Every Little Point counts on grass. You get up 0-15, and it just puts a Little bit of thinking in a persons mind. I think i was making him feel a Little bit but the complaints became a distraction for Mcenroe his concentration wandered and his Tennis collapsed. He smacked a forehand Volley., Long after serving to open the tiebreaker and fell behind 5-1. He scratched Back to 5-4, including on a feathery Light Vintage Volley but wound up losing 7-4 when he netted an easy backhand Volley at set Point. Mcenroe a groan resounded in the upper reaches of the stadium. That was the end of the match right there a even with at least two sets to go. Mcenroe slumped in his chair burying his face in a Towel while his wife Tatum of Neal and Friend guitarist Eric Clapton fidgeted in their seats. Edberg turned up his game a notch playing flawlessly All Over the court As he won 15 straight Points in one stretch and 20 of 22 to take the second set in 23 minutes. While Mcenroe moaned or stared at linesmen Edberg jauntily flipped his Racket and played on. Mcenroe finally broke de bergs serve for the Only time in the match and went ahead 3-0 in the third set. But Edberg went on another Sweet surge winning 20 of 25 Points to take the next five games and closed out the match at love in the last game with a service Winner. Mcenroe a final outburst a the one that could result in a Fine a came in the eighth game of the third set when he cursed repeatedly at a Linesman about an Ace by Edberg that he thought was out by a foot. Mcenroe a three time Wimbledon Winner and two time run Nerup calmed Down As soon As the match ended and graciously called Edberg a a natural on grass. A the deserves his due. He outplayed me a Mcenroe said. Mcenroe said he still plans on playing Tennis one More to give himself a final shot at winning a major championship again.
