Maurice Harkless is an American professional basketball player with an estimated net worth of $1 million. Harkless currently plays with the Orlando Magic of the National Basketball Association. He is 6’9″ and weighs 220 pounds. Maurice Jose “Moe” Harkless was born on May 11, 1993 in New York City, New York. Harkless is of Puerto Rican descent and played his sophomore and junior seasons at Forest Hills High School where he distinguished himself with several accolades including being named the New York Daily News Queens High School Player of the Year. For his senior year, he transferred to South Kent High School and averaged 27.2 points, over 13 rebounds and 4.2 assists, garnering attention from major colleges in the country.
Harkless decided to stay close to home for college as he attended St. John’s University and averaged 15.5 points and 8.6 rebounds as a freshman. For his play, he was named the Big East Conference Men’s Basketball Rookie of the Year. His success also convinced Harkless that he was ready to play at the next level and so he made himself eligible for the 2012 NBA Draft, where he was selected with the 15th overall pick by the Philadelphia 76ers. Less than two months later, however, Harkless was traded to the Orlando Magic as part of the deal which sent Dwight Howard to the Los Angeles Lakers.
In his first season with the Magic, Harkless put up admirable numbers averaging 8.2 points per game, 4.4 rebound and 1 steal. He scored a career high 28 points against the Houston Rockets and topped 20 points four times in his initial campaign. The highlight of his season was a 19 point, 14 rebound game against Milwaukee. Harkless’ performances and ancestry have gained the attention of the Puerto Rican national team which is currently lobbying for him to play for the team in international tournaments.
