Montrezl Dashay Harrell (born January 26, 1994) is an American basketball player who recently completed his college career at the University of Louisville and was drafted by the Houston Rockets in the 32nd pick in the draft. Harrell was a key player on the Cardinals' 2013 NCAA Tournament championship team, their appearance in the 2014 NCAA Tournament, and has remained with the team for the 2014–15 season. Harrell would then declare for the 2015 NBA draft after Louisville's run in the NCAA tournament ended.
High school career
Harrell, a 6'8" power forward from Tarboro, North Carolina, starred at North Edgecombe High School before prepping for a year at Hargrave Military Academy in Chatham, Virginia. There he led the team to a 38–1 record while averaging 25.2 points and 13.6 rebounds per game. Originally Harrell committed to play college basketball for coach Seth Greenberg at Virginia Tech, but after Greenberg was fired, Harrell was released from his commitment and chose Louisville.
College career
As a freshman, Harrell backed up power forward Chane Behanan, averaging 5.7 points and 3.6 rebounds in 16.2 minutes per game. He played his best at the end of the season, scoring 20 points in the Cardinals' Big East Conference championship victory over Syracuse. In his reserve role, Harrell helped the Cardinals win the 2013 NCAA championship to cap his freshman season.
With Gorgui Dieng's departure for the 2013 NBA draft, Harrell received recognition in the offseason leading to his sophomore year as one of the top returning players in the country. The Sporting News selected Harrell to the preseason All-America third team in its 2013–14 college basketball preview magazine. Harrell decided to stay for his junior season instead of opting for the NBA.
International career
In 2012, Harrell was a member of the United States team at the FIBA U18 World Championship that won Gold in São Paulo, Brazil.
