HLA Alicante and Tyler Harris, a United States born guard from 1998, reached an agreement for him to join the Lucentina roster. Standing 175 cm tall, Harris arrives in Alicante after a standout stretch in the NCAA with South Florida, where he developed into one of the conference’s top players.
During his time with the Bulls, Harris averaged impressive numbers, contributing 16.9 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 3.3 assists per game. The move to Lucentina comes after a career that included familiar footprints across several major college programs. Harris previously wore the uniforms of Memphis, Iowa State, and South Florida, building a resume that highlights his scoring ability and playmaking instincts. His decision to move to Alicante marks the next step in a career that has seen him excel at multiple levels of college basketball in the United States.
In the most recent season, Harris earned a spot on the American Conference All-Conference team, a nod to his consistency and impact. He also set a college mark with multiple games featuring high-volume three-point shooting, underscoring his threat from beyond the arc and his ability to change the course of a game with his range.
Asier Alonso’s Remarks
“He is a 175 cm playmaker who will begin his professional journey as he closes out his university career. He has starred across three universities, starting at Memphis where he quickly became a key contributor and left a lasting impact. He later moved to Iowa State and then South Florida, where he established himself as one of the conference’s leading players. Physically, he is fast, athletic, and possesses explosive qualities. His strength lies in his three-point shooting, where he has reliable velocity and strong accuracy. He can score in variety of manners, such as off the block or off a drive. Defensively, he can guard multiple positions and moves quickly to contest plays. There is potential on both ends of the floor.”
