Notes from the 1999-2000 Harvard Team Prospectus:
Guard Andrew Gellert (4.0 ppg, 2.6 rpg) is a defensive stalwart who started the final six games last year and finished second on the squad in both assists (50) and steals (33). His versatility gives him playing potential at any of the three perimeter slots, although heâll be asked to handle the point at least at the start of the season.
