Harry Van Hattum scouting report
There's going to be plenty of discussion about Van Hattum as one of the leading talls in next year's crop. The 205cm prospect can also play as a key forward and got a taste of the under-18s system this year playing for Vic Metro late in the championships. Van Hattum is athletic and uses his body frame well to be an exciting prospect.

More from the scouting notes
Standing 205cm with a basketball background, he possesses the rare coordination and "soft hands" to dominate hit-outs like Max Gawn while remaining a massive aerial threat on the lead like Darcy.
Where could he fit in your mock draft?
Use the projected range as a starting point, then compare the role with other available players. A range is an assessment of the pool, not a community average or a confirmed club preference.
