Harkless will join the Puerto Rican National Team for the upcoming FIBA Americas Championship, FIBA.com reports.

Analysis:

Harkless was scheduled to play with the Puerto Rican team last summer before withdrawing from the tournament in order to work on his game. Now, the 22-year-old forward will join the preliminary squad in training camp and is likely to earn a spot on the final roster. He's spent the summer working on his offensive game, and September's FIBA competition will be our first taste of his overall improvement.
