Season Averages: 2.9 PPG, 2.4 RPG, 0.5 APG, 0.2 SPG, 0.5 BPG, FG% 46.3, 3PT% 38.7, FT% 71.4

Having come over from the Miami Heat, the expectations of Harrellson were for him to be a very limited role player, and that’s exactly what’s transpired. “Jorts,” as he is known, is an end of the bench guy, who can come in and offer an effective contribution from time to time. He also possesses the ability to stretch the floor as an efficient three point shooting big, which was something the Pistons otherwise lacked this year.

In need of improving: His mobility. If Harrellson got into slightly better shape, his opportunities, particularly from behind the arc, would likely improve in his limited minutes.

Grade: C-
