3. Aaron Harrison

Aaron Harrison should sound familiar to you — he’s the brother to Andrew Harrison, who currently plays for the Memphis Grizzlies. He and his brother both were stars for the great Kentucky Wildcats. While Andrew was drafted late in the second round, Aaron went undrafted.

The 6’6″ Harrison has played in the NBA a bit, appearing in a total of 27 games for the Charlotte Hornets. His NBA stats are nothing to drool over; in fact, they are not good at all. His average minutes played is 4.2, and in that span of time he put up 0.7 points, 0.7 rebounds and 0.2 assists per game. Why would the Celtics want that?

Harrison has been developing well in the G League with the Reno Big Horns (the Sacramento Kings’ affiliate). This season he’s putting up 17.2 points (on a 42.7 field goal percentage and 39.8 3-point percentage), 4.0 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.1 steals per game.

Of course the talent isn’t as great there as it is in the NBA, but those numbers are definitely a step in the right direction. Who knows? Maybe his development in the G League will mix well with the opportunity to play in the big leagues. Harrison could be beneficial to this team if he can continue to score the ball well.
