Brooklyn Nets: 3 reasons re-signing Joe Harris is a good move

1. Value to the Brooklyn Nets

Most importantly, signings are about team fit. In Harris’ case, he fits into Atkinson’s attack perfectly as a catch-and-shoot sniper.

Hi quick trigger allows Atkinson to specifically design curl routes and cuts to get him open, because he only needs a sliver of separation to get the job done. His execution level is high, as is his basketball I.Q.

Harris plays within himself, which is all anyone should ask of him. His role as a spot-up shooter who can hit shots in motion is perfect, especially on a team that shoots so many 3s.

He can continue to play within this role no matter who else the Nets get. Shooting is the bedrock of a modern offense, so Harris will always have a quality role.

The threat of his marksmanship opens up driving lanes for not only himself, but teammates too. D’Angelo Russell and Spencer Dinwiddie can continue to feed him on kick-outs and off-ball screens, and the ball movement can continue to chug along.

Harris is the ideal rotational sniper, because he knows his role, and he does it well. The Brooklyn Nets did a great job of locking him up before other teams could scoop him up, and hopefully this is one of many re-signings he makes over the rest of his career.
