Los Angeles Lakers: 5 free agent targets to repeat in 2020-21

3. Joe Harris

Joe Harris always finds himself in the conversation regarding as to who the league’s best 3-point shooter is. About to hit free agency, Harris will be one of the hottest names on the market with a play style that suits pretty much every team.

Since getting traded away from…well, LeBron’s team in 2016, Harris has blossomed into an incredible catch-and-shoot type of player. Perhaps even the best in the business.

During these past four seasons with the Brooklyn Nets, Harris has averaged 12.0 points per game on 43 percent shooting from behind the arc. He now holds the 12th best career 3-point shooting percentage in league history, at 42.63 percent, surpassing players like Klay Thompson and J.J. Redick.

In the absence of Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving, it was up to Harris, amongst others, to carry the scoring load in Brooklyn this year. As a result, Harris upped his scoring averages and had his hand in helping his team make it to the 2020 Playoffs.

Harris can become the next Ray Allen, Shane Battier or Kyle Korver alongside LeBron. Adding a driving force like James next to a sharpshooter like Harris is a recipe made for success and a must-have in order to repeat as 2020-21 NBA champions.
