Coming into the 2015 NBA Draft as the slightly less hyped Harrison twin, Aaron Harrison will look to make a name for himself in the NBA despite being ranked as the 75th best prospect by DraftExpress.
The 6’5″, 210-pound shooting guard averaged 11 points per game for the Wildcats — good enough to lead Kentucky — on 39.5 percent shooting this past season, marking a decrease in production from Harrison’s freshman campaign. In his first year at Kentucky, he averaged 13.7 points while shooting 42.3 percent from the field.
His playing time also saw a steady drop this season, going from 32.6 minutes a game his first year to just 25.8 minutes this past season. Regarded as a top 2013 recruit out of high school, Harrison committed to Kentucky along with his twin, Andrew, after they led the Fort Bend Travis Tigers to the Class 5A state title in Texas. Here’s a look at his Suns draft profile.
