Welcome to Charlotte Aaron (?) Harrison

Could the Bojan rumors have to do with trying to figure out the roster ahead of making the decision on whether to cut or guarantee Harrison for the rest of the year? I wonder if he's part of the package in trade discussions. It wouldn't surprise me if he was. It would just be due diligence to ask around the league if anyone wants him in a trade package, even as filler, before deciding on cutting or guaranteeing.

Salary officially guaranteed. We now have 15 fully-guaranteed contracts.

Why is this guy on the roster? It has to take a crisis of biblical proportions for Clifford thaw out Brian Roberts or Troy Daniels from the bench so this guy is here why?

Looks like the Hornets are stashing him in OKC till they get the Greensborough Swarm up and running next season.

No idea. We could really use a backup center that doesn't suck rhinoceros dick

I like Harrison and I think it will be good for his development to get some time in the DL at this point.

I do think practicing with the team so far will have only helped him though.

Harrison is a development guy that they are afraid to cut because they think he is going to be a player sooner than later.....but not right now

I agree with the FO.

He can do a little bit of everything without standing out in one area, these guys when they are as young as him, can develop into something in this league imo.

Yeah that was unfortunate timing, was wondering if they'd yank him right back up.

Probably planning on him having a more prominent role next season since only Kemba is currently under contract at the PG position.

I think he'll play third string PG/SG next season.

He can develop without needing too much time or cap space.

His versatility will help with roster space and if he doesn't work out then he's easy to cut.

I hope we sign either Cliff Alexander or Christian Wood next season for the same reason.

This guy has the potential to be a legit 6th guard in about four years. Great use of a roster spot.

JMAC3 · Post #96 » by **JMAC3** » Sun Jan 31, 2016 11:24 pm

I really like Harrison and I think he is worth the roster spot. He is a 6'5'' young athletic guard who has shown he has PG skills. He has a good looking shot, can play defense, and is still realllllllly young.

Next year when we have our own DLeague team I think we will develop him to be a backup PG for the long-term if everything works out. I think he could be an Austin Rivers type guy down the line. Good defender of PG, decent three point shooter, and athletic enough to put pressure on the defense.

Plus he has the size to play the 2 if need be, which is never a bad thing with one of most important players being our PG.

in the meantime, when 7 guys are injured he still can't get minutes

he's not even worth 6 hard fouls. surely we can get more immediate value out of his seat on the bench

got no problem keeping the guy at all, just.... its not gonna kill him to send him to the d-league

Post #98 » by **yosemiteben** » Mon Feb 1, 2016 1:35 am

I legit don't understand why you are critical of us keeping him on the bench given our injury situation. Like it's so basic that I feel dumb just explaining it.

Braggins · Post #99 » by **Braggins** » Mon Feb 1, 2016 2:51 am

Why would we waste space on a multi year project whos ceiling is a borderline 2nd/3rd pg? You can always sign someone cheap to fill that spot. End of bench developmental spots should be used on guys that might have decent upside. I would cut him for an NBA body or someone with upside.

i'd cut him for jamaal tinsley or any 7ft d league big at this point.

through all of the garbage time so far this season, harrison has brought the ball up the court not even a dozen times

even when the game is over he can't contribute. at least when we got shredded by injuries inside last year, vonleh got to play before the 4th quarter once a month every month.
