Like Niang signed a 3/25 contract that should have been similar money for Harris maybe a bit more.
Niang was at least more of a three point specialist. He'd shoot more threes while playing over 10 less minutes per game than Harris, not to mention at 40%. Harris was just decent at "everything" but not very good at anything. Not a legit threat from deep to draw defense out from Joel. Too timid moving towards the paint with the ball. Not at all a playmaker to at least turn his fear with the ball into buckets for teammates, and finally an overrated one-on-one defender (see Onunoby highlights). The team would've been better off splitting his minutes between a Niang and hell anyone else on our bench.
