The analytics perspective
Ranked 5th in the ESPN 100 entering Kentucky, Harrison never produced at that level during his two college seasons, and the 'Cats offense often seemed more efficient with backup Tyler Ulis at the controls last season. While he cut down his turnovers last season, posting an assist-to-turnover ratio of better than 2-to-1, Harrison is never going to be a natural playmaker. That makes it imperative that he excel as a scorer, and that simply wasn't the case.
