The analytics perspective
While his brother was the more hyped prospect entering college, Aaron Harrison was somewhat more productive at Kentucky, giving him an easier path to contributing in the NBA. Harrison wasn't a great outside shooter at the college level, making just 31.6 percent of his 3-pointers as a sophomore, but his combination of high-volume shooting and a solid free throw percentage (78.7 percent) suggest he can develop into a capable NBA 3-point shooter.
