5. Joe Harris

The NBA will always have a place for shooters. In this modern era of pace and space basketball, 3-point shooters are even more valuable. Joe Harris was a sharpshooter from behind the 3-point line last season, shooting 38 percent from downtown.

Harris isn’t a name that excites many people. He has had a ho-hum career so far. Besides last season, Harris has gotten limited burn in the NBA. He was a part of the 2015 Eastern Conference Champion Cleveland Cavaliers team but only played nine minutes per game in garbage time. His 2015-16 season was cut short due to a leg injury and he was largely ineffective.

Harris is a poor man’s Kyle Korver. He lacks the foot speed and endurance of the 36-year-old, but he does do a good job of curling around screens and knocking down the 3-ball.

The Nets have a logjam at Harris’ position and the Virginia product is likely the last man on the depth chart. That doesn’t exactly make Harris sound like an attractive asset but on the right team he could do damage.

Harris would best be suited for a bench role on a 3-point heavy team with top flight ball handlers. The Houston Rockets and Golden State Warriors would be ideal landing spots for Harris. The fourth year guard would have plenty of open looks with James Harden and Chris Paul or Steph Curry and Kevin Durant finding him. On the right team, Harris has value.
