Joe Harris (Small Forward)
The Brooklyn Nets quickly agreed to re-sign Joe Harris shortly after NBA free agency began. Harris and Brooklyn agreed on a two-year, $16 million dollar deal using their early Bird rights.
This means his deal had no affect on Brooklyn’s cap space this season, but his $8 million for 2019-20 counts against the cap.
Blue Man Hoop
Harris is a great wing who shoots the ball at a very high level. The wing is known to be a dangerous 3-point shooter and can really light up the scoreboard. Throughout his career, Harris has been consistent from behind the arc and has been improving each year.
Last season, Harris shot 41.9 percent from behind the arc averaging 4.6 attempts per game.
He can also drive the ball very well. Harris looks for contact and does a great job of finishing through traffic. To go along with his aggressive driving, Harris is a great free throw shooter.
Harris is a good defender who plays that end of the floor with passion. He locks down on his assignment and rarely gets into serious foul trouble. He is also not afraid to go up and contest attacking drivers.
Harris has a chance to start for Brooklyn at the small forward position next season. Now, he will not be guaranteed the starting small forward position throughout the season. He will be starting some games and be coming off the bench as well.
Harris does not have a problem coming off the bench for Brooklyn and embraces that role. When coming off the bench, his main role is to score the ball and defend at a high level.
