He has experience playing with Kyrie Irving—be it brief—in Cleveland for the first two seasons of his career. His addition to the lineup brings the obvious floor spacing the team needs.
Irving is adept at dribble-drive penetration and kicking out to the open man while Harris moves well without the basketball and should get open looks in this lineup. Of his 386 three-point attempts last season, 98.9 percent of them were assisted and 15 percent of them came from the corner—where he shot 51.7 percent from.
In the 2018/19 season, Harris played 42 percent of his minutes at the shooting guard position. However, Caris LeVert only played 8 percent of his minutes at the two and his stature is best suited at the wing.
