didnt see this coming with Charlotte recently signing their 4th point guard in Jeremy Lin. Congrats A A Ron!
Aaron Harrison inks 2 year deal with Hornets
- Thread starter kornucopia
- Start date
Really up in the air still. Means they thought enough of him to pay him an amount of money to lock up his rights for 2 years. He thought enough of his chances with Charlotte to accept.
It's a positive, but he still has work to do, certainly.

Where are all the armchair experts now? Sad thing is these pathetic excuses for fans were hoping Aaron would fail just to prove they were right.
Uh, I can tell you without researching that the answer is a definitive "NO." Not even close in fact.
I was concerned his poor shooting would ruin his chances, but apparently he showed enough in other areas to overcome that. I'm very happy and proud of Aaron Harrison. He deserves this. Maybe Jordan can give him some tips on shooting really well from mid-range and in (incase the 3 ball never really develops). I hope he has a long career, and so glad he has proven the haters at present.
Opening night certainties(contract):
Rondo 1
Wall 2
Knight 3
Bledsoe 4
Aaron Harrison 5
Goodwin 6
Young 7
MKG 8
Meeks 9
Jones 10
Randle 11
Booker 12
WCS 13
Towns 14
Lyles 15
Noel 16
Cousins 17
Davis 18
Kanter 19
With Miller, Andrew, Lamb, Dakari, Prince, Hayes, Teague and Mohammed all being free agents or about to sign rookie deals. Am I forgetting anyone?

Liggins is still around. Started for the Kings the other night.
He's been wildly impressive, in my opinion. Personally, he needs to drop the 3 point shot almost altogether, barring him being wide open, and somebody not having a better shot. He'll likely play point guard, and be a very physical one. He got off to a really good start learning that position, and this happened in the process.
Or what the average American will make roughly every 12 years. Aaron will have roughly 25 years worth of earnings before he's 23. Not bad.
But he should have come back for a chance to be drafted 49th, have been forced to play for a specific team, and lose a year of earning power.
You forgot Patrick Patterson
Good deal! Nice young guy. Always will be remembered as the guy willing to take the big shot.... And make them. Never in trouble. Polite. I think his game will continue to develop. If he can spot in at the point and play the other wing spots he will be a valuable player. They won't have any character issues. Good citizen. Proud of him
Pretty sure he was asked to drive it and ran the pick and roll all the time at Kentucky. Am I wrong?
Good for him. Guess he'll have to hold off on that passport so many experts on here thought he was going to have to get
Not so fast, my friend. By the time you take out the agent's cut, and the devil's cut (taxes) at the max % rate too, he'll have less than half of that. Then factor in expenses, and maybe a little splurging, and he might have a small "nest egg" left.
So he's gotta stay hungry, work toward the really big payoff of guaranteed money and FA later on. I'm pulling for him, and all the other Cats who are living/chasing the dream!
showing yet again why his nickname has been aaron ice (water) since middle school. just one more game winner notch in his proverbial belt
