No. 21: Joe Harris

Next up is Joe Harris. Harris was also drafted in that 2014 NBA Draft which featured Andrew Wiggins as the No. 1 overall pick. Harris, on the other hand, was drafted high second round.

The 6-foot-6 shooting guard spent two seasons in Cleveland before being traded for nearly nothing to the Orlando Magic, where he was then waived. After being waived, Harris, a few months later, signed a multi-year deal with the Nets.

Making just $1.5 million this past season in Brooklyn, Harris is looking to cash in. During his two seasons in Brooklyn, he thrived. He averaged double figures for the first time this past season while shooting 49.1% from the field. He’s efficient, and more importantly, he can shoot from deep, draining 1.9 threes per game last season.

Just like the other four so far, Harris is accessible to Cleveland because he won’t be asking for $5+ million. For a price under that, the Cavs should take a risk that Harris’ playmaking and shooting are what they need to succeed.

He’s still young and should continue to develop. It’s time Cleveland gives him a real chance.
