Aaron Harrison

Aaron Harrison is another young player with untapped potential. Despite playing three seasons in the NBA, Harrison still hasn’t gotten much time to prove himself.

Harrison played only nine games last season. In these games, Harrison played 25 minutes per game and averaged 6.7 points.

At only 22-years-old, Harrison could still develop into a solid player.

Harrison was once one the leading scorer of the Kentucky Wildcats during the 2015 collegiate season, proving to be a physical force in the paint and a threat from deep with his shooting ability.

So far, not much of this talent has translated to the NBA level. However, there is still time for Harrison to grow as a player.

More from Cavs Analysis

As previously stated, we haven’t seen enough from him to truly count him out. It wouldn’t hurt the Cleveland Cavaliers to sign him and see what he’s capable of.

The chances of him turning into a star are slim but what do the Cavaliers have to lose at this point? It doesn’t have to be a homerun signing.

Giving this young player a chance is a low-risk, high-reward move for the Cavaliers.

Best case scenario, he turns into a solid rotation player. Worst case scenario? He bombs the audition and the Cleveland Cavaliers aren’t any worse for wear.
