I was reading an article by Rex Chapman who had gotten feedback from 15 NBA execs/scouts about 15 underclassemen contemplating entering the draft. Here are some of the more telling comments about the Harrisons:
- "You must separate the novelty of these two kids being twins. If they weren't brothers, one played at Texas Tech and the other played at UTEP - and both just had the years they had (at Kentucky)... would anyone be discussing these two leaving college early to enter the NBA draft?"
- On Aaron - "Just another guy at this stage. Which sounds like more fun - playing at Kentucky another year - or playing in the D-League next year...you tell me?" and "Not a NBA athlete. You must have something on which to hang your hat. The D-League is loaded with 6-6" guys who don't possess that one particular thing"
- On Andrew - "As of today, we have him ranked as the 13th best point guard in the draft" and "D-League if he comes out now"
Aaron was projected to go in the 25-50 range and Andrew 30-60. I think that might be as good as it gets for those two.
Another comment from a NBA guy: "Not sure how much better he (Andrew) can become. Physically, he and his brother (Aaron) are both already very physically mature for their age. What you see now may just be what you get down the road".
