Harris is 32 years old and was a second-round pick by the Cavaliers in 2014. He only had a limited impact over his first few seasons with the Cavs, but things really came together after he signed with the Nets in 2016.
Harris became an impact player with Brooklyn and honed his outside shooting. He led the league in 3-point shooting percentage in both the 2018-2019 (47.4 percent) and 2020-2021 seasons (47.5 percent). Harris rode his hot shooting to a 4-year, $75 million contract that ran from 2020-2023. Harris played in just 16 games last season for the Pistons.
For his career, Harris averaged 10.3 points per game and shot 43.6 percent on threes. He also won the three-point contest at All-Star Weekend in 2019.
