Last season’s version of Andrew Harrison would have been the perfect tank commander. This year’s version? Still a pretty good tank commander, but you’d prefer your tank commander to shoot 32% from the field while starting at the PG position and playing 20 MPG. Honestly, I think the Grizzlies should start Mario Chalmers instead of Harrison because Chalmers is washed up and old, and therefore less likely to inadvertantly lead his team to wins. Harrison is still young and might stumble into some untapped potential that causes him to do crazy things like record twenty points and seven assists in one game, a statline that even a real point guard would be happy to attain.
Interesting side note: Andrew Harrison faced off against Suns rookie Shaquille “Mini-Shaq” Harrison in this game. Mini-Shaq recorded just seven points and two assists, so Harrison’s title of “Best Harrison Currently in the NBA” remains unchallenged. As long as you don’t include Harrison Barnes. Harrison isn’t even an allowable first name as far as I’m concerned.
