What Andrew and Aaron Harrison bring to La Familia
The Harrison twins played two seasons at Kentucky from 2013-2015. Both served as starters and helped lead the Wildcats to the national title game in 2014 and a Final Four appearance in 2015.
Andrew was known for his physicality, confidence and size. At Kentucky, he averaged 10.1 ppg and 3.8 apg. The talented combo guard was drafted in the second round of the 2015 NBA draft by the Phoenix Suns and played in the league through the 2018-19 season. He most recently played for the Beijing Royal Fighters in China.
Aaron's strengths with the Jayhawks included his ball handling and scoring efficiency. He averaged 12.4 ppg in his two seasons at Kentucky and was a decent stealer, recording 1.1 spg.
The guard went undrafted in 2015 but was picked up by the Charlotte Hornets, where he spent two seasons before playing one year for the Dallas Mavericks. Most recently, Aaron played for FC Porto in Portugal.
The Harrison twins had an impressive two-year career at Kentucky and have continued to make their mark in professional basketball, both in the NBA and abroad. Andrew and Aaron will look to lead La Familia to a TBT title this summer.
