    That's too bad. But if I'm Stone, gotta still make a play for him.

    Maybe get Harden and/or Russ to recruit too.

    Thanks man.

    Sorry brother, I meant Shaq. I've watched a lot of Reggie, but haven't seen Harrison play that I can recall.

    Shaq Harrison forte is defense, not offense. But his 3ball improved to 38% last season.

    I hope Rockets pick up 6'10 Ray Spalding (7'5 wingspan), even if it's just for the Vipers.

    Spalding is a disruptive switchable defender (steal and block machine) with a developing 3ball.

    Used to play with Vipers.

    Yeah I like Jackson. Is Roberson still available?

    I believe so.

    But I'd rather find the next Roberson, one not coming off major injury and with a better jumper.

    6'8 Devin Robinson (only 25) has 7'1 wingspan with eye popping 41.5 max vert - his floor is Andre Roberson, ceiling is Jerami Grant.

    https://thunderousintentions.com/2017/06/18/devin-robinson-thunder-nba-draft-prospect-series/

    Robinson is currently a G Leaguer, only weighs 210 but all muscle, barely any body fat.

    Ball handling and passing are rudimentary but he is energy player who has great upside in transition, lob threat, switch D and 3ball.

    Why the hell is Shaq Harrison still in the wild? Is he asking for a bag? It's hard to imagine no teams are interested.

    Shaq Harrison would be an upgrade over Austin Rivers IMO.

    He is the kind of rotation player that would play big in postseason instead of shrinking.

    I've questioned Stone for too many 6'4 and 6'5 signings, but Shaq is the exception.

    Patrick needs to get on the Stone Phone and make this happen.

    Why am I seeing Shaquille Harrison’s name so much in these threads?

    I’m not going to pretend I know his game as much as other have (apparently), but I will point out he only had 5 or 7 games in double digit points for THE BULLS!
    There is a reason he is unsigned. Clearly he’s not worth spending money on, not just by us.

    Shaq Harrison is an elite defender and an analytics hidden gem.

    His +/- is second only to Christian Wood. Like Wood, you extrapolate with more minutes.

    I guess. I’d prefer to keep the amount of unknowns to a minimum (I would group Cousins and Wood in that group with Tate).
    Then again there is literally nobody out there.

    I think Shaq Harrison is the worst kept secret in NBA, quite a few teams want him. Including the Lakers.

    But a player who is +62 on the court is not going to remain available very long.

    Still strongly advocating a SnT with Bulls to acquire him. Harrison is so much better than Grant.

    A recovering Andre Roberson still available.

    Or the next Andre Roberson - 6'8 Devin Robinson
