#4: Tim Hardaway Jr. is the next Joe Harris! 

THJ isn’t going to be as bad as Harris, that would be impossible, but he didn’t look great last night, shooting just 1-of-7 and missing all of his 3-point shots. 

He looked a step slower, forced a couple of tough shots and had two turnovers even though he played fewer than 15 minutes. He also had a tough time getting his shot off, a problem Harris had last season when Father Time started his inevitable stranglehold. 

I’m not saying THJ will be the same, but he could end up being the salary dump who can’t/doesn’t play much for the Pistons this year, an annual tradition I hope we see the end of soon. At least Detroit got three second-round picks for THJ and unlike Harris, I am certain Hardaway Jr. will have some big games for Detroit but he looked old and rusty last night and the Pistons were –9 when he was on the floor.
