Wussten Sie schon?
Harris grew up just outside Indianapolis in Fishers, Indiana — the same region that produced multiple NBA players, reflecting Indiana's deep basketball culture.
He won the 2014 Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year at Michigan State before becoming one of the NBA's most consistent perimeter defenders for the Denver Nuggets.
Harris was part of the Nikola Vucevic trade to Orlando in 2021 — a deal that gave Denver its franchise center and gave Orlando a veteran defender.
He has spoken openly about how Michigan State coach Tom Izzo's defensive system prepared him for NBA defensive demands in ways that purely offensive-minded college programs rarely do.
