In addition to be the next Kentucky Wildcats Basketball players to be in the NBA, Aaron and Andrew Harrison plan to be the newest set of twins to be drafted into the league.   It’s not often that you see twin brothers both play in the NBA, but there have been good siblings to make a living in the league.

Notable current NBA twins include The Lopez twins, Robin plays for the Portland Trailblazers and Brooke plays for the Brooklyn Nets, both very athletically skilled centers. You can also add Markus and Markieff Morris twins of the Phoenix Suns, who are the same in about every aspect. Perhaps the greatest pair of NBA twins were “The Generals” of Harvey and Horace Grant, who played a combined 28 seasons and four championships (all belong to Horace).

So as the Harrison’s prepare to enter the NBA Draft, unless they decide to return for their junior seasons, the question is how will they pan out? Both have good size for guards, both listed at 6’6″ and over 210 lbs.

Aaron is a good wing shooter and is skilled at running the fast break and finishing it. Excels at shining in the big moments, many know from the 2014 March Madness run. His biggest issue come NBA time will certainly be consistency. So far in his year and almost a half at Kentucky, he’s shown to be a streaky shooter. When he’s hot, he’s almost unstoppable, but when he’s not feeling it he struggles. While at Kentucky you can survive with streaky shooting, you’re NBA chances are slim. He has been in an excellent grove in the past few games, and if he can keep shooting at the rate he has, his draft stock will continually rise.
