For the first time since college, Joe Harris and Justin Anderson are teammates again, with the latter signing a 10-day contract with the Brooklyn Nets on Monday.
Anderson was previously an affiliate player for Raptors 905, Toronto’s G League squad. He appeared in 13 games for Raptors 905 this year, averaging 21.2 points, 6.8 rebounds and 1.2 steals per game while playing 33.6 minutes a night.
Anderson has appeared in 216 NBA games since he was drafted No. 21 overall in 2015. In those contests, the wing is averaging 5.3 points and 2.6 rebounds per game.
Harris and Anderson played together at the University of Virginia for two years. Anderson started his three-year collegiate career in 2012-13, and Harris began his in 2010-11.
In Harris’ senior season at Virginia and Anderson’s sophomore year — in which he was the ACC’s Sixth Man of the Year — the two helped lead Virginia to two wins in the NCAA Tournament before Michigan State knocked them off in the East Regional Semifinal.
