I hope they both make it but it isn't going to be easy for Aaron.
Of the seven University of Kentucky basketball players who declared early for this month's NBA Draft, two clearly had the most to prove to the league's decision makers.
One of those players has seen his draft stock rise in recent weeks. The other still has some work to do.
Andrew Harrison was one of the standouts at last month's NBA Combine in Chicago. Most of this year's draft-eligible players attended the event, but many who are considered locks to be selected opted to skip the actual playing portion and submitted only to the athletic testing.
Both of the twins played, and Andrew benefited the most.
How Aaron fits in the NBA is harder to figure.
He's known for all of the big shots he hit at UK during two runs to the Final Four, but he was actually just a 33.5 percent three-point shooter in 79 games as a Wildcat.
"For a guy whose whole game kind of revolves around his shooting, that's not really ideal," Givony said.
DraftExpress.com does not have Aaron Harrison listed in its most recent mock draft, and his showing at the NBA Combine didn't help his prospects. In two scrimmages there, Harrison was 5-for-21 from the field and made just one of seven three-point attempts.
