Andrew has a much better chance at getting drafted than Aaron because of his point guard training. He can play both guard positions and feel he is going to make a better shooting guard than point guard.

Tony Jones of the Salt Lake Tribune reported that Kentucky point guard Andrew Harrison worked out for the Utah Jazz with five other players, including former Louisville player Tony Rozier.

"It's going to be tough, but I'm excited to show teams what I can do without him (his twin brother Aaron Harrison), and he without me. I kind of like being by myself. I think we're both excited to be looked at as players, and not as a tandem,” Andrew Harrison told Jones.

Jazz's vice president of player personnel Walt Perrin told Jones that Harrison didn't shoot it as well as he wanted but said the Jazz front office was still impressed with his play, especially since he had a wrist injury.

"I thought he played pretty well," Perrin told Jones. "I thought he competed and he fought hard. Most of the guys in this workout, this is the first time they've worked out for an individual team, so I thought they had to adjust to that."

Yeah, I thought it would have been nice to have Aaron back for 1 more year and Andrew go to the NBA. I just thought Andrew has a better chance of being drafted this year than Aaron.

I guess he has an agent but if you haven't got an agent isn't there a date in June you can drop out of the draft?

He's already made money off of autograph signings, Bama. He's now officially a pro!

The way the NCAA works I'll bet if he donated all that money to charity they would let him back in.

If he went or UNC or Duke they would, not UK.

Isn't that the truth, when it comes to UK you can forget any common sense from the NCAA.

Andrew could be intriguing to the Bulls per this article.

Mark Strotman of www.csnchicago.com has an interesting perspective on how Andrew Harrison would be the perfect fit for Chicago in the right scenario. He wrote:

"The Bulls don't have a second-round pick in this year's draft, and Harrison isn't an option at No. 22 (in the first round). If the Bulls were to get back into the second round, Harrison certainly would fill a need.

"The starting point guard on last year's historic Kentucky team, Harrison has excellent size, distributes out of the pick and roll well and has an improving 3-point shot. Kirk Hinrich and Aaron Brooks simply didn't get the job done behind Derrick Rose, especially late in the season and into the playoffs.

"They need to upgrade behind Derrick Rose, and while the last Kentucky point guard the Bulls drafted didn't work out so well (Marquis Teague) Harrison is an intriguing prospect on the second unit."
