Andrew Harrison was the 44th overall pick in the 2015 NBA Draft out of the University of Kentucky. He was drafted by the Phoenix Suns and traded to the Grizzlies on draft night.

Harrison has career NBA averages of 7.0 points, 2.0 rebounds and 2.8 assists in 145 games while shooting 37.3 percent from the field, 29.4 percent from beyond the arc and 77.9 percent from the free-throw line.

The Warriors have 14 guaranteed contracts on the roster. Their guard depth is headlined by Stephen Curry, D'Angelo Russell and Alec Burks. Warriors All-Star shooting guard Klay Thompson will miss a big chunk of the 2019-20 season recovering from his ACL tear.

The Warriors need someone to back up Curry at the point guard position since Russell and Steph will be starting together in the backcourt.

Golden State is eager to show the world it is still an elite team despite losing two-time Finals MVP Kevin Durant to the Brooklyn Nets in free agency this summer.

The Warriors will be playing in their brand new stadium next season, the Chase Center.
