    The Charlotte Hornets have signed Kentucky's Aaron Harrison to a two-year deal. The dollar value of Harrison's contract is unknown at this time, but it's safe to assume the Hornets used some of their mid-level exception to sign him. His contract includes a team option for next season.

    It doesn't happen often, but once in a while an undrafted summer league invitee will make such a strong impression on a team that the team will actually sign him. Harrison's play at the Orlando Summer League reportedly made a strong impression on head coach Steve Clifford that the Hornets decided they had to sign him.

    The 6'6" combo guard played a significant number of minutes for the Hornets last week, and showed excellent scoring instincts and decent defensive ability. While Harrison is undoubtedly a bit of a project, he has significant potential that could be achieved if his reputation as a hard worker is true. He also fits the culture the Hornets have built over the last few years: He's a thoughtful, confident player, much like his brother.
