My Take
Standing 6-foot-11 and going by the nickname "Jorts," Josh Harrellson is the kind of guy who makes you do a double-take — and not just because of the height. He came out of Kentucky, which is basically a finishing school for NBA bigs, and got drafted in 2011, carving out a journeyman career across multiple teams including the Knicks and Heat. He was never a star, but that's not really the point — at 208 centimeters you occupy space in a way that demands respect, and he clearly had enough craft to keep getting roster calls. The "Jorts" nickname alone tells you he had a sense of humor about himself, which honestly goes a long way in a locker room. A solid role-player era, a fun Twitter presence, a Kentucky pedigree — not a headline grabber, but the kind of player every good team quietly needs.
