MEMPHIS – Among the more memorable moments of Andrew Harrison’s three seasons with the Grizzlies came when he stormed out of the visiting locker room in Atlanta last February after a tongue lashing from coach J.B. Bickerstaff for a bad performance.
The entire team played poorly in a lackluster loss to the Hawks midway through last season’s 22-60 finish that landed Memphis squarely in the NBA draft lottery.
But on that night, Harrison was squarely positioned in the doghouse. What’s important about that development is not that Harrison struggled, grew frustrated and needed to get away quickly that night.
