Shaquille Harrison brings toughness and a defensive mindset to the Utah Jazz

Shaquille Harrison didn’t need to make a good first impression with his new teammate.

He had already made a lasting one on Donovan Mitchell.

“Donovan had some bad memories of [Harrison] picking him up on defense … and kind of terrorizing him,” Joe Ingles said.

That’s exactly what the Utah Jazz want Harrison, their latest free agent signing, to do on the court to opposing ballhandlers this season. The 6-foot-4 Harrison brings depth and defensive toughness to the Jazz’s perimeter.

“They want me to come in and do me,” Harrison said Friday, following his first full practice with the team.
