#5 Gary Harris (SG) FG Efficiency: 46.9 %

Last year was humongous for Gary Harris. He managed to improve in nearly every statistical category, including FG%. In the 2014-15 season, he shot just 30.4%. Some were quick to call him a bust, but Harris proved that he belongs in the NBA by boosting his FG% incredibly.

Cracking your team’s Top-5 for FG%s (as a guard) is pretty impressive. Jumping from 30.4% to 46.9% is even more impressive. In fact, just averaging an efficiency of 46.9% would have been impressive alone. It is a number to be proud of.

Last season, Demar DeRozan and Klay Thompson, two of the best SGs in the league, shot 44.6% and 47.0%, respectively. As far as efficiency is concerned, Harris has placed himself right in great company. This “bust” may very well become a star.
