Harris came to Auburn as a grad transfer from Providence in 2015. And although Harris only played one season for the Tigers, the 6-foot-9 power forward was one of the team’s top players during that time averaging 13.9 points and 7.7 rebounds per game.

Although Harris hasn’t had as much professional success as his older brother and former Bruce Pearl player, Tobias Harris of the Los Angeles Clippers, Tyler has enjoyed a strong pro career thus far.

Since graduating in 2016, HArris has had professional stops in France, Japan and the NBA G-League. Most recently, Harris joined Horace Spencer in the Argentine league playing for Peñarol.

The two former Tigers faced off against each other in March and in 14 games with his new team, Harris averaged 15.6 points and 8.0 rebounds per game while shooting 52.9 percent from the field.
