Shaquille Harrison was born on October 6, 1993 in Kansas City, Missouri. He is a guard in the NBA.
Harrison played basketball at Tulsa, turning down an offer from Kansas to play football. He was a four-year starter for the Golden Hurricane. As a senior, he was named American Athletic Conference Men’s Basketball Scholar-Athlete of the Year after averaging 14.8 points, 5.5 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game while maintaining a 3.135 grade-point average.
He is the only player in Tulsa history to register 1,300 points, 400 assists, and 200 steals in his career. However, he struggled with his shooting, hitting 19.5 percent of shots from behind the arc and 63 percent of his free throws.
After going undrafted in the 2016 NBA draft, Harrison signed with the Phoenix Suns on September 25, 2016. However, he was later waived by the Suns on October 10. On October 31, 2016, he was acquired by the Northern Arizona Suns of the NBA Development League as an affiliate player of Phoenix. In the team's season opener on November 12, 2016, Harrison scored an equal team-high 20 points in a 122–106 win over the Iowa Energy.
