Aaron Harrison was supposed to have a workout with the Charlotte Hornets on Monday but instead his twin brother Andrew showed up.
The Hornets tweeted out about the switch Monday morning which caused some confusion, even for Andrew.

“Really?” Andrew said sarcastically. “I had no idea.”
While the twin brothers have always played together, both are now competing against each other, trying to market themselves and improve their draft stock.
“To be honest with you, I really don’t care,” Andrew said. “I love him, I love him more than anything and I’d do anything for him, but at the same time, we’re individuals. We’ve got different lives to live and I’m looking forward to being looked at as an individual.”
The Hornets had Harrison test his shooting from behind the three-point line. Out of 27 attempts, he made 14, something that he knows will need to improve if he wants to slide into the first round.
“I’m just trying to get better at every part of my game,” Harrison said. “The NBA 3 is so important right now, so that’s definitely a part of what I’m trying to get better at. They’ve said I’m really streaky and to just try to get consistent, so that’s what I’m trying to do.”
Andrew Harrison right now is projected to be a second round pick, as is his brother, in many mock drafts including the latest version of Def Pen’s NBA Mock Draft.
