Yet another member of Kentucky's dream team has landed in the NBA.

Shooting guard Aaron Harrison has agreed to a two-year deal with the Charlotte Hornets, reports Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo Sports. The first year of Harrison's deal is partially guaranteed and his second year will be a team option.

Aaron's twin brother, Andrew, was selected with the No. 44 pick in the 2015 NBA Draft by the Phoenix Suns, who then dealt him to the Memphis Grizzlies for Jon Leuer.

Charlotte's front office may want to do a thorough background check to ensure they're signing the correct brother, though, as Aaron and Andrew reportedly pulled a switcheroo during pre-draft workouts with the franchise.

Aaron was the leading scorer on a Wildcats team which featured lottery picks Karl Anthony-Towns, Willie Cauley-Stein, Trey Lyles, and Devin Booker, averaging 11 points and 2.6 rebounds on 39.5-percent shooting. Kentucky ultimately fell to Wisconsin in the NCAA Tournament, ending its undefeated campaign.

Badgers star Frank Kaminsky will now be Aaron's teammate on the Hornets, which could lead to some interesting scrimmages during practices.

With veteran point guard Mo Williams signed to a reported two-year, $4.3-million deal with the Cleveland Cavaliers, the No. 2 spot on the depth chart behind Kemba Walker opens up, which Aaron can compete for.
