Pistons sign "Jorts" Harrellson

Big Jorts is back!

Adrian Wojnarowski tweeted Tuesday evening that the Detroit Pistons have signed forward Josh Harrellson.

According to Detroit Bad Boys, Harrellson's cousin had tweeted the news earlier in the day but later deleted the tweet.

Harrellson, a former Kentucky Wildcat, was a second round pick of the New York Knicks (via the New Orleans Hornets) in the 2011 NBA Draft. He played in 37 games for the Knicks and was then traded to the Houston Rockets, who waived him.

Last year, Harrellson had a six-game stint with the Miami Heat before being waived. He then went to Puerto Rico and later China, where he was named Chinese National Basketball League Player of the Year after averaging 22.3 points and 18.2 rebounds.

The 6-foot-10 jean short advocate will join a Pistons team that already looks to have a great deal of personality on the roster. Needless to say, he should fit right in.
