Harris was selected the first round of the 2011 WNBA draft (4th overall) by the Minnesota Lynx.,[2] the second of two Lynx first round picks. Harris served primarily as a bench player, averaging 3.3 points per game on a team that had the best record in the Western Conference.[3] Harris continued to be a role player in the playoffs, but still had some notable moments, including a key three-pointer in the Finals against the Atlanta Dream, which ultimately helped the Lynx win the WNBA championship.[4]
