Joe Harris has patterned his game after JJ Redick. Right now the Sixers’ sharpshooter is taking him to school in this first-round series, giving him a lesson on both ends of the court.
“JJ’s been the key from start to finish,” Spencer Dinwiddie said. “He allows Ben Simmons to get his assists and get in rhythm. … It enhances the spacing, allows [Jimmy] Butler driving lanes, allows [Joel] Embiid to go 1-on-1 in the post. He’s the key and we just have to do a better job.”
After Harris got the better of Redick in the series opener, the Sixers made it a point to set better screens for him.
