After the Philadelphia 76ers traded for Jimmy Butler, I didn’t think they were capable of trading for another All-Star level players, but general manager Elton Brand proved me wrong by trading for Tobias Harris. Not only did the Sixers become the best starting lineup in the league, but they also improved a bench that averaged 31.4 points per game during the month of January, making them the 24th worst scoring bench in the league.
Obviously, the 20.7 points, 2.8 assists, and 7.8 rebounds Harris is averaging a game this season while making 43 percent of his shots from behind the three-point line improves the Sixers, but comparing the Sixers’ production in the four games Harris has played in to their overall performance this season, shows how much things have changed.
