The Philadelphia 76ers swung an unexpectedly major deal at the trade deadline, adding Tobias Harris to a core that already consisted of Joel Embiid, Ben Simmons and Jimmy Butler. Through two games, the new mega-lineup seems rather effective.
Harris is averaging 18 points per game, shooting 57.7 percent from the field and 62.5 percent from three-point range. Those percentages will obviously regress to the mean, but Harris’ mean is well above the league average. It hasn’t taken him long to get comfortable with the Sixers’ system.
At 6-foot-9, Harris provides an ideal combination of versatility and shooting at the four spot.
