Tobias Harris Set to Make Impact in NBA Preseason

Tobias Harris, the veteran forward, is gearing up for another significant season in the NBA, despite some recent debates about his role and performance. In the recent preseason games, Harris has been making his presence felt, particularly in his start for the Philadelphia 76ers in their third preseason game on October 12, 2024.

Statistically, Harris has shown his versatility and efficiency on the court. Last season, he averaged 19.5 points per game, along with 6.8 rebounds, 3.5 assists, and 1.7 steals-plus-blocks in 32.5 minutes per game. His shooting percentages were impressive, with a true shooting percentage of 57.6%, an effective field goal percentage of 53.5%, and a three-point shooting percentage of 39%.

Despite averaging only 9.0 points per game in Philadelphia’s six-game playoff exit last season, Harris remains a crucial secondary scoring option. He ranked in the 70th percentile by generating 1.051 points per possession while maintaining a low turnover rate of 8.1% on his possessions, which was among the lowest in the league.

As the preseason progresses, fans and analysts are keeping a close eye on Harris’s performance, with some discussions around his value to the team and potential trade scenarios. However, his consistent performance and statistical contributions make him a key player for the 76ers).
