Tobias Harris said he has probably never been so impatient to start a season of “ all ” his career. His current enthusiasm is linked to the arrival of Nick Nurse at the 76ers who intends to give more responsibility to the winger, demoted to the rank of fourth option under Doc Rivers.
“ I really think he can do a lot of things really well. He can penetrate, play in transition, he can shoot, he can play in the post “, lists former Raptors coachknowing that his 31-year-old player still had seasons averaging 19 points a few years ago.
But last year, with the trio Joel Embiid – James Harden – Tyrese Maxey ahead of him in the team’s offensive hierarchy, the winger saw his average drop below 15 points. His lowest average since the 2015/16 season, when he was still wearing the Magic jersey.
This quota should increase under the orders of the former Canadian coach. “ I want him to take shots. I want him to attack the rim and I want to make sure he does a few post-ups here and there on set plays, things like that. He has to do this every night. He needs to increase his number of shots to 20 per game », Figures even Nick Nurse, whose player has never shot so much in his career (16 shots per game three years ago) and only took 11 shots per game last year.
Tobias Harris, whose profile may remind Nick Nurse of a certain Pascal Siakam, as a mobile interior capable of lifting the ball, believes that the important thing for him is to find “ constancy. Knowing exactly the opportunities you are going to have, the type of actions, how we are going to play collectively. And I know there will be more opportunities. For me, it’s about enjoying it, being efficient. At the same time, you have to grasp them. »
With the expected transfer of James Harden, depending on the counterparty, there should be no shortage of opportunities.
