” Yeah, Tobias should shoot more », demanded Joel Embiid last week. The pivot believed that Tobias Harris, as well as Tyrese Maxey, should take more advantage of the two, or even three, catches he undergoes to shoot behind the arc. By necessity, the 76ers leader’s wish will soon be granted regarding the winger’s shooting volume.
James Harden absent for a month, the former Clippers player should mechanically recover responsibilities in the Sixers attack. We remind you that the Embiid – Maxey – Harden trio has been running at full speed since the start of the season. All three men are averaging 22 points or more.
Tobias Harris, who nevertheless has the best salary of the team (37.6 million dollars)? Only 13 points on average and ten ticket shots per game. Its lowest average for more than ten years.
” Of all the team members, he is the one who has to get the most used to not touching the ball as much as he did in the past. I think that’s really what he’s trying to do », described Doc Rivers at the end of his team’s last game, against the Wizards. Rather regular in his role and skillful (48% in shots including 45% from afar), his strong winger had just signed a full game with 16 points (6/12), 9 rebounds and 4 assists.
Serve him at the post
” We always want to find him at the post when he has a favorable duel “, Continued the coach whose player recovered a few low post balls that evening but, in general, had more difficulty penalizing near the circle. The 30-year-old seemed almost more comfortable in this ‘catch-and-shooter’ role behind the arc. But the absence of the bearded man should allow him to re-display a more complete offensive palette.
“ We know we have big problems to manage with Joel, James and Tyrese Maxey. They are excellent. People don’t talk about Tobias Harris enough, he’s a great player », remarked Rick Carlisle after the Pacers moved to Philadelphia, during which the strong winger had equaled his best outing of the year (18 points).
Asked about his feeling of being underestimated or not by opposing defenses, Tobias Harris smiled: “ From time to time. It depends on who you ask. If Coach Carlisle said that, he’s a pretty good person to say it. I take it as a compliment, I appreciate it. »
