Tobias Harris on having to adjust his game to fit with 76ers: It wasn’t an easy experience

It’s not surprising that Harris’ fondest memory as Sixer was off the court. He’s most proud of his community impact initiatives in the Philadelphia area. His biggest disappointment was not being able to advance beyond the second round of the playoffs. “A lot of high expectations for a very good group,” he said of his tenure. “Different coaching staffs, different rosters, but, overall, I felt like every year, we had enough talent to make something happen . “We just didn’t come together. But that’s just kind of the nature of sports sometimes.” -via The Philadelphia Inquirer / October 31, 2024

The problem is, he’s at his best with the ball in his hands. He excels in pick-and-rolls. Harris needs the ball to stay in rhythm. Instead, he had to play various roles here that didn’t highlight his strengths. “It was tough,” Harris said. “But to be honest, that was what was asked of me as a player. It may not have been essentially the ideal role of what I wanted at the time. But that was what was asked of me from the team and the staff. And from time to time, it was something I had to make an adjustment to, and toward the end of last year, I kind of realized that it was just what it is.” -via The Philadelphia Inquirer / October 31, 2024
