Philadelphia 76ers: Ranking Tobias Harris as a power forward 2021

It took a while but ranking where the Philadelphia 76ers‘ power forward Tobias Harris is among the other starters at his position in the NBA is finally done. Thus far, I’ve ranked where Ben Simmons, Seth Curry, and Danny Green rank at their respective positions. It seems only right to do it for Harris as well.

To be clear, Harris is having a career year with the Sixers. After a weird season the previous year playing out of position, he has been able to bounce back. The change back to his natural position at power forward helped as well as the change at head coach with the hiring of Doc Rivers also made a difference.

Harris had a history of past success with Rivers during their respective stints so it shouldn’t be surprising that he’s doing well when the two reunited this season.

“Based on stats it appears that Harris is a top-10 power forward in the NBA this season.”
