Nurse has game-planned against Harris for 10 seasons and could be the best coach to unlock the forward's versatility.
Nick Nurse appears to be the best coach to unlock Tobias Harris. And that should be great for the 76ers.
You can make a strong argument that Harris was a better player than Siakam before Nurse found a way to utilize the 6-foot-9, 230-pound forward’s versatility the past four seasons in Toronto. He primarily stood in the corner as a floor spacer until Brown was fired after the 2019-2020 season. Harris started out as a third option under Rivers. But ended up the fourth option behind Embiid, James Harden, and Tyrese Maxey last season. His job was to space the floor as a catch-and-shooter and defend the other team’s best perimeter player.
On a more talented team, Harris won’t dominate the ball as much as Siakam is expected to in Toronto. But the Sixers should be more involved than ever before.
