Player To Watch: Tobias Harris

Tobias Harris ends up as the Piston to watch this season, almost by default. Reggie Jackson is out for a while, Andre Drummond still can’t shoot free throws and not even Pistons fans trust him, and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope is the most hyped 14 point per game scorer of all time.

That leaves Harris, who leads the Pistons in scoring with 16.1 points per game even though he serves primarily in a bench role this season. Harris was quiet in Detroit’s last win over the Nets, scoring just eight points in the Herculean effort by the Pistons.

Still, Harris has been good this season. He’s hitting 48.1 percent of his field goals and 33.9 percent of his threes, and also adding 5.1 rebounds and 1.7 assists to Detroit’s per game totals this season. Harris is no first banana, but he can help a team win.

Plus there’s always the potential of a revenge game when Tobias Harris plays against the Bucks. He put up 23 points and 12 boards on Milwaukee in a Pistons loss back in December, but wasn’t that great in either of the two other games these two teams played this season.
