The Tobias Harris Conundrum
Jasen Vinlove-USA TODAY SportsIt’s the fifth time this season he’s topped the 30-point threshold and the 27th time in 48 games he’s scored at least 20.
For an equal-opportunity team with a fellow forward averaging near 20 points per game and two reserves among the league’s top scorers off the bench, Harris’ numbers are solid. He’s a very good player, vacillating between somewhat to highly underrated. In the context of the league, however, Harris’ output is the proverbial drop in the bucket.
Through Wednesday, Jan. 23, there have been 445 instances where a player has topped 30 points this season. James Harden has done so in an ungodly 21-straight games and counting.
