Can the Sixers get more out of Tobias Harris when Joel Embiid is in the lineup?

The Sixers still have work to do and room to grow when it comes to building chemistry between two of their most important players, Joel Embiid and the newly minted Tobias Harris. Harris, thrust into the starting lineup when the team acquired him last February, was coming off an All-Star caliber campaign with the Clippers before he joined the Sixers. Since that day he’s played in just 41 total games with Philadelphia. It’s not a big sample. And it makes sense that his production would dip coming from a situation where he was the top option on a mediocre team, transitioning to the 2nd, 3rd or 4th (and sometimes even 5th) option on his new team during the 2018-2019 campaign; often behind Embiid, Jimmy Butler, and occasionally both Ben Simmons and JJ Redick.
