There’s plenty of questions surrounding the Philadelphia 76ers entering this season. A good portion of those questions involve the makeup of the Sixers starting five, especially on the defensive side of the ball. The defense of the team’s starting small forward Tobias Harris could be a big issue.
Throughout his career, Harris has never been anything more than an average defender, if that. His career Defensive Plus/Minus score is minus-0.4. Harris is a combo forward, but is better defensively as a power forward, because he lacks the lateral movement to keep up with opposing small forwards on a regular basis.
