Tobias Harris has been the third-best player in the Philadelphia 76ers' roster this season; his consistency has been one of the keys for the team's early success in the 2020-21 NBA campaign.

Harris' experience is also a great asset for Doc Rivers, as the two stars on the team are young and can rely on a veteran like Harris.

In the 2020-21 campaign, Harris might be having his greatest season so far. He is averaging 20 points, seven rebounds and three assists per night while recording a 51/44/86 shooting split for the season in 20 appearances.


Forward - Joe Harris (Brooklyn Nets)

The Brooklyn Nets have an incredible shooter in Joe Harris. He is a 6' 6'' sniper capable of leading the NBA in 3P shooting and possibly breaking records with his efficiency from the deep.

Harris is the fourth option in the Brooklyn Nets' offense, but with so much talent around him, he usually does not get too many looks at the rim.

Nevertheless, he is averaging a career-high 15 points and four rebounds per game this season season and has impressed with his tremendous shooting.

Harris has made 51% of his field goals and 49% of his shots from the three-point line this campaign.


Center - Joel Embiid (Philadelphia 76ers)

Despite his knee concerns, Joel Embiid playing against the Brooklyn Nets is a possibility and he would surely dominate the paint if he can go out and perform.

Embiid is one of the strongest candidates for the 2020-21 NBA Most Valuable Player award. Even though it is early days in the campaign, Embiid's impact has been already noticeable.
