The former Magic and Pistons power forward made a significant improvement in his game through the course of the summer of 2017 - adding a potent 3-point spot-up shot to his arsenal. After averaging below-league-average numbers from downtown during his first 6 seasons in the league, Harris ranked #14 among all qualified players in 3-point percentage for the 2017-18 season, shooting 41.4% from downtown.

However, Harris is anything but just a Kyle Korver-like spot-up-shooting threat. Over the course of his NBA career, Harris has blossomed into a well-rounded scorer from the midrange as well. He uses his quickness and a pristine, Carmelo Anthony-like shooting stroke to create mismatches against traditional big men, all of whom he's quicker than.

If only Harris were a more aggressive driver of the ball, he'd be able to use his excellent free throw shooting more productively in the form of points.

Nevertheless, 2018-19 will be Harris’ age-26 season, meaning he’ll be just entering his prime, so don’t be surprised if he does improve those two minor deficiencies and becomes an even more productive player next year.
