Tobias Harris on upcoming season: 'This is probably the most excited I've been throughout my whole career'
“Every day we’re in the lab, working on different looks, different reads, different options,” said Harris, a 13-year veteran. “And I think this is probably the most excited I’ve been throughout my whole career of a team and a great situation. “Every day that we come on that court, I’m generally being pushed and coached and excited for the opportunity.”

“I really think he can do a lot of everything like really well. You know he can drive it, play in the open floor. He can shoot. He can post, score a bit.
““He can defend. He can be a switchable guy. So that’s a lot of positives.”

More on this storyline
Nick Nurse appears to be the best coach to unlock Tobias Harris. And that should be great for the 76ers. “I really think he can do a lot of everything like really well,” Nurse said of the forward. “You know he can drive it, play in the open floor. He can shoot. He can post, score a bit.” And the Sixers coach wasn’t done. “He can defend,” Nurse added. “He can be a switchable guy. So that’s a lot of positives.” -via The Philadelphia Inquirer / October 21, 2023
What are your expectations for Tyrese Maxey this year? Tobias Harris: I think he’s an All-Star. I think he’s going to show people his playmaking ability as well. I think he’s such a great shot-maker and somebody who makes tough shots. It’s impressive, especially with the threes he makes off the bounce, and to be able to shoot it at a high clip. I think we’re going to see a big leap for him this year. -via HoopsHype / October 17, 2023
Regarding James Harden, do you guys try to tell him we’d still love to play with you and build off last season, or do you guys not get involved? Tobias Harris: Nah. I think nobody has any ill will or hard feelings on that situation. We’re just taking it day by day and seeing where it goes. What are fair expectations for the 76ers this season? Tobias Harris: As a collective group, we expect to win every opportunity we go out on the floor. We’ll see where that leads us, but we also know we have a lot of work to do. As a team that went to the second round last year and lost a seven-game series in Game 7, we want to be back in that spot and change the narrative. -via HoopsHype / October 17, 2023
