Lol. Are you confusing Tobias Harris with someone else? Rim protector? He averages .6 blocks a game. And plays SF/PF. He has a -.4 DBPM for his career. He's an okay slasher (at the 4, nothing special at the 3), but 28% of his shots are threes. And calling him a great (let alone best in the NBA) PnR ballhandler is nothing short of hilarious. (2 assists to 1.6 turnovers a game...)
He does have a diverse offensive skill-set. And he's an above average scorer. Problem is, he's not particularly *great* at any of those things. 46/31/78 shooter.
He's an upgrade on Ersan, absolutely. But eating that kind of contract for a solid offensive tweener who doesn't play D and doesn't stretch the floor well (next to a center who *needs* a floor stretcher), is a meh move to me.
