RAW SCOUT NOTES FROM PHILADELPHIA 76ERS GAMES I WATCHED LAST SEASON (in order from start of the season to the end)
vs Bucks
HARRIS loved to dribble to 12-18 feet and shooting a pull up jumper
Crazy efficient overall from the field in this game and a CLUTCH 3 late
Does he need more shots? OR is this the perfect role?
vs Celtics
HARRIS getting a lot of talk about some increased role
Same USG% as last year (both lowest of his career)
FGA per100 are also the lowest of his career (FTA are up right now)
C&S 3P and mid range pull ups
vs Nuggets
HARRIS making clutch plays on both ends of the court
vs Mavs
HARRIS taking the Doncic matchup
BATUM taking it when he comes in
Takes the Kyrie matchup when Luka goes out
Having this type of versatility is valuable
Makes some off the ball defensive plays as well
Broadcast is even talking about the up and down season Harris has had in terms of scoring the ball
He has some real iso ability in that mid range but you can see where this could go in and out of having any sort of efficiency
Gets it going mid to late 2nd quarter in this one
He HAS to be that legit 3rd option for this team to have a real chance in the playoffs (along with Embiid healthy of course)
Hits back to back corner 3PAs as I type this
Has been absolutely AWESOME
ABSOLUTELY HUGE OREB WITH 3:00 TO GO AND ALL MOMENTUM WITH MAVS
Up 7 and Batum gets floater on ensuing possession to go up 9
These are the types of plays you need from him along with the scoring in the playoffs
He was awesome in this game
Scored the ball throughout the game but made HUGE shots late in the game where they probably don’t win if he misses
vs Heat (Play In)
HARRIS makes a couple ridiculously tough mid range jumpers in the 1st quarter
But airballs a 3PA and then misses a couple bunnies right at the rim
This was right after Embiid had as well
Responds with back to back really nice plays
OREB putback and drive and dump off assist to Reed
Hasn’t really been a factor at all in the 2nd half
vs Knicks (RD1)
HARRIS has not been efficient from the field BUT he is at least making his presence felt
Couple really nice active hands plays on defense
Nice mid range jump shot to start the 2nd quarter
Nice tipped OREB that gets Hield a quick 2 points
Another somewhat scramble play off Embiid rolling the ball to him, attacks the closeout and finds Batum for a C&S 3PM as shot clock is expiring
Seems like what he is not making is these open C&S opportunities
Here he makes one and he is putting together a heck of a 1st half
Knocks down his next one as well
Has now been a really rough 3rd quarter after the very good 1st half
Was essentially a no show in the 2nd half
Does come up with a BIG OREB around 3 minutes to go in the game
AND has had some decent defensive possessions here late
vs Knicks (RD1)
HARRIS looking aggressive early
Already has 3 attempts in the first 3 minutes (only has made 1)
Follows up Maxey drive for OREB putback
He has been EXTREMELY active but man, he misses a point blank putback and Brunson hits a wide open C&S 3P on the ensuing possession
He is staying aggressive but he is not making shots
He really has to start making some of these
