Tobias Harris: A

Tobias Harris had big shoes to fill when he came to Los Angeles. As the premier player being returned for Griffin, Harris was forced to take the reigns and try to replace one of the greatest players in Clippers franchise history.

And really, he did a great job of doing just that.

In 31 games with the Clippers, Harris has put up 19.2 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 3.1 assists per game, as well as shooting 41.5% from beyond the arc.

That being said, it’s not all numbers with Harris. He handled the pressure extremely well, easing into his new role without really having a “bad night”.

He’s due for a breakout campaign in 2018-2019, after which he’ll become a free agent. It’ll be interesting to see which direction the Clippers go with Harris after that, but he’s proved that he has the potential to be a real star in the NBA.
