Sixers’ Tobias Harris reveals he changed shooting mechanics for new role

Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris reveals that he changed his shooting mechanics to prepare for his new role within the offense.

CAMDEN, N.J.–Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris has had to adjust and sacrifice a ton throughout his time with the Sixers. The veteran forward has had so many different roles from having to be the No. 2 option on offense to having to be a floor spacer to having to be the go-to guy, and now he’s the No. 4 option.

Now, with James Harden injured, Harris has to adjust again. Initially, the veteran out of Tennessee was going to be the catch-and-shoot guy on the offensive end, and that is what he prepared for, but now he has to be one of the catalysts on the offensive end again.

To begin the season, Harris is averaging 14.4 points and he’s been efficient at 49.5% from the floor and 44.6% from deep on 5.6 attempts per game. He revealed that he changed his shooting mechanics in order to be more efficient out on the floor.
