4. Tobias Harris

The Orlando Magic made a major mistake letting Tobias Harris go at the trade deadline, shipping him to the Detroit Pistons for a measly package of Ersan Ilyasova and Brandon Jennings. The only problem is Harris hasn’t made them fully regret that decision just yet.

Like many players on Orlando’s roster, Harris was experiencing a bit of a down year in his first full season with the Scott Skiles-led Magic. His numbers had dropped from 17.1 points and 6.3 rebounds per game on 36.6 percent shooting from three-point range in 2014-15 to 13.7 points and 7.0 rebounds per game on 31.1 percent shooting from downtown in 2015-16.

In his first 13 games with the Pistons, however, Harris has boosted his numbers back up to 16.9 points and 5.6 rebounds per game on 50.3 percent shooting from the floor and 39.1 percent shooting from downtown. It’s only a matter of time before the Magic front office understands the full extent of their mistake dealing Harris away.
