Tobias Harris has always been among the most underrated players in the league because of a lack of overall team success. Now thriving on a Los Angeles Clippers team that is perfect for him and among the top teams in the West, Harris deserves to make an All-Star appearance for the first time.

Tobias Harris has been performing at a high level for years and is one of the most efficient players in the league. He’s been the perfect combo forward for the modern NBA due to his strength, versatility, lightning-quick release and ability to put the ball on the floor. This is nothing new.

Although he’s averaged over 16 points and six rebounds on over 46 percent shooting several different time throughout his career, he was playing on teams that were struggling or simply never got to see the light of day.

Now in his eighth NBA season, Harris has played for the Milwaukee Bucks, Orlando Magic and Detroit Pistons, but has only reached the postseason twice. Now leading the way for a surprisingly good Los Angeles Clippers team, Harris’ play is finally getting some recognition and he’s playing the best basketball of his career.

There are multiple factors that play into a potential All-Star selection, and Tobias Harris meets nearly all of them thus far.
