Joe Harris

Anyone who has watched any Nets games know just how important the floor spacing Joe Harris brings to the table is. More than half of his shot attempts come from beyond the arc and he gives a team without its two All-NBA caliber players some much-needed offense, specifically anytime Caris LeVert is struggling.

Speaking of LeVert, since he was not much of a sniper before this season (career average of 33.9 percent) having an option like Harris alongside him is essential if they are to take any games in this series.

Harris Is tied for fourth In 3-point shooting percentage (42.4) among all players attempting at least 300 shots from distance this season. In Orlando he is shooting 54.1 percent, second among players attempting at least 5 per game.

While the focus for Harris that is simply an indicator of him knowing his role. Harris is never likely to be your best player, through the 20.0 scoring average in the seeding games is nothing to frown upon. He is the thirteenth highest-scoring guard in the bubble and compliments his current backcourt mate perfectly.

Harris, like most Nets, is doing everything they can to not only win games against the Raptors but audition to be on the team next year when the star power ceiling raises. He is already showing just how much he belongs.
