Philadelphia 76ers
Tobias Harris
There was a point over the past couple of seasons where the overwhelming unanimous belief was that Tobias Harris was somewhat of a lost cause and that he had played out his time with the Philadelphia 76ers. However, he’s had a reemergence this season when the team has needed it most.
With James Harden moving on, Harris has been a key contributor once again for the Sixers and he’s played at least a small part in their impressive early-season success.
Phoenix Suns
Eric Gordon
So far this season, the master plan for the Phoenix Suns hasn’t exactly gone as planned. While Kevin Durant has lived up to his end of the deal, Bradley Beal has only played in three games so far this season due to injuries and there are very big questions about the Suns and how this season ends for them.
However, if there’s been one saving grace for the team in Beal’s absence, it’s been Eric Gordon. Choosing to take less money for the opportunity to play for a special team, Gordon has been vital to Phoenix whether it’s been in a starting role or coming off the bench. And they should be grateful for his sacrifices and contributions.
