Reason for Value Disconnect: His contract

You can probably count on one hand how many conversations have centered around Tobias Harris in the last few years that haven't mentioned his eye-popping salary figures.

Yes, it's true Harris has made over $32 million in each season since 2019-20. Yes, it's true he's earning a whopping $39.3 million this season as his five-year, $180 million pact with the Philadelphia 76ers draws to a conclusion. Yes, it's true he's been drastically overpaid.

But after Harris took an unnecessarily big step back in a jam-packed Sixers lineup each of the last two seasons, he's again proving his all-around value in 2023-24.

The 31-year-old isn't a primary scorer, a shutdown defender, a board-eating rebounder, a leading distributor or any other superlative. But he's highly capable in just about every area, whether he's attacking the rim, spacing the floor, guarding multiple positions or filling in the cracks. And considering he gets to operate alongside the reigning MVP in Joel Embiid and a surging star in Tyrese Maxey, that's been more than enough for a Philadelphia squad looking to make some serious postseason noise and end the falling-flat-in-the-playoffs pattern.
