The newest member of the Philadelphia 76ers, small forward Tobias Harris, is a big fan of Sixers All-Star Ben Simmons and very excited to play with the 2017-18 Rookie of the Year.

The Sixers acquired Tobias Harris from the LA Clippers in a blockbuster trade. The team now has a lethal Big Four of Joel Embiid, Jimmy Butler, Ben Simmons and Harris.

The 26-year-old Harris says Simmons is a beast in the open court and will help him get a lot of easy baskets.

Simmons is indeed a monster on the fast break. He's a 6-foot-10 point-forward and can explode to the basket with ease. The 22-year-old is averaging 17.0 points, 9.4 rebounds and 8.0 assists per game this season while shooting 57.4 percent from the field.

Harris is an excellent spot-up shooter and he figures to get a lot of wide-open shots playing alongside Butler, Simmons and Embiid with the Sixers. Simmons and Butler collapse the paint on all of their drives to the basket, while Embiid gets double-teamed in the post religiously.

Harris is averaging 20.9 points, 7.9 rebounds and 2.7 assists on the season. The New York native is shooting 49.6 percent from the floor, 43.4 percent from the 3-point line and 87.7 percent from the foul line. It's going to be a lot of fun to watch the Sixers play for the rest of the season.
