NBA Comparison: Kris Humphries/Glen Rice

Strengths: Tobias is a talented, combo forward with a skill-set suited for NBA play … Has good versatility and a great feel for the game … His ability to handle the ball makes him a tough match-up for opposing bigs, however he’ll need to develop a consistent outside stroke to make him more of a threat off the dribble … He uses a combination of strength and agility to either overpower or elude his defender … He has broad shoulders solid upperbody with plenty of room to fill out … Harris has the ability to put the ball on the floor, with a deceivingly quick first step that creates mismatch problems at the high post … Shows timely slashing across the middle, where he can catch and score in the paint with either hand … He has an excellent touch and feel around the basket, finding ways to convert on floaters and runners in the lane… Positions his body effectively for easy opportunities in the low post … Solid leaper … His long arms and upper-body strength should help him on the defensive side of the ball moving forward … Has a lot of potential being one of the youngest players in the entire draft. Unlike many freshmen, he’s an 18 year old … A bright kid. A gymrat who works hard on his game and shows a mature "professional" mindset …

Weaknesses: At 6’8, he’s slightly undersized at the power forward position, and lacks the athleticism, explosiveness and foot speed to guard most NBA small forwards … He also lacks a refined post game, missing a go-to back to the basket move – relies too much on his pure feel for the basket … Inconsistent spot up shooter without threatening range. Shows good form but did not shoot with very good numbers … Pull-up or step-back jumper not currently in his repertoire … Lack of great footspeed inhibits his ability to attack the rim off the dribble despite having quality ball handling ability … Body appears a little pudgy. He needs to shed the babyfat and tone his body some …

Overall: Harris averaged 15 points and 7 rebounds in his freshman year on a disfunctional Tennessee team, proving to be one of the more versatile players in the country at just 18 years old … His consistency and high basketball IQ at such a young age is an attractive quality to General Managers, and he managed to score in double figures in all but three games as a freshman …
