A bushel of top picks allowed the Sixers to draft superstar center Joel Embiid, a yearly Most Valuable Player candidate, and make trades to put quality talent around him. In 2018, Harristhat the Sixers—and also his NHL team, the Devils—making the playoffs for the first time since 2011-12 season was “validation” for the teardown approach.
“All these teams we started with a long-range plan and a real strategy about what we wanted to accomplish,” he said. “We knew it would take several years to get there. We inherited situations that were not set up as well as we would have liked. So this is more validation of what we thought. It’s much more fun to be going to games and matches now than to be planning for the draft lottery.
