Tobias Harris is one of the best young players you don’t know about. The 22-year old is averaging 18 points, 6.9 rebounds and 1.9 dimes a game.
Harris is set to become a free agent this summer and he apparently has his eyes on New York, according to his close friend.
“It’s always exciting,’’ Harris said of facing the Knicks. “No place like home. Love being at home, playing at home in front of family and friends. It’s going to be a good game.”
Harris has a big summer ahead, electing to become a restricted free agent rather than signing Orlando’s four-year, $36 million extension offer. A source told The Post in November the Knicks are tops on his list.
Thursday night, a close friend of Harris told The Post, “He wants to win a championship with the Knicks.’’
There’s been speculation of New York targeting Marc Gasol and if they’re able to snatch up Harris also, then you could possibly see playoff basketball in New York next year.
