Even at his state he's still the best player on the floor, and it's obvious. Had a really hot shooting night from 3 and did a decent job playing within the pace of the game.
His movement is still noticeably off. He's hobbled. His lift hasn't returned and he's been unable to pivot or defend in space with much effectiveness. His defense has been hit much harder by this injury than his offense has.
On an aside, watching this Nuggets game and marveled at Aaron Gordon's impact (as per usual). Physical freak, dominates transitions and the glass, secondary rim protection, elite finishing in traffic, active off ball.
I just looked at Tobias Harris and sighed.
