Tobias Harris: Available off bench Friday

Harris will be available off the bench Friday, and coach Stan Van Gundy said he expects him to play "a lot," Pistons' radio voice Mark Champion reports.

Analysis:

Van Gundy said Harris will come off the bench for his first handful of games in a new uniform, but the expectation is that he'll take the starting spot vacated by Ersan Ilyasova at some point. Regardless, it doesn't look as though his minutes will be limited as a byproduct of coming off the bench, so Harris could be a dark horse daily play in tournament formats, though he's fairly risky considering it'll be his first chance to play alongside new teammates.
