Pistons Veteran Lands Respectable Spot in Recent Position Rankings

In the midst of adding veterans to their roster last summer, the Detroit Pistons decided to reunite with a familiar face.

Although his production took a noticeable dip in 2025, he was still reasonably ranked among his counterparts at his position.

Prior to returning to Detroit, Harris was a key piece for the Philadelphia 76ers as they aimed to contend in the Eastern Conference.

Following a five-and-a-half-year run with the organization, he went a different route for the next chapter of his career.

Instead of trying to chase a championship on a contender, Harris joined a young Pistons team to serve as a mentor for the next generation.

As a consummate professional, he is a good choice for a mentor for Detroit's batch of former lottery picks.

While he was mainly brought in to serve as a veteran leader for the Pistons, Harris still managed to provide a boost on the floor.

He continues to be a do-it-all forward at this later stage of his career, averaging 13.7 PPG, 5.9 RPG, and 2.2 APG on 34.5% shooting from three in the regular season.

Ahead of the 2026 season, the people at HoopsHype decided to provide an updated ranking for each position.

When it came to power forwards, Harris landed just outside the top 10.

He was slotted in at No.

12, just behind players such as Aaron Gordon, Lauri Markkanen, and Cam Johnson.

The 2026 campaign will be an important one for Harris, as he'll look to put together a strong showing in his second season since coming back to the Pistons.

He is entering the final year of his contract and will surely have his looming free agency in the back of his mind.

Even though his future is uncertain, Harris will continue to serve as a leader in the Pistons' locker room as they look to build off their success last season.
