Is James Harden the worst defensive player at the SG position in the NBA?

[Kidbasketball20]

His perimeter shooting, driving to the basket, FT %, and ball handling are superb.


But his defense. :facepalm


And yet he still gets franchise/star money plus all star game appearances?



(Harden/Rocket stans incoming)

[fpliii]

Possibly. But they have Beverley and Ariza on the perimeter, who are universally considered to be plus defenders.

Interesting, I don't think we've heard this before. please tell us more.



btw how you feel about Nash starting over lin bruh? :roll:

Defensive awareness is his biggest problem. Instead of looking at his man, he looks at the ball. I don't know why he hasn't fixed that yet... It's not that hard to look at your man.

Look at your man does not give you steal and tired you out that you have to chase scrubs around. For a heavy man like harden chase rabbits are not fun. He rather gamble the passing lane then let people shot uncontested shots and go for the rebound. There is no stat associated with chase your man around and playing good D.:confusedshrug:

So weird that you could do that at the professional level.

[T_L_P]

Maybe Marco if you consider him an SG?

It looks like he goes to the 3pt line and realizes his man isn't there so he runs like hell to try to recover. :lol

[ArbitraryWater]

If Kobe gets held to under 40 points by James Harden on opening night, he might as well retire.

[rlsmooth775]

kobe is

[Xsatyr]

He gets caught watching the ball because he wants to get the steal on the pass. He gambles too much to find the easy basket on the fastbreak.
