Is James Harden the most overrated/softest player today?

[moe94]

Hes a well above average player but he gets mad overrated. Top 25 player tho

Literally no argument to have him outside top 15.

[BoutPractice]

Underrated at this point. I only ever hear bad things about him.

He's just a one dimensional scorer. He's Rudy Gay with better efficiency and worse defense.

If his shot isn't falling, he's useless on the court. A liability. Good thing for him that he rarely has a completely off night. But, unlike the true greats who can impact the game in other ways, there's nothing for him to fall back on.

He is a decent playmaker/passer though.

There's a reason for this.

Come on dude. If you value defense, there's absolutely an argument for that. A very strong one at that too.

Lol at you putting iggy.
Harden is a pretty good all around player. The problem is, he chooses when he wants to play defense. I think Harden is top 15.

Btw you should put Howard in that list. I think 19/12/2 is top 25 worthy

You know what's overrated....guys that do nothing but score and don't play a lick of defense.

Rockets played the Bucks last night. It was closer than it should have been. Harden had 22 but his man scored on him all night long. Didn't matter who it was. Knight ended up with 23 on 10-20 shooting and Wolters (who?) had a career high with 19.

People are all like "Harden scores and points win games". They don't even take into account the fact that his man is getting EASY looks...I'm talking wide open jumpers and layups...and that's one of the main reasons why Houston can't seem to put opponents away.

I barely watched the game but lin and beverley were guarding wolters and knight

My favorite James Harden moment isn't even on the court. Harden Soul is absolutely his peak no matter what he may do as a player.

In all seriousness, I don't really like the guy's game but who knows. It might be a Matt Barnes like situation where you dislike the guy if he's not on your team but find him great if he is on your team. Can he be overrated at times? Sure but that's ISH. Someone has an amazing game or two and there's 20 topics on it.

Harden is overrated. He is not as overrated as Kobe, Rose, Melo, and Irving though. Harden is Paul George level overrated. Harrison Barnes is really overrated for some reason as well.

Iggy is DPOY worthy plus he can run the floor and make plays for everyone. He also shooting good from 3
I put Howard there He Fright

James Harden isn't half the player Paul George is

He's averaging 8/4/4 with good defense. That's not a top 25 player, imho. My homie, Parsons is having a 17/5/3 season with decent defense. Luol Deng is even having a better season than iggy.

Anyways, I still think Harden is top 15. With defense he's top 7-8

After the playoffs, then we'll talk if this is true or not.
