Mike D'antoni Using Harden at PG

Post by WillyJakkz »

I know Harden played primary ballhandler in OKC between Westbrook and Durant as 6th Man of the Year but Biz is the first person I thought of when seeing Mike D'antoni play James Harden at PG in Houston this season.

He should cut Biz a check because it's working terrifically. :lol:

We occasionally threw him at PF, but it rarely happens though.

he is putting up some good stats but 8-5 is not the most impressive record to be honest (disclaimer: I'm a Harden hater)

8-5 is pretty good considering the steaming pile of shit that is the rest of that roster.

To add on to that, the Rockets have an oRtg of 118 with Harden, 97 without. They have a 6% increase on eFG with him, and he is third in the league in win shares at 3.1 WS. He's a monster and definitely a top 10 player.

He's basically been playing point since he went to Houston. Positions are overrated anyway.
