Makes sense bc 2017 is the exact year he went from eurostep man to stepback man

36 ppg on less than 1 catch and shoot 3 per game is crazy

[–] ChiefSoldierFrog@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The crazy thing is if you watch him he hesitates a lot when he gets a good catch and shoot opportunity.

Yeah he's so used to playing one exact way that the transition to off-ball has been difficult

[–] RickySuela@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Does this mean the Clippers have him playing off ball more than he has in 8 years? I thought they brought him in to run the offense?

[–] McBrungus@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Last year he started the season taking these shots at around the same rate, if memory serves, and as the season went on they became progressively less common.

James harden is my 3rd favorite player ever but honestly my favorite James harden season was 2015-16 it felt like he got to the rim so much more often had ( and used) a great middy and still was an amazing passer

[–] IgnorantGenius@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I wonder if it's because there are other players on the team who can create off the dribble.
