I was surprised with how bouncy he is. He had a crazy poster last season that flew under the radar: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aVg9qvic998

Really impressed with this guy so far. Was surprised to see him getting a play called for him at 0:27...as a rookie coming off the bench that's huge.
Harden's offensive prowess is overrated, and he'll be exposed playing against better competition this season.
- His lazy defense gives up easy looks + offensive boards, and has 0 effort in transition, offsetting a lot of his production on the other end
- He's useless off-ball, players guarding him can just stand and rest
- His scoring has relied heavily on his ability to draw fouls, which isn't a reality anymore
The basketball fan in me says Chet, the corporate cynic in me says Wemby.
Keep in mind it’s their contract year. It’s in their best interest to drive their value up this season.
