I went with .... Teeth. But it isn't the teeth in his mouth Im talking about. Its being ferocious defensively , putting some teeth into his defense.
He needs to work on movement without the ball so he can get open shots against good defenses easier. And he needs to stop trying to force the refs to call fouls.
He should finish better than 70%. I thought he was one of the best finishers in the league and then I saw Wade's % at the rim - a whole other class.
Wade was the only guard in the league to finish > 70% at the rim on 4+ attempts per game this year, and for his career he's usually around 65%. Harden's FG% on shots at the rim is just fine.
Random but I was watching Durant doing an interview recently and noticed he had braces on his bottom teeth.

It's not my team or Tim's team or Manu's team or Tony's team. It's our team. But the offense has certainly morphed into more of a perimeter offense than a post offense like it was when Timmy was younger. We still use Timmy on the post a good deal. But the ball is probably in Tony and Manu's hands more than it is in Timmy's hands. That's for sure."
