    How would you rate our players as passers
    This is not necessarily about assists but the ability to put the pass where it needs to go

    Harden and Russ maybe 1 and 2 (maybe not)
    Who else do you trust to make the correct/accurate pass?

    1. Harden
    2. Russ. . . . ..
    I am unsure after this.

    I was going to put a poll .. . but that would not measure what I am thinking

    James is in his own tier in terms of passing imo, Russ is good but sometimes he just throws the ball with low accuracy or with bad timing, not even close to James overall, after them though, we really don't have good passers on this team, the fact that some people here list Clint in our top 4/5 (and i actually agree with that) says enough, between our main rotation guys i'd probably say:

    Harden
    Westbrook
    House
    Capela
    Gordon/Rivers/Tucker

    This is an interesting topic for me because of several things.
    1. This is part of the problem with our offense sometimes. Alot of passes are late/off/or just plain bad.
    They lead to turn overs or more often than not allows the defense to recover.
    2. When we take the ball out of Harden's hands to do all these cuts and motions people want. . . who do you trust to get it back to him.
    I have seen them f*ck up a hand off pass . . . .When the defense overplays Harden the rest have a hard time getting the ball to him
    Our contested inbound plays are a crapshoot.

    Who do you trust to take the ball out when there is 3 seconds on the clock at the end of the game?

    Who has the best Ast to turnover ratio?

    I think Harden is a risky passer, not an elite one......too many turnovers, same for Russ.

    Gordon is a trash passer...nowhere close to Russ

    I know Russ is hated by many here, but at some point the disrespect gets outta hand

    Harden

    gap

    Russ

    huge, cavernous, enormous, astronomical gap

    Rivers
    Gordon (officially in the trash category when it comes to passing)
    I guess House

    point is, it’s really just Harden and Russ, and then the rest are garbage

    You are such a senstive soul - can't take Harden criticism.

    Ok, best passer on the Rockets -

    Harden

    Not really....you just jump from thread to thread
    Not to participate but to just spill hatred.

    The question is about the whole team
    Criticism is one thing. But you run in...say Harden sucks
    And parade around like a peacock

    Answer your own question. Who does have the best asst to turnover ratio?
