which makes this stat pretty pointless. He's effective in a form of defense that doesnt apply on 97% of possessions.
Harden is long enough to guard 4's. Strength isn't an issue as well. The money making lineup in the playoffs will have Harden at the four with Hamilton and Parsons as the wings.
Harden has been playing more against post players recently. And he's been doing well against them. That is why the stat was posted. It's relevant.
Obviously some people like to post comments without actually having watched the games to be able to make well informed posts. What's wrong with that?
