    I'm asking him to go back to the Thunder offensive version of Harden, only he's the primary scoring option instead of second or third behind KD and RW.

    Just simply putting Harden in the corner or the arc turns the game into 4 on 4. And if they cheat up too close he burns them back door. That was a key play in OKC with WB handling up top. They were impossible to defend with both him and KD in there on the wings with WB up top.



    I suppose I'm not optimistic either. But I'm hopeful. And I'm going to keep punching up data on here showing that Harden needs to accept a primary playmaker from the perimeter. Because I want this team to win championships with Harden. He's too good of a player just to waste year after year putting up inflated numbers but losing out in crunch time against the good teams because everybody on both benches, all the fans in the gymnasium, and the millions watching on tv know exactly what is coming with Harden operating as the playmaker from the top.

    I may check out some of his team USA highlights and have a look at his play there. He certainly wasn't required to do as much ball handling with some of those* lineups. He may have even played some forward if I'm not mistaken.

    A small part of me wants to run him out at PG and live with the turnovers provided we get some serious shooters at every position.


    *Obviously those teams were stacked and the opposition not as formidible but it should give a good idea of what he can do.

    Im a huge Kentucky fan which is one of the reasons It took so long for me to give up on Jones and I have to admit I was wrong about him. If the choice is between Skal and Tyler there is no way I pick Skal. He is a very good kid and I hope he gets paid but unless something seriously clicks he has bust written all over him. Tyler will have a great career without a doubt in my mind I'm just not sure he fits if we keep the same three or layup thinking. Coach Cal has said he is the best floor general he has ever had but he uses his mid range game more than anything.

    Should take Skal.

    Little raw now, but his jumper is so, so smooth. Plus he has the defensive awareness to challenge shots and move his feet.

    Needs to put on about 15 pounds, but I could definitely see him as being Anthony Davis lite after 2 or 3 years.

    Ulis needs the ball in his hands to be effective.

    Harden is our PG.

    He runs from contact and just doesn't have the mentality to bang inside. He got manhandled all year by these scrubs in the SEC. Putting his name in the same sentence as AD should be against the law. I hope for the best for Skal and hope he makes it to take care of his family I just hope its not on this team.
