Harden is as complete of a wing player as I have ever seen especially at his age. Give him space, he will hit a 3. Get up on him and he will drive to the basket. Double him and he will make the right pass. He can over power you and out finesse you. He can cross you over or run you over. The only aspect of his game that is even remotely close to average is his ball handling but its above average for a 2 guard. If he stays healthy, he will be the best offensive player in Rocket's history.
OFFENSIVELY, he COULD be better than Dream. As good as dream was, he could be limited by simply zoning him (Sonics illegal defense). Harden is just as efficient as Dream right now and you can give him the ball anywhere on the court. Health and motivation are the only things that can stop Harden right now.
Not just complete but he makes the right decisions and he is clutch. Its beginning go be a situation where I'm scared something bad is gonna happen. I don't want to jinx it

Look at the offensive numbers, and see if I'm smoking crack.
Also rockets have a run and gun system currently. More possessions per game. Hakeem's rockets were a half court team.
