    Harden guarding the most competitive position in the game might not be the best idea.

    He will be bigger with size adv. & he does't like to run anyway on D.


    Parson the only player who has meaningful dribbling:grin:

    About our other PGs:

    One cant defend , the other cant pass, and the third only good for D.

    Doesn't Harden play PG most of the time anyway?

    Yes indeed, we basically play with 4 guys on the floor and a spare guy who does't have a clue of what to do expect of Patrick who realized he better be a rebounder :grin:to earn his spot

    parsons can't guard fast shooting guards. neither can harden.

    Because we'd get smoked on the perimeter even worse than we do now.

    Actually Harden's defensive woes are at their worst when his man is playing off the ball. He seems to be very prone to missing rotations or getting caught ball-watching. When his man has the ball, it's not that bad, cause ball-watching isn't an issue then. I still don't think this is a good idea, but I'd give Harden some more credit on his on-ball D. The biggest problem I see is the opposing PG would run him rugged and then our offense will suck hard.

    If we traded for Deng I would be all over this. The problem with the current make-up of the team is you are stuck with a water bug like Bev/Lin/Brooks to pair next Harden or you could throw out Cisco and see what happens.

    If Harden is your PG get a bigger defender to pair next to him to maximize match-ups. Throw Deng in the mix and start Harden at PG, this team improves defensively and becomes more dynamic offensively. Just my humble opinion
