You are suspect. Harden’s handles are pretty darn good. To say CP3 has better handles than Harden is no slight to Harden at all, just a testament to how great CP3 is. You task ANY player to carry the amount of workload Harden has taken on since his time in Houston and they would all have turnovers, probably even more so.
If you ever played basketball you know like organized basketball you would know how it feels to play with a guard that knows how to pass to you in a way that helps you shoot the ball at your best versus a pass that just gets to you and at times you gotta adjust to get the best shot off. Not making excuses for Anderson or Ariza but this is what i see. Guys taking better form in rhythm shots off CP3's passes.
I would still say his biggest value comes from crunch time. CP3 is historically one of the best if not the best clutch performer. He gets his team great shots in half court against the best defenders. Harden for all his greatness doesn't have CP3's efficiency for generating best looks. I can just imagine How ridiculous we can be in close games when the pace slows down and D'Antoni can use harden as the secondary ball handler. That may be a combo not even the Warriors can stop.
