As of right now, yes he is. He needs to do this in the playoffs, and continue it next year for the majority of the NBA followers to believe so. But Harden is playing on a special level lately.
Yeah, I rank Rose #3 assuming the fact that he is still Derrick Rose.... which is sort of absurd since the guy is still in his early 20's. Right now this second I would say that teams would probably be a little apprehensive about taking him over Harden given his ACL injury, but just a couple years ago in his MVP campaign.. damn he was special. I hope for the NBA's sake that he regains that form once again here in the future. Still, Im just giddy that we are even having a conversation about whether or not you would draft James Harden or Derrick Rose in a fictitious fantasy style draft... truly amazing that Houston landed this guy right now in this point of his career.
