That Sanchez guy looks decent on the offensive end for Puerto Rico. Looks like he would fit well on the Rockets. Yet to see him on the defensive end though
lot of individuals out there on the court...lack of wanting to get the next person a better shot... On a surprising note...Harden has been initiating the hockey assist a lot...
I'm thinking so too. Spain has good guard play and better big men...I mean we are trotting out Plumlee out there, who as of right now looks better than Cousins. Kind of crazy when you realize. The best Centers in the NBA, most of them aren't from USA anymore. Marc, Noah, and Dwight...Asik I think can be a top 5 center and then I don't know...Brook Lopez when healthy. Back to spain though, this isn't looking good for Team USA. I'm not sure this team has a leader like the past teams. Harden or Irving going to have to take that role.
USA's best starting lineup IMO would be: Curry/Irving Harden Thompson Faried Davis Or Curry/Irving Rose Harden Faried Davis Irving and Curry are just playing horrendous defense
One three was made in literally Harden's face. The other was hit while he was jumping out and contesting. Harden's been playing excellent help defense this game
Yeah, the last 2 3s that were hit on him looked like decent close outs. Sometimes the shot goes in. But he definitely hasn't been as sharp shooting the ball tonight.
His defense is what is making me happy...the possibilities..he wouldnt have closed out on that three with the Rockets last year. My issue is with his shot selection...He has to attack the teeth of the defense more...and force them to collapse. Harden's role has to be huge for team USA imho.
Yeah, he hasn't been on point in terms on shooting. But we know Harden usually hits em. From what I've seen from Harden so far in international play in unbiased view: He has played great overall defense especially when helping his man He has had communication issues when it comes to the zone defense which is a problem for the entire lineup Harden has been doing his sleepwalking thing going into the paint, but I've noticed he has caught himself in the act more often. Team USA's offense has looked best with Harden handling the ball. No this isn't a biased homer thing, it's a fact. Team USA's offense was built around Durant, so I'm guessing Harden is filling the void. Harden in my honest unbiased opinion has looked like the second best player on the team behind Anthony Davis
