    A more dominant Brent Barry. Can shoot the 3, get into the lane, ball handle play-make, and can throw down some high-flying dunks.

    Not to mention starting their careers backing up some great players (Barry backed up Gary Payton for a while and ended up having some great impact performances in the play-offs).

    What say you, Clutch-Fans?

    Yeah he really does remind me of a Paul Pierce type of player. When Paul was in his prime, he was a sneaky athletic player. Just like Harden. And both are great mid range players/ 3 point shooters

    I'm going to wait and see how he does as the star of a team before i make any guesses on this. Either he's going to stay a 17 PPG guy or he's gonna go for closer to 24+ as the first option. If he shines as the star, I can see a comparison to T-Mac in Orlando. The one we wanted to get without all the injuries. He may not be as tall as T-Mac but he can drive and create for himself and others, has range, and it appears that he has the drive to be the closer and put the team on his shoulders. All things that McGrady was when we traded for him. No, I don't think he's going to get 2 scoring titles like T-Mac, but he has the potential to be an impact player for us and help turn this team around, also what we were hoping when he traded for McGrady. But only time will tell.

    Honestly, dude is totally a hybrid of Manu Ginobili and Brandon Roy.

    Yeah, I was thinking a bigger Vernon Maxwell, with a consistent shot and a bit less defense. ;-)-

    His game brings back memories of Greg Ostertag.

    Harden needs to add a set shot 3-pointer.

    Deron Williams at the SG position.

    A lot of solid mass and a deceptive ability to get it into the hoop.
