why not let ball hog Harden run the point?

    Horford
    Beasley can be point forward when Harden wants to score
    Ariza
    Bazemore
    Harden needs to improve his defense against quick PG's or let Baze or Ariza defend them..

    This lineup means we can switch everything on defense

    switchign everything is terrible defense and harden is like wade at point. i'd rather harden still run most of the offense, but get at least two guys, preferably one big and one wing/pg, who can take some of the playmaking/ballhandling off his hands.

    Because he'll break another turnover record.

    I have heard Charlie quote statistics on turnovers showing that really it's just a function the time you have the ball. Some of the greatest facilitators in the history of the league have the highest turnover totals, Magic Stockton etc.

    It does seem like a waste to me to put Harden with just a ball handling PG when you could get more perimeter shooting on the floor. But you meed rim protection to stop faster smaller guards from penetrating to do that.
