According to Devon Booker....Devon Booker.
Poor Klay. I don't think Harden is better than Book anymore. It still means something to routinely beat your man off the dribble.

I thought Booker would win this, but I'm curios to see by how much if we get more votes...

Interesting timing on the thread. A bit early to be cracking on Harden. Booker had three really nice games, and then a stinker. Harden continues to be dramatically superior on-ball and as a playmaker. Booker, of course, is posting something like 64% TS right now, but he's also shooting 41.4% from 3, which would represent a career-high by 3.1%, so I'm somewhat skeptical about his ability to maintain that over the whole season. He's also shooting a career-best 57.7% from beneath the arc, +3.3% over his previous best. He is also shooting an impossible-to-maintain 64.7% from 10-16 feet on 17.5% of his total shooting volume, which will definitely dwindle.
Give it to 20 games and revisit this conversation and it's quite possible there's a very different tone to this discussion.
