Should I drop James Harden for Reggie Williams?

[76ciology]

Yes, James Harden is definitely the better player between the two. But Reggie Williams ought to have more playing time and opportunities playing with the GSW.

Should I drop the struggling James Harden, who is buried in the bench because of Thabo's good chemistry with the starting unit, over Reggie Williams?

There's been a belief among many Thunder fans that Harden would get more minutes and possibly even nudge Thabo out of the starting lineup, but that's very unlikely in the near future, especially given the team's poor defense so far this season. They haven't played with the same defensive focus that they did a year ago, so I can't see Thabo getting phased out given that alarming trend. I expect Harden to get no more than 20-25 minutes a game this season, and to be frustratingly inconsistent in those minutes. I can't speak so much on Williams, but that's some Harden analysis from a Thunder fan's perspective.

Harden and Reggie are in the same boat, minute wise. If Dorrel Wright had faltered out of the gate, Reggie would have taken off. When he plays he lights it up, but he's stuck behind Curry, Monta and Wright so there ain't much more then 24 minutes a game for him. If he starts pushing 30 consistently though, watch out. I'd hold Harden for now.

Isn't Reggie Williams the poor man's Jeff Harden? Anyway, Reggie Williams is definitely playing better right now. But I would still have to say that Harden is the better plan. Skill wise, length wise and athletic wise. He's just in a bad position right now with the OKC. His limited minutes makes him struggle to get his rhythm going.

You could argue that Williams has out-performed Harden at every level.

I'm not sure why so many people were drafting Harden before the 12th round :-/... He's a dime a dozen waiver wire player for the foreseeable future.

If Thabo gets hurt then okay, Harden has value but until then he's just not worth hanging on to...

Tamar Slay! Now there is a memory. Yet another in a long line of nba washouts who had his moment of glory vs my Golden State Warriors.

Right now Reggie Williams, late on Harden if his minutes ever increase.

In the meantime neither of them are too worthy of a roster spot in most leagues.
