Harden's court-awareness is one of the most underrated things going in the current NBA. Yeah, he tries to go Magic Johnson here and there; but the guy knows where everyone is and finds so many open players.

Hell, he creates open players.

And he is the man when it comes to the touchdown pass in the NBA (but I hope that we don't see many of those).

I've said it many times during this past season when it comes to free throws.

Some argue that a shot attempt shouldn't count on a foul because the player is going for the foul.

Harden mucks that argument up because so many of those supposed attempts to draw fouls either go in, or come damned close to going in.

How does the rest of the league view Capela? I have to think that he's kind of underrated.

I'm not suggesting that he's currently a top Big Man or anything; but the dude seems to fly under the radar. Is it because he is just in a system where he fits like a glove?
