Not hating on him Im just pointing out he is a very inefficient player. If the 3 ball is the case then he should probably take 4-5 less per game and mix in some more quality possessions. Ive watched Harden play enough to know of the 21 shots he takes per game, about 6 of them are complete low percentage heaves. Usually on a 3 point shot.
I think you still don't understand the concept of efficiency.
If a player A takes 10 two pointers and hits them at 50%, then he's made 5 two pointers. He produced 10 points in total.
If a player B takes 10 three pointers and this them at 40%, then he's made 4 three pointers. He produced 12 points in total.
Player B has lower FG%, but produced more points with the same amount of shot attempts.
This is why nobody says DeAndre Jordan (who regularly averages 60+ FG%) is more efficient than Curry.
I understand that and that would def. be the case if Harden ranked in the top 10 perimeter players in FG% of 30+mpg players. But he doesnt, Hes not even in the top 40 of non centers in FG% that play over 30mins a game.
Of the qualified players on BBRef, he's #16 in the league in TS%, third for guards, and second for guards playing > 30 MPG.
