The Beard has arrived.
He has become the Houston Rockets all-time leader in triple-doubles. He is leading the NBA in assists. He seems to score at will when he wants to, yet somehow manages to get everyone else involved at the same time.
Turnovers are a concern for many, but some just see it as going hand-in-hand with his high usage rate.
He is actually playing fewer minutes than the last few seasons, and he gets regular rest in each game.
What is your midterm grade for James Harden? How can he improve? What is his ceiling?

Re: Midterm Grade: James Harden
His shot selection still needs work at times. Would also be nice if he can limit his TOs despite the high usage and pace. There's always something you can improve on.

Well on his way to a second MVP!


We watched the tragedy unfold. We did as we were told, we bought and sold. It was the greatest show on Earth...but then it was over.
