This guy said Harden is elite at anything on defense :rofl:
as a former harden fanboy i can say his defense can be elite... when he decides to play it
the biggest frustration with harden on the defensive end was his effort, which when he was the rockets entire offense you can't expect him to play the whole night; but too many times he'd take a half assed swipe at the ball then wait outside the 3 point line for someone else to cover his man
as DM has said, when engaged, harden is an elite post defender, often times taking on the opposing 5; the problem is he randomly checks in and then checks back out without warning
honestly, in his offensive prime, i'd rather him have just never play defense and let the rest of his teammates play a 4 man zone to save his energy for scoring
