Harden is playing like what he was billed as coming out of college . People thought he could be a great PG for a reason . He ' s clearly motivated and is clearly the best player in the league from a purely statistical standpoint . He ' s also not a complete turnstile on defense for once . Color me shocked D ' Antoni was the guy to get to him . That said , he ' s surrounded by Beverly , Anderson , Ariza , Gordon and Capella . The first four can all hit the open three consistently and Capella is an oop monster . Harden couldn ' t be in a better spot to rack up assists with his ability to penetrate and draw help defense . Westbrook ' s best offensive teammate has been Andre Roberson . Dipo was a complete brick machine before three games ago and Adams has been great but he ' s still not an offensive weapon . His situation is way more challenging than Harden ' s .
