"he could be a potential great fit as a 6th man Jason Terry in Dallas, Jamal Crawford type of guy on a great team."

that's not harden. or, that was, except harden was clearly way better than them, which is why he didn't stay in that role.

also, harden shot less, took more 3s (and made more of them) while also getting to the FT line more, rebounding more (assisting less, but that's not his role), and had a TS% of .551 compared to .492 for Waiters, which explains his being 10 points better in terms of O-rating, having a ws/48 of .126 instead of .026, and was getting a lot of hate as a potential bust on this board (don't think basa's forgotten that either. lol). he didn't, but you really want to bank on Dion Waiters being James Harden 2.0? (don't forget how different their college careers were too).

i mean, damn. you really want to claim that?

edit: here's the list since 2000 of rookies <6'6 who shot <.420 on fgs. the only good ones outside of Harden are PGs. you know, like Lilliard, but not like Waiters
