No one has seen that asik bc harden made asik the player he was. Harden makes his teammates better. Davis doesn't.

Harden did nothing to make Asik better. No one can make him better. his only job is to play defense and hustle. he doesn't do that anymore b/c he's full of fettuccini alfredo.

AD can't make these losers hit the open 3's he gives them every game b/c he's tripled team constantly.
As I've pointed out to you twice now, Harden's team mates, despite not being high profile players all the time, hit their open 3's that Harden creates at a very high percentage. Davis' teammates airball and brick open 3's regularly.

This year:
Wide open three's (6+ft)
Rockets 42.9% at 14pg
Pelicans 36.9% at 11pg
Thunder 34.7% at 12pg

Open 3's (4-6ft)
Rockets 35.6% at 15pg
Pelicans 29.4% at 11pg (good for 3rd to last)
Thunder 34.1% at 10pg

When you look at shooting with someone with 4 ft from you, the Pelicans take the least amount of 3's in the NBA, while the Rockets take the most.
