Harden easily.

1. Less health concerns
2. Better shooter
3. Better rebounder
4. Better defender
5. Bigger

Harden because of Gordon's health issues, but Gordon has never had near the talent level around him as Harden to take pressure off of him. But if Gordon stays healthy, these are the two best SGs in the NBA two or three years from now. Wade, Ginobli, and Kobe are getting up there in years.

it's hard to compare. gordon is never healthy, and harden comes off the bench for a team playing in the finals right now

Evan Turner and Avery Bradley will have something to say about that

so you think Bradley will be in the conversation for best 2 guard in the league? Nice player, but no way.

I'd honestly take Gordon except for the injury factor. He's a better player - considerably higher upside IMO because he can take games over with his creativity and finishing. Harden can spot up shoot and catch fire but I don't think he's as much of a penetrator/finisher as Gordon.

Maybe you people missed the end of the regular season or something. There is no reason to think he won't be star in Boston as he continues to get big minutes

Harden's been at the rim constantly this postseason, especially when Westbrook isn't in the game.

15ppg, 2.6rpg, 1.6apg screams star...

He'll be a very good role player, never considered for the best SG in the league

In his first time being a consistent starter he gave you 15 points with a .533 FG% and 488 3% along with ELITE on ball defense. No reason to think he won't be a star in Boston playing with Rondo.

Great numbers, but teams weren't gearing up to stop Avery Bradely. Now if he can consistently do that when better defenders are guarding him then we can rehash this, but for now he's a flash in the pan wing player that made the most of his time as a starter. Calling him an up and coming SG is a little premature.

Isn't that what everybody is when they first become a starter? No reason to think that as long as he's in Boston playing with Rondo he won't be a star in a couple of years.

That's why I said it's premature. You're trying to put Bradely in the same category with proven players like Harden and Gordon based off of 15 games as a starter. Should we put Gerald Green up there as well because he put up pretty good numbers for the Nets towards the end of the season? It's just too early to make a statement about Bradley being a top SG in a few years.
