Harden is completely carrying that team. It's pretty amazing what he's done.

I somwhat agree, even though he might be the worst defender in the league. His Manu style wears on me sometimes, but I shouldn't complain. I don't think his surrounding cast is as bad as you're implying. The core of this team all have 15+, which is fine in this league. Having all 5 starters plus a role player or two at 15+ isn't terrible. Jones didn't qualify but had over 16. They do commit a lot of turnovers, which is something they definitely need to improve on.
But yeah, generally you want to have a second guy hovering around the 20 range.
