Yeah, but Harden didn't really have the shooting ability of Harden in college either. It's something that can be improved. Both were really good at getting to the line in the NCAA and contributed in several other areas which is why I think they were statistical comparables.

Actually, his stats are pretty damn close to Derrick Rose. He's obviously not as quick as Rose, but I think he will be very good in the pros. He's flopping too much, but I ****ing love how Smart plays the game otherwise.

Here's Rose's stats:

Yes, I think I like that comparison better.
