Brooklyn Nets star Kevin Durant talks about James Harden’s contribution on defense.
“Coming in with James his rookie year, we asked him to guard guys, the best players off the bench, so he knows exactly what he needs to do on the defensive side of the ball. When he go to Houston, he had to control the offense so much that it’s compromising on who you want to guard and what type of defense you want to play, but he’s always been good at getting steals and playing post defense, using his strength, so he’s an all-around defender. If we ask him to guard somebody, he can go out there and do his job. I think that’s the underrated part of his game”
Harden has produced 28.1 points, 8.2 rebounds, 12 assist and 1.1 steals in the first 9 games played with the Brooklyn Nets.
