Harden is good enough that you have to respect him enough to come up on him which is what opens up his biggest strength which is of course eurostepping his way to the basket and swinging his arms up and through defenders arms for fouls.
― Spottie, Monday, 25 November 2013 04:22 (ten years ago) link
anecdotally I think harden would be a better 3 point shooter if he was taking open spot up 3's--but, and I could be wrong, it seems like a significant portion of his 3 pointers are a higher degree of difficulty (ie, raising up over a defender or 2-3 feet back from the line).

would be interesting to see what the numbers are on pure spot up vs. pull up. He seemingly got a lot of wide open spot up looks in OKC and didn't do particularly well in general.

those numbers exist somewhere too, probably also synergy. guys like lowe cite them all the time. i feel like it's not too long until those kinds of stats are more widely available
― k3vin k., Monday, 25 November 2013 05:39 (ten years ago) link
to me spotting up should only count if there is no dribble at all, and I don't 100% trust synergy on that. they do have spot up numbers tho.
― Matt Armstrong, Monday, 25 November 2013 05:53 (ten years ago) link
I wish synergy was easier to navigate with players. Team numbers are much better.
― Matt Armstrong, Monday, 25 November 2013 05:54 (ten years ago) link
do you have synergy? tell us the #s!
― k3vin k., Monday, 25 November 2013 05:55 (ten years ago) link
well I'm still trying to figure out how to search previous seasons, but in this season basically all his 3 point shooting is the same. Spotups and Pick and rolls both 33.3%
― Matt Armstrong, Monday, 25 November 2013 06:24 (ten years ago) link
ok last year he was very good in P&R and spot up at 39.5% each, but dreadful in isos at 31%. So I guess he just needs to stop being an idiot and taking dumb 3s.
Strangely enough in OKC he was actually pretty good at iso 3s.
