The James Harden saga continues. This seems like the 76ers are simply going in circles with The Beard. Despite everything, a stroke of genius from Daryl Morey’s side is the signing of former Hornets guard Kelly Oubre Jr.

Oubre had a career-best season, averaging 20 points per game in 48 games, before becoming a free agent. Though he never got a chance to become a key player on a contender, he sure hopes to make his mark with the 76ers. Aside from that, there still seem to be some “Beard” fans out there, hoping Harden will continue in Philly.

It’s not even a debate when it comes to Harden’s skills as a player. His defense skills are amazing. But his offensive skills are elite.

What makes James Harden an elite offensive player

Harden is able to score, he’s able to do so efficiently and he involves his teammates while doing so. Those three things make him an elite offensive player. And not just in the league. In his two years with Houston, he has averaged 25.7 points on a .609 true shooting percentage, adding 6.0 assists while doing so.

According to Kirk Goldsberry, former VP for strategic research for the Spurs, Harden “is one of the smartest on-court players in the NBA … Between his Eurostep and his incredible ability to get fouled, Harden might be a referee’s nightmare, but he’s also one of the best scorers in the league.” His time with the Houstons definitely got him wide recognition.
