Updated Team USA Leaders

[Le Shaqtus]

Than that just means Dwight > Davis if that's the case

I would have Davis over Howard just based on Potential, age, and he's already very good despite how young he is, those guard skills he had when he was younger have been super helpful to him as a big.

Harden>>>

Not one single PG better than Dragic.

[UK2K]

Not one single PG better than Dragic.

None of our PG's play nearly as much as Dargic, nor are they relied on the same as almost every player on Team USA has an advantage over whoever their opponent may be.

Kyrie has done a fine job. Curry has his shooting woes but he's been a spot up shooter most games, and in that regard, hes been everything you would want.

[Smook A.]

Offensively Cousins shits on Howard

He doesn't shit on him. You're acting like he scores 50 every time he plays Dwight.

Look at their 4 matchups from the 2013-14 season

1st - DeMarcus: 21 pts/Dwight: 13 pts
2nd - DeMarcus 17 pts/Dwight: 15 pts
3rd - DeMarcus: 2 pts/Dwight: 26 pts
4th - DeMarcus: 16 pts/Dwight: 20 points

That's not being shat on.

[Smook A.]

Howard can't even post up

His post game was looking much more smooth after the all-star break and the postseason.

[Inferno]

Steph's gotta up that FG%

[Smook A.]

Starting lineup should be curry klay faried davis drummond

They r too disjointed on offense with two pgs out there. Wasting curry by having him trying to play a sg role. He is by far the best assist guy. P and r with davis with klay in the corner. Thats unstoppable.

2Nd string should irving, rose, derozan, plum and cuz.

Lol no Harden? He's been the 3rd best player for the team thus far.

He doesnt like Harden so Harden should come off the bench, because, it makes a lot of sense to have your third leading scorer and leading assister to play Plumlee minutes.

[Milbuck]

Biggest disappointments so far have been Rose, Curry, and Harden by far. Curry could heat up any time now, and Rose is at least great on defense..Harden has been...Harden.

Other than the defense, everything else Harden has done so far has been good. Don't know what you're complaining about.

Just wanting to throw Harden in there, even though from a numbers stand point, he's been excellent.

And his defense... well

[QUOTE]His effort on defense, widely criticized after the release of a YouTube video that went viral in April, has also been impressive. A subject of praise from Krzyzewski, Harden

Not to mention his leadership



Leads the team in assists, steals, +/-, and is third in scoring shooting 57%. There's not much you can complain about with the way hes played. Milbuck wont back it up with any evidence, just say 'hes bad'. Typical.

Some people always look at the negatives. Harden has been great for Team USA so far. 12.6 pts/4.4 apg//2.2 rpg/2.6 spg on 58% shooting

He's #1 on the team in assists, steals, and he's 3rd in efficiency. Can't believe some people on here are saying he's been bad, lol.

Its not some people, its just Milbuck.

Harden could save an apartment full of people from a fire and Milbuck would argue that he didnt put out the fire while he was at it.
