That's why im saying lets wait though , what if Harden finishes the season averaging 23-25 ppg 5 assist and 5 rebounds? cuz with his style of play that's highly possible ..

BRoy numbers weren't to far off that at 23 i don't believe i don't remember him being a 20ppg guy that season i think he was at 18 or 19 ...but the rebounds and assist were there

we just gotta wait

B Roy was a rookie @ 23 years old

Brandon Roy is one of the nicest offensive players I've ever seen skill set wise.

Artest said he's the toughest person he had to defend including Kobe and James.

NothingButTheTruth

Brandon Roy was much better

Jdilla26

Healthy BRoy is just too nice but it still a tough choice though

Alpha Outlaw

Skill-wise?

I would like to say brandon Roy

Co-Town Michael

I'd take Harden, because I would be able to tell the future.
And I would know that B Roy has knees made out of peanut brittle.

tha bause

B-Roy no question. He was on the way to being the 2nd best SG in the league

SocialAssassinRati

a healthy BRoy was easily one of the best players in the league...a starting James Harden...well we'll have to wait and see

Alpha Outlaw

Both of them were/are candidates for 3rd best SG in the league though

Portland messed his career up

Healthy Roy shits on overrated Harden who has been shut down past two games.

Holla at me when Harden can lead a team to the playoffs.

Assuming I can't predict the future I'm taking B-roy when they are at the same point in their career.....

B roy seemed to have more heart, intangibles, leadership, etc....

Harden is a pure shooter AND scorer...AND has strength. Truly unique- only comparison i can think is a quicker, shorter Paul Pierce.

Good comparison , i always said that since Harden ASU days , he just jumps a little better also at the same young stage....... Harden game at ASU was damn near identical to Paul Pierce cuz Harden wasn't in shape like that yet and had no lift , he had that slow but deadly game

Harden really hasn't been in a position to display all that though. I think him and B Roy are on the same level as far as thats concerned but only time will tell...

Yea i remember him at ASU too-ol chunky ass ngga Lol I never thought he'd be a athletic player.

He also reminds me of Gilbert Arenas-not necessarily in playing style, but just that gym rat, 1000 ways to score type way.
