NBA Position Rankings: Evan Fournier and the Shooting Guards
By Jason Renaud
1) James Harden, Houston Rockets
Fear the beard.
Since James Harden has been a Houston Rocket, he has led the shooting guard position in scoring the past four seasons averaging at least 25 points per game. Last season, he had career highs in points per game (29), assists (7.5) and rebounds (6.1).
Harden as a Rocket has made the All-Star team the last four seasons. With Dwight Howard not on the team anymore, Houston is now completely the James Harden show.
Offense has never been an issue for Harden, it is his defense that is subpar to say the least. If he can improve on that side of the ball, then Harden could become unstoppable at the shooting guard position.
