As for if Harden left his numbers would go up...well of course they would go up because he would get a whole lot more shots. BUT would he be more efficent or a better player? I doubt that he can find a team/role that suits him better than the one he is on.
And Al Jefferson can score from anywhere inside the FT line. Most underrated player in the NBA. I was watching some meaningless game this Winter against Devver I think and he was just unstppable. I mean it was a highlight show. Faced up like Amare, Bank shots like Duncan, Jump hooks, spin moves...
I really like Harden despite his poor choice of educational institutions but I can't possibly think of a better situation for him than the team he is on now.
