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.
Who was playing inside for Denver? Jefferson has his moments, but he has done nothing but lose since he has been in the NBA. The Jazz aren't any good. He is a decent enough player of course, but top 15, I don't see it. He is an above average offensive player. Unfortunately, that doesn't translate to wins by itself.

Man it was a few months ago at midnight, I cant even remember if it was Denver but there are few big guys in the NBA would could score almost at will like that.

I can't understand how people buy into how the wins of a players team measures a players ability? The guy was drafted out of high school by a declining, pre big 3 Celtics team, was the center piece in a trade for KG to the T wolves and then traded for two number 1 picks to a Utah team in flux. If he gets traded to a good team and makes them go south then I will agree. Until then it is just another way of using team numbers to unfairly boost or degrade a players ability
