Eric Karabell explains whether you should still expect James Harden to be one of fantasy's best this season as he joins a Clippers team full of stars.
Only 12 players averaged more per game, and that list includes the best players in the sport. Harden didn't just lead the league in assists per game at 10.7. He scored, rebounded, hit 3-pointers and myriad free throws at the highest level. He was a winning fantasy basketball player for sure.
Fantasy basketball managers probably weren't so pleased that Harden missed the first week of this season, but get ready and think bigger picture, because here comes the good stuff. The currentMany view Harden as a declining player. OK, but he still outscored, on a per-game basis for fantasy last season, young PGs
They are wildly athletic and creative, and the Clippers finally boasts a playmaking point guard that can distribute and shoot, properly direct an offense in multiple ways. George and Leonard enter Wednesday's game with the rival Lakers averaging a combined 46.6 PPG and 9.3 APG. Those numbers may drop a bit now, mainly in assists, but not enough to worry a fantasy manager.
Harden joins a team of stars, and their usage will drop, but hey, he's the best fantasy option among them, and easily so.
