James Harden and his ceiling

James has no ceiling . The game will continue to slow down for him . As someone else mentioned , he can improve by keeping all of his skills sharp and being ready to exploit whatever holes he sees . As great as he is , he hasn't quite learned how to be a true killer in that he takes his foot off the gas.

If he can improve his conditioning and cardio , I would tell him to do that even if it meant giving up some muscle mass . Another thing he can work on is improved focus . An in the zone harden has an argument for the best player in the NBA . An out of the zone harden might be top 10-15 . Frankly , his skills are so good , he can get by playing relaxed most of the time .

I look forward to seeing what James brings this year . I think he will have surprises in store for us and look even better .
