in terms of bball IQ Harden is on another level altogether, and is much more refined in almost every aspect of the game - ball-handling, shooting, passing, play-making, defense, etc.
right now it's not close - i think if harden were on this team, and had the opportunities demar has, you'd see a 20/5/3 type of player. we'll see though, demar made a big jump from his first to second year, and i feel like he's got one more big jump in him. this will be a closer comparison after next season, whenever that is.
