James Harden’s teammate Corey Brewer was asked by ESPN’s SportsNation about Harden’s defense and lack thereof. Brewer didn’t run from the truth in his response.
“I think this year he’s going to play better defense. We’re going to let the past be in the past. It’s the future Rockets, man. James is going to play defense this year,”
It’s no denying that Harden has frequently struggled on defense throughout his career. For the Rockets to be taking serious their superstar has to be their superstar on both sides of the ball.
