Right now, even with DeMar's improvement last year there's still a pretty big gap between them. Neither is a great defender, but Harden is terrible while DeMar is at least solid so DD wins out there. But Harden is simply a better offensive player at this point. Better at setting up his teammates (although his decision making is terrible sometimes, especially in the playoffs), better shooter, better at drawing fouls, much more efficient scoring the ball, etc.
BUT... is it possible for DeRozan to pass him despite the gap? What are people's thoughts?
