When one looks at the stats Philadelphia 76ers star James Harden put up in the 2021-22 season just as a member of the Sixers, one will see 21 points, 10.5 assists and 7.1 rebounds. Those are some very good numbers that lead to good production both in real basketball and in fantasy basketball.
As Harden gets set to begin his first full season with the Sixers, he is near the top of the fantasy basketball rankings set by nba.com. They have The Beard ranked fifth in their early preseason rankings.
Nba.com on Harden:
Last season was a roller coaster on multiple levels for Harden, yet he still posted 22.0 points, 10.3 assists, 7.7 rebounds and 1.3 steals while ranking fifth in the NBA in made free throws.
Now that Harden has had a chance to rest his nagging hamstring as well as bond and grow chemistry with his new teammates, he is expected to have a much better season in Philadelphia. He has looked good in the Rico Hines runs out at UCLA so the hope is he can bring this to the 2022-23 season for the Sixers.
