Harden at 36 though?
No defensive stat is perfect although Houston fans do feels that he's improved his defense. I suspect good offensive players help defense as well (you make a bucket: less chance the other team gets into transition for example). That being said I do not take this ranking seriously in terms of absolute value (i.e. RAPM says he's the 5th best versus another guys who is 10 best so the 5th best has to better) as the sample sizes are very small now. As a general indicator they're probably better then what we otherwise have available and Dudley is the only guy on the list who may be available IMO
