The Beard, arguably the MVP frontrunner tops our list on the best isolation scorers right now!
James Harden was always an isolation scorer, but this year his efficiency is just off the roof! He is scoring over 1.27 points per possession, that's just unheard of. He is leading the league in points per game in isolation and is scoring 85% more than the second most ppg (Lebron James and Chris Paul with 6.2ppg). That's just outright crazy what he is doing right now.
He can get to the rim, he is shooting extremely efficiently from threes despite shooting so much, can draw fouls almost at will(although get too many superstar calls too). Harden is just the complete package an isolation scorer should have. Let's hope Harden keeps rolling, the Rockets keep rolling and they give us one of the best West Conference Finals in years!
