I'd say slightly, and when I say slightly I mean like by a hair. I don't think he's all that great offensively, and his defense has kind of become overrated. He's still really good on that end, but he isn't lockdown like he was during his years in Philly.

Deron Williams isn't overrated he just is injury prone and when he misses time he gets fat.
 
We saw post all-star break last year what he's still capable of.
 
James Harden is really overrated.

Deron Williams is overrated because of those two things, but mostly because he doesn't play defense. He's had chances to be on relevant teams, but has never pushed them past the limit.
 
James is overrated because people think he's potentially the best 2 in the league (and at this point, this year, who's better?), but what he means to Houston is the difference between losing to a shit team like Dallas or bullying the San Antonio Spurs.

Deron Williams is a turnstile on defense even when he is healthy. People mention his post All-Star numbers, but fail to mention that he was just as much of a liability defensively as he was earlier in the season, if not more.

Harden is undoubtedly the best 2 in the game right now.

Only because Kobe isn't healthy. Wade hasn't been in the discussion for the last year or two because of health, but I personally think James should have to earn it instead of have it handed to him because of injuries.

James Harden!

Oh God praise the Lord! Most of his damn points come from free throws that he flopped to get /Refs obey him/. And he just simply doesn't play D, Will get an easy steal here or there. Its just wow he has a beard and can make threes TOP FIVE :D.

No

This, but he does technically earn most of his free throws. You attack, you get rewarded. He rarely shoots free throws when he tries to take jump shots.

Last year he led the league with 792 free throw attempts. Which he made 85% of them. All in all his free throws accounted for 40% of his overall total in points.

Considering he literally doesn't take mid range shots and either attacks or shoots 3s, it's not that absurd. Thats his game.
