positional designations for guards in D'Antoni's Houston system doesn't really matter, Paul+James were equally comfortable bringing the ball up and initiating the iso / pick & roll offense. but point was more Russ isn't the hog he was during his solo years, George averaged more shots, more free throws, more points. fully expect Russ to go be good with Harden as the #1 option. but don't know how much value he has left as the #2 if he's not behind a Durant.
