James Harden has a positive start with the Brooklyn Nets and Steve Nash did not hold back on his praise, when he was asked about his star’s fit with the rest of the team.

Nash said Harden’s fit has largely “been great” since the Nets acquired him from the Houston Rockets in a multi-team trade.

He called him an incredible player and praised him for his willingness to sacrifice, playing alongside Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving, as reported by Mark Medina.

The eight-time All-Star averages 24.3 points, 11.8 assists, 7.8 rebounds and 1.1 steals per game since he joined Brooklyn while shooting 48.4 percent from the field and 40.0 percent from three.

The Nets are extremely good on the offensive end, but they are pretty lacking in defense, where they ranked 29th in Defrtg conceding 118.8 per 100 possessions in the last eight games.
