Patrick Beverley can be the ideal fit next to James Harden, if he's healthy

Since joining the Rockets in the 2012-2013 season, Patrick Beverley has quickly become a fan favorite as a result of his tenacious defense and feisty personality. From being an unknown player challenging Russell Westbrook in the 2013 playoffs to obliterating Jrue Holiday in a preseason game, Beverley's attitude and personality hasn't changed as his fame has grown.

However, what has changed (and progressed) over time has been his play on the court. Beverley's three-point shooting and playmaking abilities have improved, so much so that he has finally grown in to the perfect complement to James Harden in the Rockets backcourt.
