Capela for rebounding/lob threat, Gordon for 3/D/drives, Tucker for D/rebounding/hustle, CP for control/midrange, and Harden who can score from anywhere on the court.
Their bench is capable too... Rivers, Green, Faried (still think he can provide rebounding/hustle/energy)

Late reply but Harden disappeared when KD went down. He choked, to be short. Also Chris Paul gonna be 35 next year and has been washed for 3 years now. Guy will be the highest paid player on the team (39m, 30% of the cap space). They are literally stucked with the current roster. Unless they make a wild ass trade for like LeBron or something.
Harden's bread and butter is the stepback 3s karate kick the defender. Guess what, they aint calling that shit in the playoffs because all the refs are veterans. He is not getting those foul calls period unless it's obvious there are contacts. And sooner or later they will stop calling that weak shit altogether, just like every single other exploits before: Kobe's pump fake jumping into defender or KD's arm swipe.
