Those games mean nothing though...and in the system Harden played in, it's no surprise.Originally Posted by Nowitness41Dirk

these kids don't go to class...**** here..there is no education for student athletes...all these arguments stem from jealousy about dudes who make money without any formal education..where as we bust our @%% for 4 years and we get stuck in middle class for the rest of our lives....hard pill to swallow
Where was he the three games of the season? He all but disappeared...Originally Posted by Bigmike23

Pac10 Tournament and NCAA Tournament games mean nothing now?OK... You the same dude that said he's the best basketball player you ever seen too, so...
Oklahoma City definitely seems like an ideal fit... Takes some of the pressure off Russ handling the basketball, and Harden would be at his bestplaying off everybody else and letting things come to him, I think...Originally Posted by Al3xis
truth to that.
which is why I think a secondary or even third role (on a good team) is one he can thrive in.
I think he's perfect for OKC, in terms of another shooter and ball handler. He reminds me of a guard version of Jeff anyway.

I think he's gonna be a good NBA player... But I don't think he's gonna be an all-star... I don't think he's gonna get a ton better from where he's at right now... Just don't see it...Those games mean nothing though...and in the system Harden played in, it's no surprise.
I know for sure you didn't follow the entire college basketball landscape enough to have a strong feel/opinion on all the players. I did though, and Blake, James and Tyreke are supreme to the rest of the class potential wise...
1) How would you know that?
2) We're talking about James Harden... It ain't like I had to go to dire lengths to follow the guy... Pac10 games were on FSN every single night...
For me, Blake Griffin is on a level all his own in this class... Nobody else is close... James is in that second tier, and he's absolutely a"safe" pick... There's not hardly any downside. You pretty well know what you're gonna get. Like I've said, I just wonder how much roomhe's really got left to grow as a player...
