Don’t Forget About James Harden
James Harden (photo. ASU)With everyone going nuts about Blake Griffin and Stephen Curry thus far this college season, the one name that’s taken a bit of a back seat is James Harden.
But tonight against UTEP, the southpaw sophomore went bananas, drilling 6-7 three-point tries to cap a 40-point night. This is the third occasion in which Harden’s gone over the 30-point mark in six games this season. And best of all, he’s done it at a bonkers clip, making 57% of his tries from the floor. Remember, he’s only 6-5.
If you haven’t seen him play, check out this video to get a feel for his game – from last year’s matchup with Florida in the NIT. You might do yourself a favor and turn the audio off so that you don’t have to hear one of ESPN’s finest say that Harden’s got a “high athletic rear end.”
Would you take Harden over Stephen Curry?

The real question says:
Does someone else think He’d be a great fit for the Cleveland Cavaliers? As a second unit guy in 2009, I believe James would be ready to start at Shooting Guard in 2010.
