Harden doesn't have the frame of a Greek statue, or the vertical leap of a comic-book hero, or form on his jump shot that would make Larry Bird jealous. He doesn't do any one thing with jaw-dropping, must-see-on-SportsCenter flair.
But he does everything well.
Harden is considered one of the most NBA-ready players in the draft... a highly skilled shooting guard with decent size (6'5", 222), great vision, an extensive variety of dribble-drive moves and a respectable, if not lights-out, jumper. He won't stand out with his athleticism at the next level, but he's quick enough.
NBA Player Comparison: It was clear that Harden's draft stock was on the rise when observers started throwing around names like "Brandon Roy" and "Manu Ginobili."
