    Harden was a 5 star recruit so he was thought of pretty highly out of high school. Reading his old scouting report is interesting because some of it is still true.

    This season he is doing better on defense. He still always goes left. He can finish in traffic. He has a pretty good shot. He has insane court vision.

    I was expecting to read one of his essays on a Boy Scout adventure he had as a freshman or something like that. I am disappoint!

    I remember watching him in college vividly. I thought he played like an old man. He moved at a super slow pace - which is rare to see from a college player because as a guard it means the game is moving slow for you. Usually college guards are out of control, even when they're good.

    He'd out-muscle other players in the paint with old man strength and a big booty. Fun to watch back then, but not as fun as my fav Pac-10 guy around that time, Aaron Brooks.

    Anybody have Scott Brooks e-mail?

    He may need to read this at halftime.
