There had been talk that the Thunder would take 18-year old point guard Ricky Rubio, but they surprised the pundits by taking 6-5 guard James Harden out of Arizona State.
Harden averaged 20.1 points and 4.2 assists last season as sophomore. The AP All American is a lefty shooter and not the fastest guy in the world ... but he is wearing a sweet bowtie.

He is an efficient offensive player and his game is NBA ready. Ah crap, I'm already falling behind. I didn't see this one coming, I was banking on Tyreke Evans here. Regardless Harden isn't that much of a surprise. He doesn...
