Based on the highlights I've seen Harden is crafty around the basket. I'd like my top 5 pick to be overpowering.

I'm far from an expert on him, but the little I've seen of Harden he reminds me more of a smaller Pierce than anything else, which is both good and bad. That kind of game is probably more effective when you're a SF than when you're a SG.
On the other side of things, Harden's combine stats actually look better than his rep would suggest. 6'5" in shoes, long arms, 37 inch vertical...
