Former Devil Harden making noise with Thunder

Former Sun Devil star James Harden is making his presence felt as a rookie with the NBA's Oklahoma City Thunder.

Harden has averaged nearly 10 points a game as the Thunder's first guard off the bench. He has been a playmaking wing who has been the team's best 3-point shooter. More important to Harden, he has become a better defender after making the transition from ASU's matchup zone defense.
