Harden is Set for Blast Off

All it took was one game with the Rockets for Harden to cement himself as a legit fantasy superstar. Just look at his line from his Houston debut Wednesday against the Pistons: 37 points (14-of-25 FG, 4-of-10 3Pt, 5-of-6 FT), 12 assists, six rebounds, four steals, and one block in 44 minutes.

Imagine what he'll do after he actually has time to practice with his new teammates.

Now, of course, everyone knows that Harden won't be able to post numbers like that on a regular basis, but he should immediately be considered a top-10 fantasy option, if not top-5. If I redrafted today, I would grab him at the No. 3 overall pick without hesitation.
