More random stuff from the Orlando Summer League:

* The more you see and hear about Oklahoma City lottery pick James Harden, the more you think the guy has star written all over him. I know I keep bringing it up, and I know it's only the summer league, but I can't help but go back to something Eric Musselman wrote about Harden for PBN. Basically, the former NBA coach predicted that Harden will be a better pro than collegian.

* It's hard to argue with Musselman's logic -- as Harden really does have an NBA body and pro mindset. He's 6-foot-5, around 220 pounds, strong, athletic and skilled. It sounds basic, but there weren't many guys (if any) in this year's draft who offered such a complete package. There's a reason Thunder GM Sam Presti chose Harden with the No. 3 overall pick.

* Speaking of Presti, he's already proving to be among the league's best GMs. That's easy to forget because the Thunder's record was so bad. But just look at who Presti has drafted -- from Kevin Durant to Jeff Green to Russell Westbrook to Harden and B.J. Mullens this year. At worst, those are four quality young players, all of whom could be All-Stars someday.

* Yes, I know Presti didn't actually draft Green, so hold the e-mails. Instead, Presti maneuvered a draft day deal in 2007 that sent Ray Allen to Boston for the rights to Green. Trust me, in three years Presti will look like a genius for that one.

* Before the draft, skeptics contended that Harden needed to "dominate the ball" to be effective. Not so, Harden said. "I'm not trying to come out here and show my individual game; that's not the type of player I am," he told the Orlando Sentinel. "Seeing everybody else score makes me happy, especially when we're winning."

* Added Presti in the Sentinel, "That's one of the things about him that we felt like made him a good fit with our other guys. He's a facilitating player. He's somebody that we think really values his teammates."

* Even better, Harden has been the Thunder's most reliable scoring weapon this summer. He scored 15 points, passed for three assists and grabbed three rebounds in the Thunder's 83-62 win over New Jersey/Philadelphia on Day 4. And while 15 points may not seem like much, consider that he did it by making 5 of 8 shots.

* Mullens also had a nice game, starting at center and scoring 18 points on 9-of-12 shooting.

* For the Nets, rookie forward Terrence Williams finally had a strong showing after struggling early in the week. Williams played aggressively and made 6 of 13 shots for 14 points.

* Meanwhile, 76ers rookie point guard Jrue Holiday has done a decent job of running the team and distributing the ball. Problem is, he hasn't been able to shoot straight. On Day 4, he was just 3-of-8 from the field while matching up with the Thunder's Westbrook -- another UCLA guy.

* Rookie forward Derrick Brown (Xavier) was a monster for Utah, displaying athleticism near the basket and making 10 of 15 shots on his way to 25 points in the Jazz' 92-84 win over Orlando. Area of concern: Brown finished with 0 assists in 22 minutes.

* As for the Magic, Ryan Anderson continued to light it up with 26 points. It may be between Anderson and Harden for Orlando summer league MVP (although Westbrook has been pretty awesome, too). More importantly, Anderson's perimeter touch is making him look like more than just a throw-in in the Vince Carter trade. With the Magic losing four players from their Finals rotation (Hedo Turkoglu, Rafer Alston, Marcin Gortat and Courtney Lee), Anderson will be expected to contribute right away. If the summer is an indication, the man is ready.

* Indiana center Roy Hibbert has also been remarkable, dominating the paint and looking like a young Dikembe Mutombo (and even better offensively). Hibbert scored 28 points and pulled down nine boards in the Pacers' 91-88 win over Boston.

* Also, Tyler Hansbrough gave yet another strong showing with 22 points and five rebounds for the Pacers. It's clear he hasn't skipped a beat since college.

* The Celtics have the worst team in Orlando and that's OK. It just shows they'll be relying heavily on their veterans during the season. On Day 4, their leader was former Tennessee guard Chris Lofton, a hustler who could be a productive player in the D-League next year. Lofton made 6 of 10 shots on his way to a team-high 21 points.

* Finally, be sure to check PBN's roundup of the Las Vegas Summer League, which tips off today. Chris Tomasson is there and will be filing regular reports during the next week.
