    Default Hello Thunder Fans, How Is Your GM's First Mistake?

    He has been 'solid' in everything he's done up till now. That was a poor pick.

    Thunder fans definitely unhappy here in Oklahoma. Most wanted Rubio...

    In a bad draft you swing for the fences. Its a bad draft right? What slot would Harden go in last year's draft? Weak drafts are absolutely the time to take project players with huge upsides.

    You know the future or something? Same thing was said last year but Westbrook proved those doubters wrong. Harden will do the same thing, Harden is a great basketball player.

    Rubio would have been better overall, but Harden seems like a perfect fit for the team. I still think Rubio has a good chance at being the best player in the draft, and in hindsight people will probably say "well, why didn't they just trade away Westbrook", but I can't blame them. Sacramento's the only team to mess up so far, since Rubio is a perfect fit for their team. Minnesota probably picked Flynn too high, too, but he's going to be traded anyways, so whatever.

    Harden is a guy who looks like he will finish top 3 in ROY voting. Hes a future All-Star in the NBA, let the haters hate.

    Seriously, you're upset about getting James Harden? Try taking Tyler Hansbrough.

    I don't think that Rubio would have wanted to play there. That's probably what happened.

    Agreed Harden is the 2nd best player in the draft,he's a stud,and probably will be the 2nd best player on that Thunder team a future All-star and parenial 20ppg scorer,he reminds of a letfhanded Mitch Richmond,and while Jordan was around he was the 2nd best 2-guard in the league in those days.

    James Harden will always be the most underrated player. Even when he averages 20+ PPG.

    James Harden is going to be really good, I don't know how this can be seen as a mistake.

    As for the OKC pick, as mentioned already, people (myself included) bagged on the Westbrook pick and he was one of the best rookies last season.

    As for the Hansbrough pick, I like it. I think it's a good pick for Indy. Tyler will be a good player for you guys.
