DeVon Hardin, a second-round pick by the Oklahoma City Thunder in 2008, has joined the team’s NBA development league affiliate in Tulsa.
Hardin played overseas after being drafted 50th overall by the Thunder last year. He has yet to play in the NBA, but was included in a trade to the New Orleans Hornets last year that was later rescinded when Tyson Chandler failed a physical.

I really like what OKC is doing here. Bringing in guys and seeing how they work in the system. It’s why I get so excited at the possibility of loosening up the cap restrictions in the ‘11 CBA. Letting teams spend non-cap-hit money on projects, sending them down, keeping them from going overseas and seeing how they develop in the team’s system. It’s a long-term process and it may not work out. But it’s still a better investment than nabbing a guy and having him never play ever, ever. That’s that the Collins brothers are used to be for!
