Leave it to Shaq-Fu to dominate the headlines on a day when we should be celebrating two proud Sun Devils being taken in tonight’s 2009 NBA Draft.

Either way, we here at PFN will be closely monitoring where James Harden and Jeff Pendergraph go at tonight’s draft. Harden will even be one of the 15 guys nervously waiting in the green room at Madison Square Garden, so at some point, we’ll get to see that toothy grin of his while he holds up the jersey of his new employer.

We’ve heard all sorts of things over the last few days; none of them really worth speculating and investigating too deeply.

The one note to pass along though is from what I’ve been told, the Chicago Bulls are very, very high on JP and, since they don’t have a 2nd round pick, might be tempted to take Pendergraph as high as their second first-round pick at #26.

We’ll also keep you updated when other Pac-10 players get taken, and brace yourself, there probably will be a lot.
