James Harden Is In The Process Of Recruiting Stars To Join Him In Houston (Audio)

Dec 06, 2012 04:29 PM EST

Houston Rockets guard James Harden has unquestionably become the star player in Houston since being traded by the Oklahoma City Thunder, but he's not weary of sharing the spotlight with other stars in the future.

The reigning Sixth Man of the Year has been averaging 23.6 points with the Rockets since being traded. In his first three games in the Rockets uniform, Harden led the league in points with 35.3 and was shooting well over 50 percent from the floor, solidifying his place as one of the league's premier scorers.

Harden recently joined KGOW in Houston with Clanton and Wessling to discuss his adjustment to becoming an everyday starter and recruiting free agents to come to Houston.

When asked how he's settled in with the team, Harden had this to say:

"I think our chemistry is definitely building every single day between the practices and the games, so I think a few more weeks and we'll be together on the same page a lot of times, but it's going pretty well."

Harden was also asked if he's begun to recruit other stars to join him in Houston and what are the possibilities it will happen.

"Of course. I've been starting that recruiting process. One player is not going to win a championship. Nowadays you need two or maybe more. I've definitely started the recruiting process. We need more guys to come over here, so we can win. For right now we are going to stick with the players we have and try to run with that."
