Philadelphia 76ers guard James Harden also talked about Arenas during an interview:

"I (saw) Alijah this summer, and he just kind of reminded me of myself in the sense of just playing against pros as a junior in high school, and that's how you get better," Harden said. "You learn the physicality; you learn the skill set and what you've got to get to."

Alijah Arenas still has one more year of high school before he decides on his collegiate career.
