Greg Oden Officially The #1 Pick

Just reported on sportscenter

Kevin Durant will go #2. You heard it here first.

 

[tidwell]

Shocking.

You have to be impressed with the Blazers marketing team there, for a while. After the lottery happened, everybody said Oden, no brainer. Then everybody said "Probably Oden, but maybe Durrant?"

My guess: Oden's shoddy workout and Durrant killing it was staged.

That dude looks like he's 35.

 

[milohimself]

Tony Kornheiser always referred to him as "40 year-old college freshman Greg Oden..."

 

[tidwell]

I always liked when they called him Wise from The LeBrons.

In other breaking news, the sun will rise in the east today.

 

[vols kick balls]

Seattle has the easiest #2 pick ever.

That dude looks like he's 35.

As someone who is 35, I am highly offended.

durant is already a special player, but give him 5 to 10 years, wow he will be unbelieveable. i loved watching him play

he's actually good enough to make me watch the NBA some

 

[tidwell]

I'm looking more forward to seeing where all the guys from 3rd on back end up. Quite a bit of talent up for grabs behind the obvious top two.

Anyone know off the top of their head how much time there is between picks in the NBA draft?

 

[allvol123]

Oden and Durant both seem to be really personable guys and should help the NBA.

[BigPapaVol]

that would be considered personable

 

[milohimself]

Well-done, Greg.

I'ma have to party with this guy once he gets back here to Portland.
