No surprises, Greg Oden goes #1. I am on record, by the way, in suggesting that Kevin Durant will be the better player. Yes, I went to Texas, I admit my bias. But no one in the NBA would ever pass on a legit center, no matter how good the guy after him is. Remember, Houston took Akeem Olajuwon over Michael Jordan, and it would happen again this year if they were in it. I think Oden will be great, but Durant will surpass him in my opinion.
Still, congrats to Portland, who has their Duncan and Robinson tandem ready to dominate the league for the next decade with Oden and LaMarcus Aldridge.
By the way. Greg Oden sounds exactly like former Georgetown coach John Thompson. No surprise, since they are roughly the same age (sorry, I had to make one joke about his age).
