Re: Draft Watch: Oden
Oden showed tonight why he's the top NBA prospect. Durant is an incredible scorer, but Oden's defense and strength are amazing and he's already got some good-looking post moves... and he's got good form on his free throws (which indicates to me that he's potentially at least a decent shooter from the field on jumpers).
I have had Oden ahead of Durant on my personal draft board all year, and the OSU loss just reinforces that Oden deserves to be there.
He also deserves, of course, to be starting for the Blazers next season.
