Greg Oden and Ohio State are playing Cincinatti right now on CBS. Let's get in on this!

People might be disappointed when the 2007 draft comes around. Oden is a different kind of kid. He has said dozens of times that he likes college and plans to be there for a while. How long is a while? I don't know. But I would not expect G.O. to come out before the 2008 NBA Draft. It's a little like Tim Duncan and Grant Hill. He is content to stay in school and improve his game.

He says that now, but the opportunity hasn't come along, yet. It could be different, and may be different. Experiencing the situation about his options could change a lot once he has the choice. He doesn't have that choice now, and didn't have one this past yr. He HAD to go to school, and we don't know if he would have opted not to go to the draft then, either.

Kevin Durant would be a nice consolation prize, looks like a very nice player. Looking at him makes it seem like Chris Bosh was a body builder when he was at G-Tech though.

Well, if he really feels that way about school, he will be even more determined than most to go back and get his degree after he declares for the draft.
Not only will he be turning away top pick $$$; he'll also be saying no to mega endorsement deals.
...And if he really wants to improve his game, the logical move would be to go to the NBA where he can polish his skills against better talent. He's already miles above the competition in college.

People seem deadset convinced that the sixers are on their way to a 1st or 2nd pick in this draft. I a sinking feeling that although that would obviously be optimal that they are going to manage to string a few streaks togather here and there by seasons end and screw up their majority stake in draftballs come lottery time. I see them getting the 4-6 pick if anything. Who are the major prospects found at that posistion?

I find it hard to believe this team will be too bad to be right there.
The bottom is going to be very crowded, but I don't see this team winning more than 18 games. So we should be right there. Have faith (or is it, have no faith? lol).
