Trail Blazers' Drumroll

by user Romiezzo

The number one draft pick is going to be... Greg Oden. First off, congratulations to both basketball players, Oden, and Kevin Durant, but according to ESPN Magazine's Ric Bucher, it had been reported that Oden tested better at predraft camp.

Dominant big men are usually impossible to pass up, like said in many other posts that we've had in the past, and Oden definitely has the capability and the potential to lead the Trail Blazers to many wins and hopefully a better chance at the playoffs. He has been compared to Bill Russell several times for his rebounding and shot blocking, and he led Ohio State to the national championship game even while never at full strength after surgery on his right wrist.

"You can see why he'd be a No. 1 pick," Durant told reporters. "I think he's one of the best centers to come out of college. He's quick and agile, he's 7-feet, 250. I've never seen that in a center before."

Players like Durant don't come around often, either. The swingman from Texas was the college player of the year after averaging 25.8 points and 11.1 rebounds, ranking fourth nationally in both categories. And if he indeed falls to Seattle at No. 2, he'd make a terrific consolation prize.

"Without question, Kevin Durant's the most talented player in this draft," Texas A&M point guard Acie Law said. "But if I'm building a franchise, as most teams at the top of the draft are, you can't pass up a guy you can just build your team around. Because there's guys in the league that can score 20, 25 a game, like Kevin Durant can, but you're not going to find a 7-foot manchild that can just patrol your line for 10, 12 years."
