TVGuide.com: A handful of analysts speculate that Kevin Durant could be the top pick, but is there really any doubt that Greg Oden will go first?
Jay Bilas:
Not to me. I think the only reason you would take Durant is if you think he's going to be Jordanesque in his ability, the type of player you can build around and win championships. [Or] if you believe the game is headed to more of a perimeter game, and because of that you can move around a center more than you used to with the pick-and-roll.... Then I can understand [taking Durant first]. It's not an unreasonable position to take. I just feel like Oden is the real thing. He's the type of talent and player that comes around in the draft only so often. I think he's going to win in [the NBA] and win big. The hardest [players] to get in the NBA draft are 5s and 1s — a point guard or a center, and he's a center prospect who wants to play in the post. Oden is the best center to come out of college since [Patrick] Ewing.
