Greg Oden is one of the most talked about and highly-touted players in the NCAA right now and he is a freshman. Many people have believed that he would make the jump to the NBA next year entering the draft. There is little doubt that he would be a high lottery pick but maybe he's not ready for the NBA yet and by his own admission. Here's an excerpt from a post on the NCAA Fanhouse blog today.
There may be just one person on earth who thinks Greg Oden is not ready to be the first pick in the draft and contribute to an NBA team in eight months. However, that one person is Greg Oden. Oden told Steve Hummer of Cox News Service:
"I know I'm not [NBA] ready," he said. "Take as an example Kevin Durant, a certified scorer. In the NBA nowadays, that's what they are - scorers. I know you have a Ben Wallace who is a defender, but more than 90 percent of the guys are scorers. I know I'm not that type of scorer yet. I know I'm a defender. I knew college would help me with my offensive game."
