Yes, but if they take the Knicks pick, I think they lose their own.

I realize this, but they're allowed to do that after the lottery, I think, and besides, the Knicks will have a MUCH higher draft pick, since the Bulls are in the playoffs and the Knicks are in the lottery, so why wouldn't they take it?

I am just reporting what I was told straight from Oden's mouth that they all will be in Indy by next week training for the draft instead of attending classes...Apparently BestBuck36 either knows everything or is trying to pretend the situation is not goin on to make him feel better...

I am curious as to what training Greg would need to do for the draft -- it's not like he is going to any of the pre-draft camps or anything. Greg will continue to go to school regardless and plans to get his degree.

Oden is a great kid who will do great things in the NBA, best of luck and I for one will most likely become a fan of the team that drafts him......hopefully it will be Boston. :biggrin:

What he has done for Ohio State and the BB program goes beyond just on the court.......he will be missed.

Oden could be a star or could be average.

His team could become dominant or struggle right away.

The only thing we know is that he could or couldn't be a Hall of Famer.

I'm just trying to state that they don't get the Knicks' pick and their own.....they get one or the other (the Knicks')

I really hope that a good FRANCHISE gets that first pick.

I realize that the chances of a good TEAM getting it are slim, but the Bobcats have a lot of potential if they could put it together.

I just dread him getting stuck in Memphis, especially with West leaving there that team is headed even more for a downward spiral, I fear.

Congrats to Greg for achieving financial independence before the age of 20 (although some would argue that he is over 50 :biggrin: ).

And also, thanks for propelling the OSU Men's basketball program to another level. Thanks for all the great memories Greg and best of luck! :osu:

Good Luck, Greg. I enjoyed every minute of it. you are going to be a great NBA player. I would like Cleveland to get him, but you know that isn't happening :) you changed The Ohio State University forever and we will never forget what you did this season. 34-4. WOW!!!
