We Feel a Draft ...

So Portland, you're sold on this Greg Oden guy, even though his left wrist lacks flexibility and he has one leg longer than the other. And what about those back problems? Remember 1984, when the Trail Blazers selected Sam Bowie over Michael Jordan with the No. 2 pick (Hakeem Olajuwon was the No. 1 pick). It was the single most colossal blunder in the history of basketball. Is Kevin Durant the way to go for Portland?

We are going to discuss Thursday's NBA draft with Paul Netter of the Los Angeles Times. Paul will join us just after the midnight hour Friday on the West Coast. Fred Wallin and John Woolard start things off at 10 p.m. (Pacific), and the Wiz steps into the fray at 11:30.
