The McDonald's All-American game was televised last night on ESPN. Holy cow. Can we just skip this draft and go straight to next year?
Greg Oden is a freak of nature. The same way Shaq was when he first showed up at LSU and you couldn't believe that someone could be that tall, that strong, that quick and that coordinated all at once. If Oden walked into practice tomorrow he'd be the second best player on the Celtics. I have no problem with any team that trades all their assets for 2007 lottery picks and tanks the season for a chance at getting this guy.
Other players that jumped out at me include Gerald Henderson, son of that Gerald Henderson, who should be great in the backcourt for Duke next year. Chase Budinger, who looks too much like Brad Lohaus for his own good, was fantastic. He'll be playing forward for Arizona. If only there was someone on this blog who lived down there and could give us updates next year. I could never tell which of the Lopez twins was doing what, and since they'll both be playing for Stanford I don't see that getting any easier. Kevin Durant is an athletic freakshow.
If only we could use our draft pick this year to take someone from this crowd. I'd happily wait a year for them to show up.

No word if the author was paid a bonus based on the number of times they used 'upside' in a sentence.
