    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">HACKENSACK, N.J. -- The world's most promising future NBA draft pick doesn't have a driver's license, can't vote and doesn't think he's nearly as good as everyone else does.



    Greg Oden, who turns 17 in January, will enter his junior year this fall at Lawrence North High School in Indiana and is expected to be ushered into the NBA as soon as the law allows. Trading cards bearing his picture are auctioned on eBay. Web sites, unbeknownst to him, celebrate his supposed demigod stature.

    The guy is black. He's 7+ feet tall, around 240 pounds. He admits hes not good, when Scouts say he is. He just started playing a few years ago, and has added very good parts to his game, like a hook shot. I've known about him for about 2 years, when scouts started getting interested in him. He's born in 1988, and is projected to be the number 1 pick in the 2006 draft ahead of the asian kid.

    Well Robert Swift, a HS Center, who was drafted this year, by the Sonics, would probably be the number 1 or 2 pick in the 2005 draft, had he elected to goto college.

    Yea I heard about this kid a little over a year ago, and I think if someone instills a little confidence in him he could go far, since he has a big heart and outhustles most. And watch out for his "little(laughs while saying it)brother*. Who I belive is going into 8th grade and is already 6'7.

    Oden will not go to college. No one from now on will go to college if they are predicted to be the top pik. I will be SURPRISED if he does go to college.

    Ogden got outplayed at ABCD. He is athletic but got no skills. If he develops at least decent post up game in 2 years, he will be hard to stop even in the NBA

    Why are you calling Kobe 8 Ball an idiot when the statment of color never was even brought up in his post. He never said whether he was black or white.

    Actually 8 ball edited his post after. It orignally said "rumour has it that he's white" or something like that.
