What is going on with Greg Oden, that is a question which takes some thought. First his father comes out and tells the media Greg is going to the NBA. After that his agent if he does go pro teamate Mike Conley Jr’s father tells the media Oden has not decided yet. This is just an absolute mess that need to be resolved. As a Celtics fan who hasn’t seen a good team since the Antoine Walker, Paul Pierce combo got us to the Eastern Conference Finals this decision by Oden is so critical. The Celtics clinched the 2nd worst record in the NBA, which gives them a strong chance to secure the #1 or #2 overall pick. Those two picks will be Durant and Oden if he declares.
There are two franchise players in the draft and I hope that the Celtics can secure one of them. Greg Oden could certainly improve his game by staying in school, but with all that money waiting for him what is the need. Oden would be a top 5 center in the league right now. Thad Motta Ohio States coach did not utilize Oden, his offense was all about 3-pointers and not developing the post game. Greg Oden has to make a decision before April 29th, which is the deadline to declare. For all of Celtics nation we are hoping and praying he declares and the ping-pong balls treat us well come May 22nd.
