Seems to be the consensus.

I remember hearing Oden say that he didn't like facing McRoberts. He always gave him a hard time, or something like that.

Not sure where I heard this though.

I don't know the quote you're talking about, but I can see him saying that. They're apparently good friends, because they played against eachother in high school a few times and actually wound up on the same AAU team as upperclassmen.

Found it.

He uses both hands on the court. That gives him an edge on everybody else. He was here for a day so I got to hang out with him.</div>

He seems like a good pick and could help our front line alot.

Looks like the best possible pick, unless a better big man slips. This is a draft where we NEED to take the best big man available, NOT the best player available (UNLESS we let Carter go, sign a decent/good big man with the cap space/MLE and draft a talented shooting guard).
