Personally, I think this was the best thing for Oden. Less weight, being quicker and trying to use "footwork" instead of "power" to get points. He may be a long way from "dominating the game" but I think this direction will be much better for him in the long run.
I am just as worried. Nate has proven he is a good coach for a young group, but is he ready to be the "next level" coach? One that can manage a contender?The worries are whether McMillan can find enough playing time to keep a deep roster happy
1. ODEN...AT LAST?
Greg Oden, after bulking up last season to withstand the rigors of bruising inside play, dropped about 15 pounds during the summer and was quicker, and better, in training camp and preseason.
