hahahaha... he must be related to paul allen...

Second round it's a gamble anyway. Maybe playing alongside Oden so
he don't have to be the man, unlike at Duke, is his saving grace.

So the guy is expecting an easier time in the NBA? I see how that
works...

Maybe. He was expected to be the man at Duke, lots of pressure. No
such pressure in Portland. Sometimes you see guys who can't handle
the pressure (Juwan Howard, Peja, for example). When they are put in
a situation where the expectations are lower, they can perform. He is
not going to be a star. Maybe he can be a journeyman role player.

He is Oden's good friend, someone he knows to hang out with. He can be a practice player if it
helps
Oden's transition to the league.

Didn't his high school team once beat Oden's high school team?

and that would mean exactly what to you???-

Not everything has to have some kind of meaning. It's just an
interesting data point if true. Just like the team that beat Power
Memorial with Alcindor will forever be an interesting data point.
