b) Pryzbilla could be much better, just think back two seasons ago when he was a double-double threat for almost the whole season, as well as a monster on the blocks. Magloire also has the potential to be like that
c) Zach Randolph will continue to be starting PF if he stays in Portland, which could move Aldridge up to C, which makes 3 great choices for the 5-spot AKA too crowded for Oden.
So unless the Blazers are planning to make a lot of moves this off-season they should just go with Durant. Just my $0.02

He isn't just predicted to be a first pick. He is predicted to be one of the few dominant centers out there. big difference. Aldrige is a pf. he is not going to play center. randolph is as good as gone. pryzbuka is a nobody. The only reason he is still in the nba is because of his size. double double threat my ass- the closest he got to a double double average was 6ppg and 7 boards. which is a far cry from his 2 points and 3 boards he did this season. oden will start every game at center. you dont have a guy with this much hype and potential coming off the bench.
