They will almost certainly choose between : Oden, the Ohio State center, or Durant, Texas' high-scoring forward. 波特蘭獲得最好的機會重現今年的最佳新秀，幾乎可以確定他們會選中鋒Greg Oden 或具有得分力的高大前鋒Kevin Durant : "They're going to help us right away," Roy said. "They can come into the NBA : right away and play. I'm just excited about sitting back and knowing our : general manager has the choice of drafting either Kevin Durant or Greg Oden. : Either one, you can't go wrong. So I'm excited we have the opportunity to : choose between the two." Roy表示"她們將可以立即幫助我們。他們倆位是NBA的即戰力，我很興奮我們總管會 選擇他們其中哪一位，哪一位都是不會錯的，所以我真的很興奮有機會去選擇其中 一位"(ROY看起來真的很興奮啊..) : The 7-foot Oden is the likely top pick, because dominant centers are harder : to find. 7呎中鋒Oden是最可能的選擇，畢竟具有統治力的中鋒是很難尋找滴 ===================以下就比較不重要了，所以..============================== : Regardless of who goes No. 1, both players are likely headed to the : Northwest, as Seattle also moved up into second. Atlanta got the third pick : -- and needed it. Falling out of the top three would have meant sending the : pick to Phoenix. : The lottery determined the top three spots, with the rest of the teams going : in reverse order of a team's finish. : Memphis and Boston, which had the worst records in the league and the best : chance of landing in the top two, slipped to fourth and fifth, respectively. : Milwaukee will go sixth, followed by Minnesota, Charlotte and Chicago, which : had the rights to New York's pick through the Eddy Curry trade. : Sacramento goes 10th, followed by the Hawks, Philadelphia, New Orleans and : the Los Angeles Clippers. : With Oden and Durant highlighting a draft that includes the core of Florida's : consecutive NCAA championship teams, the June 28 draft in New York is : expected to be one of the NBA's best in years. : "Tonight we're looking at what's probably going to be the deepest draft in a : couple of decades," commissioner David Stern said earlier Tuesday. : Portland had a great draft night in 2006, landing Roy and LaMarcus Aldridge : through trades. They won't need a deal this time thanks to some lottery luck. 波特蘭有個成功的2006的選秀，所以不需要一些為這次選秀無謂的交易 : The SuperSonics will get a player that in many other years would have gone : No. 1, and maybe whichever player it is can help save the NBA in Seattle. The : Sonics haven't been able to get a new arena and aren't guaranteed to be in : Seattle past next season. : The Hawks were the other big winner Tuesday. Moving up one spot saved them : from having to send their pick to the Suns as a result of the Joe Johnson : trade. And Atlanta also picked up Indiana's pick, No. 11, from the Al : Harrington deal since the Pacers stayed put. : The presence of the two freshmen superstars added more hype than usual to : this year's lottery. There were nearly 100 media credential requests, far : more than usual. : It also led to speculation that some teams didn't try their best to win : games, hoping to improve their chances of landing a top-two pick. Because of : all the tanking talk, Stern said he wants NBA owners to look at the lottery : this summer to see if a new system is needed. : But the losing didn't pay off. The Grizzlies had a 25 percent chance of : winning No. 1 after finishing with the league's worst record, but they will : pick fourth in Jerry West's last draft with the team. Ten years after missing : out on Tim Duncan, Boston had more lottery heartbreak, falling from the No. 2 : spot. Milwaukee will go sixth. : Oden averaged 15.7 points, 9.6 rebounds and 3.3 rebounds while leading Ohio : State to the national championship game, even though he was limited for much : of the season while recovering from right wrist surgery. : Durant was even better in his only season at Texas, becoming the first : freshman in NCAA history to win player of the year honors. The 6-foot-9 : forward led the Big 12 with 25.8 points and 11.1 rebounds per game, and was : the AP national player of the year. : http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/draft2007/news/story?id=2879568 --
