 2007
NBA Draft Betting Odds
Carrie Stroup here for
Sports911.com and let me tell you all, I'm thilled
to announce that Sportsbook.com keeps on marching
along with all the latest
2007 NBA Draft betting odds....and
what a selection they have.
Even though San
Antonio cut down the nets last week, you still have
one more opportunity to cash in on the NBA. Next
Thursday the NBA will conduct its annual draft.
There is plenty of excitement surrounding this
year’s draft considering many experts feel as if
this is the most talented crop of draftees to come
out in years. As everyone already knows, heading the
group are two players that are considered immediate
impact franchise type players.
Portland holds the first pick and will more than
likely select 7’1” man-child Greg Oden out of Ohio
State. All Oden did during his freshman campaign was
average 15.4 point, 9.5 boards and 3.3 blocks per
game, all while playing the first half of the season
with a banged up hand.
Right behind
Portland, the Seattle SuperSonics will most likely
select the National Player of the Year Kevin Durant
out of Texas. Durant had one of the most dominant
freshman years in recent memory averaging 25.8
points and 11.1 boards. Many consider both of these
players to be 10 year all-star types that can turn
around a franchise immediately. Oden is the best
center prospect to enter the draft since Shaquille
O’Neal back in 1992. With so few dominant centers in
the league today, Oden should be one the top centers
in the league from day 1. Believe it or not, some
think that Durant should be selected with the first
pick instead of Oden. As good as Durant is, a team
would be foolish to pass on Oden; centers with the
physical tools like Oden has are few and far
between.
Although Oden and Durant are the clear cut top two
picks, there are plenty of other players that are
expected to make an impact their rookie seasons.
Most notably the National Champion Florida Gators
expect to have three players selected in the top 10
including: Al Horford, Corey Brewer and Joakim Noah.
Others that should have their names called out early
are Mike Conley (OSU), Brandan Wright (UNC) and Yi
Jianlin (China).
