Greg Oden goes down even before Practice start with a Season ending knee injury. Has Portland felt the wrath again. They pass on Kevin Durant, like the passed on Michael Jordan in 1983, for what they thought was the best player that would help them now instead of, who I felt would of been the bigger help down the rode in Durant. Seattle got a player in Kevin Durant that is absolutely amazing. Durant in my mind will be the next player that everyone compares to one of the legends.

Other rookie I will be following is the Chicago Bulls First Round Pick Joakim Noah. In my mind he was a over rated player on a great team. He did nothing to impress me. The only thing that stuck out was his wild hair. That is just my opinion though. He could be a great player with the bulls. I really feel the bulls are a player or 2 and a coaching change from winning another Championship.

What does everybody else think about the rookies? Who is the rookie player you are looking forward to watch playing? What team is the team to watch out for?
