Oden Vs Durant

My central Oregon friend Michael Hall sends me information by John Hollinger ESPN Insider, in which Hollinger has developed an analytical method for evaluating draftees and makes the case that Durant is the best player in the draft. Thus Portland should draft Durant #1. His two big knocks against Oden are the bad wrist he suffered that held down his stats and 7-footers.

Hey, I don't make the rules, I just play by 'em. Seven-footers in the drafts I studied tended to greatly underperform their college stats in the pros.
We'll know tomorrow. I'm guessing Oden!

A Black Swan
A drag-racing car careened into a crowd and killed six people.
Larry Price, the founder of Cars for Kids, said he has been staging this event for 18 years in Selmer, and they always do burnouts at the end of the parade. There had been no accidents in the past, he said. (Emphasis added)
