Oden Workout

Greg Oden arrived in Portland on Tuesday, eager to make his case to the Trail Blazers that he is the answer in the great debate: Oden or Durant?

After two days of visiting the city, meeting with team officials and doctors, the 19-year-old center from Ohio State, generally considered to be the No. 1 pick in next Thursday's NBA Draft, did a one-hour workout for the Blazers that created more questions than answers, according to this report in The Oregonian:
