The City is on Edge. Kevin Pritchard is not offering a clue. Speaking of Today's Decision, he says "We got everything on the table today, and we feel good with where we are going." Pritchard said. "We are in a good position right now. A good place." Durant on Wednesday said he would like to be the top pick, but figures that Oden will be the first player taken. Durant is prepared to accept second place. "You can see why he (Oden) is he going to be the No. 1 pick," Durant told a crowded room of media. "I can't argue that. I think he is one of the best centers to ever come out of college. He jumps so high and runs so fast. . . . I have never seen that in a center before. Not even Shaquille (O'Neal). Not even Tim Duncan. That's something that is going to separate him." Durant's concession of the No. 1 pick was in contrast to his normal, win-at-all-cost/killer instinct. He said he still possesses those traits, but has thought that Oden would be No. 1 ever since he watched him play this season. "First of all, a center like him doesn't come around very often. He's a game changer. He doesn't have to score points to be dominant," Durant said.
