There is no way that Duke this year is on par with NC and for NC it will all come down to there ability to handle the ball under pressure with freshmen guard who happens to be very good and has played high level b-ball forever but you can never tell if the stage will ever get too big for him, and one other thing if for any reason Durant and Oden come out this year which is a very good possibility whoever takes Durant before Oden should have there head examined its not even close Durant does possess very good skills but he is not a center and he is not going to make any NBA team an instant success but Oden on the other hand can help a team like Boston make it to the playoffs and win a title in a few years. I can see some NBA team tanking it in the last few weeks just to have more ping pong balls in the hopper praying Oden leaves early. If someone were to take Durant in my opinion before Oden it would almost be like Sam Bowie being picked before MJ one of the worse draft day mistakes in history.
