ODEN OR DURANT? For the second straight year, adidas will be outfitting the #1 pick in the NBA Draft with the official NBA Draft Cap. Available at store.nba.com for the folks who wanna be the first on their block dressed like the next big thing — whoever that may be.

Five Players I’m Excited To See:

1. Greg Oden. Obvious. But, how often do you get to see something that you just know ESPN will show 20 years from now?
2. Kevin Durant. He’s been everywhere in New York this week — including a get-together to launch the cover of March Madness 08 — but I can imagine he’s ready to end the speculation and hear David Stern call his name.
3. Joakim Noah. Will he dance for the commish? We can only hope so.
4. Mike Conley, Jr. Chris Paul and Daron Williams are both great players, but Conley, Jr. has the potential to be the most exciting personality at the point guard position in a minute.
5. Yi Jianlian. Don’t believe the hype? Me neither. We’ll see.
