You draft what you need, you don't draft for potential. Bowie at the time was a very good intelligent pick for Portland and I would have selected him over Jordan with Clyde already on my team, come on!! That's a no-brainer. You going to built around Clyde, and what does he need, a rebounder and force underneath. Bowie was a gamble you had to take. In no-way do you pass on Oden. That would border line be a crime punishable by impeachment of the owner by the fans.
I recently saw a commercial with Reggie Bush who was talking about how great New Orleans was and how they embraced him there, etc. The punch line of the commercial was thanks for passing on me in the first round. I hope Portland doesn't make the same mistake. We have had some legitimate players coming out of the draft as of late.
