Oden Wants Rookie Of The Year

After being sidelined for a year, Oden has his sights set on the Rookie of the Year crown.

“He was drafted more than 14 months ago, and even then he looked too old to be a first-year player, so it’s easy to forget that Greg Oden is technically a rookie. Sidelined all season after knee surgery, the top pick in the 2007 draft never got to compete with No. 2 selection Kevin Durantfor the Rookie of the Year award. So he’s eligible to win it this year, and that’s one of his goals. “I hope so,” Oden said Thursday. “I’m working for it.”
