The Blazers didn’t get much production this season from the rookies on the team but look out next season. Center Greg Oden was the #1 pick overall in last season’s NBA Draft but he missed the entire season due to surgery on his knee. The Blazers are confident that he will be ready to return when the 2008-09 NBA season is ready to tip off. It will be like the Blazers had another very high draft pick next year as Oden will make a huge splash for the Blazers on defense and with rebounding.

Josh McRoberts was the second round pick of the Blazers and he didn’t get much playing time. He played in 8 games (0 starts) for the Blazers this season and he averaged 3.5 minutes, 1.5 points, 1.3 rebounds and 0.3 assists per game. McRoberts has a lot of players in front of him at forward so he will have to fight to even make the team next season.
