The Oden and Durant show: Ohio State’s Greg Oden and Kevin Durant of Texas, expected to be the No. 1 and No. 2 picks in the draft, found themselves surrounded by huge numbers of media, cameras and microphones at their tables Wednesday.

“It’s been hectic, but it’s been fun,” Durant said of the draft buildup. “I’m glad I’m going through this process. I wouldn’t want it any other way. I’m loving it right now. All you guys looking at me like I’m Michael (Jordan) or a rock star.”

Durant, college basketball’s national player of the year, said he had no problem being the No. 2 pick behind Oden.

“No, I don’t care at all,” he said. “I can’t complain. Being in the first round is just a blessing for me. I’m just happy to be in this position.”

¢Law’s top pick: Acie Law of Texas A&M, one of the top point guards in the draft, claims to be a good friend of Durant. But asked whom he would take with the No. 1 pick, Law didn’t hesitate to choose Oden. “Kevin Durant is the best player in the draft,” Law said. “But if you’re building a franchise, you have to start with the big fella.”

¢Big fella entertaining: Despite a head cold that was making Oden miserable, he entertained questions and charmed reporters.

Asked about his marketability, Oden replied: “I bring a smile, I bring some dance moves when I walk through and all that stuff. That’s what I do. I’m just going to be a nice guy. I like to have fun. That’s what I do. That’s about it. But the smile says a lot.”

¢Great Gators: Joakim Noah, Al Horford, Corey Brewer and Taurean Green won back-to-back NCAA titles at Florida. Now it’s possible they will join Duke (1999) North Carolina (2005), and UConn (2006) as the only schools to have four No. 1 picks in the same draft.

“That would be great,” Brewer said. “We’re going to look back in 15 or 20 years and realize we did something great.”

¢Staying pro: Georgetown likely would be the consensus preseason No. 1 team in college basketball next season if Jeff Green had returned to school. But after careful consideration and lots of advice from coach John Thompson III – and Thompson’s Hall of Fame father – Green stayed in the draft. He could go as high as No. 5 to the Celtics.

“At first, right after the (NCAA) Tournament, I was coming back,” Green said. “But after sitting down with Coach Thompson, I felt this was the right thing to do, especially with the years I’ve had and improving each year.”
