Here are some brief Q&A with Greg Oden, Kevin Durant, Mike Conley Jr and Spencer Hawes in New York.
Greg Oden
Question: So what’s the feeling you have inside right now being the number one overall pick?
Anwser: Man it feels so great, it’s been a long process and I’m just anxious to get on the court and give it my all for Portland.
Question: Who are you looking forward to playing against in the NBA?
Anwser: Truthfully I’m just gald to get the chance to be on the same court with so many great players. But I guess one player it will be fun to play against is Tim Duncan.
Question: So are you going to make any big purchases?
Anwser: I’m going to try and be a modest spender and build my money up. I don’t want to go broke overnight (LOL!).
Kevin Durant
Question: So it looks like you’ll be the man in Seattle with Ray Allen gone how does that feel?
Anwser: Well I was expecting him to be our top player and I could help take the load off him. But now I will make the best of this opportunity. We have a good young team and I’m excited no matter what!
Question: Was it a little embrassing having your mom wipe your face off on national TV?
Anwser: (LOL!) Naw it was a little funny just seeing that pop up. But my mom just wants me to look my best!
Question: What are you going to do with your first paycheck?
Anwser: Whatever my mom wants she’s getting it!
Mike Conley Jr
Question: How do you feel going to Memphis?
Anwser: I feel pretty good, we have a good young team and I’m confident I can help turn things around.
Question: Hot seat question- Who will get to a championship first you or Greg Oden?
Anwser: (LOL!) Cop out anwser- Good question we’ll just have to wait and see!
Question: Some rookies are big spenders, others are not which one are you?
Anwser: I’m not a big spender, I’ll probably live decent starting out. Instead of buying a mansion, I’ll get a condo.
Spencer Hawes
Question: Deep down what team did you feel you were going to?
Anwser: We kept hearing T’Wolves, Bulls, Kings, and 76ers. I just tried to not get a certain hope so it wouldn’t be a let down. I’m happy to be a Sacramento King!
Question: Will you look at Brad Miller to be a mentor starting out?
Anwser: I will definetly ask him questions and be a sponge and soak up all I can. I think Brad and I can work well together.
Question: Many observers have been critical of your "lack of toughness" what do you say to that? Anwser: It’s pretty typical. It comes with the territory of being a professional, people will praise the pros and knock the cons. I just have to go out and play the way I know best and I should be fine.
