NBA Base: Greg Oden says he didn't expect to be taken No. 1 overall ahead of Kevin Durant in 2007 and actually wanted to return to Ohio State "I actually wanted to go back to college, but my coach actually laughed in my face when I told him that I wanted to come back. He said, 'This dude, you're going to be a top-two pick. Like, you have to go.' He said he would do me a disservice if he let me come back to college."
