LAS VEGAS (AP) - Greg Oden's foul troubles followed him to the NBA.
The Portland Trail Blazers center, the first overall pick in last month's draft, picked up three quick fouls in the opening three minutes of his professional debut Friday night in the Las Vegas summer league and fouled out with 10 fouls.
"It's amazing," said Oden smiling. "I usually get thrown out after five."
League rules allow 10 fouls before disqualification.
"It's a different game (in comparison to college). They call it different," Oden said. "There are a lot of things you can't do with hand movements and hand checks."
Portland trailed by double digits for most of the game as Oden was a non-factor in a 74-66 loss to the Boston Celtics. He had six points and two rebounds in 20 minutes.
"I couldn't get into a groove tonight," he said. "There's always a lot of pressure out there because of who you are."
Oden, who battled foul trouble during his only season at Ohio State, had four fouls in the first half and was limited to four points in eight minutes. His woes continued in the third quarter as he picked up three early fouls, including an offensive one for pushing off, in the opening 2:59.
The 7-foot, 250-pounder showed his potential late. He drew sympathy cheers for hitting a jumper with five minutes to play and followed with a monstrous block, but was hardly the force inside Portland expects.
"He's been under the weather the last week or so. This is the summer league and we want guys to come out and play," said Portland coach Nate McMillan. "There were four or fives times when we couldn't get the ball to him in the post." |
I know it's only summer league but this is just funny. I sure hope it's not a sign of things to come.

Big baby was abusing him on the post
in terms of good news for Portland, Aldridge was hitting midrange jumpers, and putting in post moves left and right, getting positioning for boards. Aldridge is looking like a Chris Bosh type player.
