Like Greg Oden, Fernandez was selected on June 28, 2007 but this was by the Phoenix Suns.  Sometime thereafter that team traded Fernandez’s draft rights to the Portland Trail Blazers for cash.  At the same time, Oden was selected as the no. 1 overall pick, whereas Fernandez was 24th overall in the NBA Draft.

Nate McMillan inspires Greg Oden

Nate McMillan, the coach of the Portland Trail Blazers where Greg Oden plays Center, recently sat down with Benson Taylor of Sporting News. Coach McMillan explained that they’ve had a successful season, partly as a result of the excellent coaching staff. As he said, “We’ve got to be the hardest-working team out on the court. And our guys have responded to that.”

He plans to make a number of decisions in the offseason to help to rebuild the team so that it will be strong enough to compete in the Western Conference and possibly for a championship.
