PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) - Greg Oden may be getting a little bored while rehabbing his knee.

For a little fun, the injured 7-footer launched "Oden's Outlet Pass" on his blog.

He's going to be posting surveys about NCAA hoops topics. Once everyone has weighed in, he's going to pick the best three responses and send the winner a copy of College Hoops 2K8 (for you oldsters, that's a video game).

The first question was: Who will be the most exciting player in college hoops this year?

Oden's take from his blog: "I think Eric Gordon because i played with him and i know he has skills. He is not a big talked about guy in the news but he is a killa on the court!"

Gordon and Oden played together as preps in Indiana.

One of those who weighed in was Trail Blazers teammate Josh McRoberts, who videotaped his response and put it up on YouTube.com. These new Blazers are sure media savvy.

"I'm sitting here in my room, I just saw on Greg's blog that he's having a little contest to see who the most exciting player in college basketball will be this year," McRoberts says. "I'm going to go ahead and say Gerald Henderson. He's one of my best friends, he's a great player. He's going to be one of the best players in college basketball this year."

Henderson is a 6-foot-4 sophomore guard who plays for No. 13 Duke. McRoberts was a forward at Duke, selected by the Blazers with the 37th overall pick in the June draft. Oden was the No. 1 pick, out of Ohio State.

McRoberts suffered a severe left ankle sprain in the second practice of the season and played a minute in his first game, the Blazers' 101-92 loss at Charlotte Monday night.

Oden, of course, is out for the season after having microfracture surgery on his right knee, and is going through the rehabilitation process.
