10/16/2008 - Oklahoma City, OK (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Oklahoma City Thunder have exercised team options to retain the services of forwards Kevin Durant and Jeff Green through the 2009-2010 season, the team announced Thursday.
Durant and Green, both top five picks in the 2007 NBA Draft, are viewed as integral parts of the Thunder's rebuilding process. Durant averaged 20.3 points and 4.4 rebounds in winning Rookie of the Year honors, while Green contributed 10.5 points and 4.7 rebounds per game.
Both players were selected to the All-Rookie first team.
The 6-foot-9 Durant, 20, was the second overall selection in the draft. He became the first freshman to win National Player of the Year honors while averaging 25.8 points and 11.1 rebounds per game in his only year for the Texas Longhorns.
The 22-year-old Green, taken three slots after Durant at No. 5 out of Georgetown, was acquired in the trade that shipped Ray Allen to the Celtics.

With the field of 64/65 set, MySportsbook.com has the Florida Gators as the 4-1 favorite to successfully defend their National Championship. Men’s Division-1 College Basketball has not seen a team repeat as National Champions since Duke won back to back championships in ’91 & ‘92. After losing three out of four late in the season, the Gators are full of momentum as they won their last four games by an average of 18 points. Not surprisingly, right behind the Gators are the other three top seeds: Kansas 5-1, UNC 6-1, and Ohio State 7-1. Many consider Kansas to be the hottest team in the country, having won 11 straight. With Kansas, it is hard to ignore all of the early exits from the “dance” in recent years. With an impressive ACC Tournament, UNC ensured themselves the other top seed. UNC has about as much talent as any other team in the tournament but with a team that’s best players are primarily freshman and sophomores, could youth be a concern. Behind freshman sensation, Greg Oden, OSU will look to do what their football team failed to do just a few months earlier. OSU seems to have peeked at the right time, as they currently have a 17 game winning streak. Since the tournament field was expanded in 1985, there has never been an instance where all four #1 seeds advanced to the Final Four. It is obvious that each of the top seeds have the talent to make it through to Atlanta. But as everyone knows, when makes the NCAA Tournament so special are all of the spoilers and “Cinderella” stories that knock off the favorites on a daily basis.
