Oklahoma City's first impression of Greg Oden would not be a lasting one.

Portland's 7-foot center was not a factor last week in the first display of the top two picks in the 2007 NBA draft, No. 1 Oden and No. 2 Kevin Durant.

But Wednesday night in the Trail Blazers' 106-92 victory over the Thunder, Oden showed his potential with 16 points, 10 rebounds and three blocked shots.
