Bucks Will Pick Oden If They Get Top Pick

If the Milwaukee Bucks secure the top pick in Tuesday's lottery, GM Larry Harris say they will select Greg Oden.

While Harris lauds Texas forward Kevin Durant as a player who can score "20 in his sleep," he says Oden's combination of defense and rebounding would be an ideal upgrade for a team that was awful at both last season.

"One player solves a lot of problems for us defensively," Harris said. "I mean, we were 29th in defense, 30th in rebounding, 30th in shot blocking -- one guy solves a lot of those issues, and defense wins game."

Jail Term Possible For Patterson

Milwaukee Bucks forward Ruben Patterson has surrendered to police in Hamilton County, Ohio, and was placed on the state's sex offender registry.

A misdemeanor warrant was issued earlier this week after he failed to register as a convicted sex offender when he moved into a new house in the Cincinnati suburb of Indian Hill.

Patterson, who surrendered late Tuesday, was ordered to make a future court appearance. He faces a misdemeanor complaint that carries a possible six-month jail term.

Patterson is a free agent this offseason.
