Greg Oden is going to get plenty of coaching attention this summer.
That?s according to Trail Blazer General Manager Kevin Pritchard, who says assistant coach Bill Bayno will be specially assigned to work with the 7-foot center.
?We feel good about Bayno working with Greg,? Pritchard says. ?It?s the first summer (Bayno) will have worked with (Oden), and that will be important. But we?re not opposed to bringing in an expert on bigs to work with him. We haven?t arranged for it yet, but we?re starting to get into that.?
Oden is spending the summer in Columbus, Ohio, where he has been joined the past week in workout sessions by teammate Jerryd Bayless. Next week, Pritchard says, the pair will move on to Phoenix to work out together under the direction of Portland strength and conditioning coach Bobby Medina and assistant coach Kaleb Canales.
