Why Oregon Ducks Struck Gold With Dana Altman Hire

 

Since he was handed the key to the men's college basketball program in 2010-2011, Oregon Ducks coach Dana Altman has taken his team to the NCAA Tournament eight times. The banner for the 2016-17 Final Four team continues to glisten in the rafters of the Matthew Knight Arena. 

 

In the words of the great Jon Rothstein, his name is Dana Altman and he solves Rubik's Cubes. He seems to turn on a switch before the start of February and March because this is where his teams become a brick wall that no one wants to run into.

Oregon basketball center Nate Bittle not invited to NBA Combine

 

Although Oregon Ducks center Nate Bittle was assumed to return to the program for the 2025-26 season, the 7-footer from Central Point, Ore. wanted to test out the NBA draft waters.

 

On Friday, he received some news on that front.

 

Bittle did not receive an invitation to the NBA Combine later this month, which could diminish his chances of being drafted in June. This might be disappointing news for Bittle, but it's potentially good news for the Ducks, who will have one of the best centers in the country next season if he chooses to return for one more year in Eugene.

Since Bittle wasn't invited to the NBA Draft Combine in Chicago, this workout with the Warriors could just be being used as a sort of tool to figure out what he needs to continue to work on or improve in his final campaign with Oregon. Hearing from the likes of Golden State coach Steve Kerr and general manager Mike Dunleavy will leave some constructive criticism on what it will take for him to succeed at the next level down the road.

This is a very interesting development. By my count, Oregon already has 13 on scholarship. Those are:

Vatan, Shelstad, Lindsay, Simpkins, Kobzystyi, Evans, Pryor, Phillips, Bittle, Stewart x2, Frakes, and Demir.

However, it is interesting that Demir is the only player on that list that has not been added to the Oregon roster. Did something happen there? If so, maybe that makes room for Lin?

Oregon needs another guard badly.
