i think he'll turn out to be decent (poor man's camby), but he wasn't any good last year.
i'd say in 3 years portland might be shooting for the 6-8 playoff spot in the west.
Actually there was a lot of thought originally to making Drob the PF and Duncan the C(or at least specualtion by the fans and media)...Drob's best season he played PF(as in point forward) on offense pretty much. And when Duncan was coming out of college the guy he was projected often as being similar too was Hakeem(and it was a good projection, because he is very similar to Hakeem right down to body type, and especially on offense)
Part of the reason Drob was the C and Duncan the PF in our tower combo was Drob was one definitely of the best defensive C in history(like top 2 or 3 IMO). And it's probable that Duncan would be considered one(of the best ever) as well if he'd played C his whole career. He's definitely the best defensive PF of all time(this is inarguable IMO)...but that's because he's a a great(IMO HOF Caliber) defensive C.
Edit Point: Oden is going to be the C in this combo..guranteed. Because of his D.

I don't think it's a slam dunk that the Blazers take Oden.
Durant may be more of a possibility since their primary small forward is Ime Udoka and the back-up is Martell Webster. Forget about Darius Miles, he won't see the floor for the Blazers again even if he recovers from knee surgery.
It all hinges on whether they plan on keeping Zach Randolph and Joel Przybilla around.
Maybe the Blazers might be weary of Oden after taking Sam Bowie over Jordan in '84. I'm not comparing Oden to Bowie, I'm just saying that Durant has the ability to become a big time scorer in this league.
The former, I just threw that in there as a play on Mountain Dew Code Red
