Yeah I can see why so many are in love with Oden. He's young as hell, and seems to dominate the competition.

He shows promise for sure, but with all the mistakes over the years with GM's drafting promising young talent on a WHIM that they'll turn out to be some MJ-reincarnation or something, and it end ups blowing up in their face. Case in point: Kwame Brown. Hahaha that's all I can say about that rotten mother fucker. AND he's on my Lakers now...hmmm...granted Kwame was in high school, but Oden's only a freshman. He sticks around a couple more years and shows what he's got, and then we'll talk.

I just couldn't bear to take a huge risk if I were a GM. This is kinda why I'm in favor of an age limit for those that declare...21+

Another STUD in college was U of Illinois' Dee Brown. That little dude toar apart the NCAA, but nothing of what he was now that he's in the league. Darren Williams, on the other hand, is keepin' it real.

Durant's "proven" more as far as a player, to me at least, and that's why he seems like a safer bet. That's really all it is, too, when comparing these oafs. Well, do you feel lucky? Do you? :stoned:
