I don't understand that one.

You say you don't see anyone on the Clips being a stud, but then you think Bender will be?

Odom, Q, Maggette, Brand, and Miller have shown more already, or more potential to be studs than Bender has. I realize Miller and Brand aren't guys who will be those superstuds, but Bender hasn't even shown the potential to even be on their level.

I was a huge Bender fan when he came out, and have defended him against the people who have called him a bust, but I can't see how anyone could label him a stud after what he's shown in the NBA to date.

I agree with you to an extent about the Clips and that one stud. I think ODom is the only player on the team that has that type of ability. I personally feel that his suspensions are behind him. It's all a matter of staying healthy. I think Odom will be that player as long as he does stay healthy. I do think it's a valid concern to worry about, but I do believe that Odom will be that player for the Clippers.
