Greg Oden is a 7 foot 260 pound Freshman Center for Ohio State. While he is currently recovering from a wrist injury, he is expected to be the first pick in the 2007 draft. Defensively, he is already a beast and a year in the Ohio State weight room will only make him stronger. Offensively, he has moves, but needs to develop a better and more consistent shot.

What else can you say about Greg Oden? Good person, humble, supreme athlete, good feet, very quick, defense and post moves...He's got it all.

BigMac

does anyone know when he will start to play again?

RebelSun

Best case scenario = Brendan Haywood.

There is an Etan Thomas joke waiting to be made in response to this, but I just can't bring myself to do it.

you know what i was thinking the same oden is going to be a bust.....a bust in the sense that they are comparing him to bill russell. please......

how many bill russells have come since he retired?
how many Dr. J's have there been?
how many larry birds are there?
how many michael jordans have come and gone in this league?


NONE!!!

there will never be another player that will do for the game what these have done.....as much as people like to compare players at the end of the day everybody has there own style or own game.......

Oden will be a good player.....maybe emeka okafor like if he has the work ethic....but bill russell and "the next great big man"?.......dont think soo IMO

He is better than Okafor right now

Exactly.

I like Okafor and all and I'd be happy to have him on my team. But Oden is going to bring the C position back to the paint along with Dwight Howard.

You can't go off of flat-out talent? There's a reason people like him, LeBron and Dwight were hyped up so much, they're amazing basketball players.

Yeah what he did against high school talent doesnt mean anything to me. But his skill set, athleticism, and attitude tell me that he has everything.

I mean it didn't take a crystal ball to tell LeBron James was going to be good...
