Isn't he still only playing with one good hand?

Yeah, he is shooting his free throws with his left hand... and he isn't even left handed.

There was a chance he wasn't even going to play until February. So said initial reports after his surgery. So, until his hand is healed, I give him a pass.

I give him a slight pass. Playing with your off-hand is admirable, but as good as he was supposed to be, he should still be better than he has been, especially against elite competition.

His overall numbers for the season so far are also very skewed with games against Cleveland State, Coppin State, and Valparaiso.

Against the two good teams he's faced, Florida and Wisconsin, he's gone 5-12, scored an average of 8.5 ppg and averaged 6.5 rpg. Heck, against an average Illinois frontcourt, he went 3-12 from the field. I understand he can't use his shooting hand right now, but isn't he only just dunking and shooting lay-ups anyway???

He gets a slight pass, but he should be better.

Kevin Durant is the best player in college right now, and I'd seriously consider taking him ahead of Oden with the no. 1 pick. I would probably end up taking Oden, but I would seriously consider Durant.

I'm not impressed. He's no franchise player. Will be good, but not great.

This yr's class of "1 and done" players could be pretty damn good.
