Prediction: Oden's career NBA numbers

[Cry Havoc]

After watching Oden destroy the Gators in the NCAA championship when Florida often had 5 "NBA" players on the court, I took serious notice of this kid's ability to have an immediate impact on the league.

He's like a taller Ben Wallace with a soft shot and an incredibly quick first step on offense. I'm not sure about the Ewing comparisons of yet, but I'll say this... I think Oden will average 22 points 12 boards and 3 blocks per, maybe more boards if he gets into shape, less if he doesn't. He might even get close to 3.5 or 4 blocks.

Now I have to wonder where he and Durant will go, and who will end up with better numbers.

Opines?

[stretch]

24.7 pts
12.5 rbs
2.6 blks

3 MVPs

3 Rings

[Medvedenko]

It may depend on where he goes...but I like his chances on having a stellar NBA career.
Based on what I see....at his peak:
26-29 ppg
10-14 rbs
1.5-2.9 blks
2-3 assists

[monosylab1k]

First season Oden won't have as big an impact because he's still gotta learn the offensive game, plus he gets in foul trouble WAY too easy. I say rookie year he averages 12 pts/10 reb/2 blocks. But eventually he's going to be a perennial MVP candidate and averaging around 25pts/14reb/4blocks.

[atxrocker]

i'd go with

18 pts
8 rbs
1.6 blks

[Spurminator]

I think Durant will have better numbers, while Oden will have better team success.

Very Duncan/Garnett.

[E20]

I'm gonna be outlandish and say he's the next Ralph Sampson.

[Pugglekicker_21]

rooklie year he sits behind Michael Olowakandi in Boston

He breaks his ankle, tears his knee apart after his first dunk, career ending







or he averages 20-27, 10-15 and 2 to 3, maybe 4 blocks

[atxrocker]

I think Durant will have better numbers, while Oden will have better team success.

Very Duncan/Garnett.


:lol did you just insinuate that garnett has had good team success?

[mardigan]

17 to 20 points, 10-12 boards, 2-4 blocks for his career

[Spurminator]

How did you do on the analogy portion of the SAT?

Not to be wiseass but he did follow the question/answer comparison respectively. :spin

[Bob Lanier]

For his career? 19 points, 9 rebounds, 2 and change blocks.

I'll give him a peak season of 26 points, 10 rebounds, and 4 blocks.

[Fillmoe]

20 pts

10 reb

2 blocks

[Cry Havoc]

Peak year for Oden: 26, 14, and 3.8

I think he'll stay in college and become a CPA.

Peak year for Oden: 26, 14, and 3.8


what the fuck are you smokin? :drunk

[SRJ]

I see him as Dikembe Mutombo with offensive skills.

Peak seasons: 53-55 FG%, 24-25 ppg, 12-13 rpg, 3-3.5 bpg

Career: 51-52 FG%, 17-19 ppg, 10.5-11.5 rpg, 2.5-3 bpg

[AFBlue]

I think he'll struggle offensively for the first few years, but will be a steady rebounding machine.

First year 15ppg 11rpg, Career 18ppg 13rpg...not sure on the blocks

[Texas_Ranger]

19 pts., 12 reb., 2 ast., 2 blk.

[JamStone]

I don't think he will be that great a rebounder. Perhaps solid, but not mind boggling like a Rodman or Russell. But, I do think he'll be one of the great shotblockers in the league.

For his career:

18.7 ppg, 9.1 rpg, 3.3 bpg

[Cry Havoc]

what the fuck are you smokin? :drunk

From what I've seen of his blocks, he has about a 30 inch vertical. He already has one of the best big bodies in the NBA, and I'm not sure there are many 7 footers that have a hope of stopping him in the paint. When you consider that Shaq only has a couple years left, and the fact that there are a complete dearth of good big men out East, I think he could accomplish this. Look at what Dwight Howard is doing on the glass as a young guy for Orlando in the East.

[monosylab1k]

Greg Oden will leave the game as one of the top 10 greatest centers to ever play.

What's the over/under on him being a better post player than Walton? :lol :lol :lol

But seriously, I hope Oden isn't mired in the mud of the NBA with a horrible team his whole career (a la Garnett). I know he's a lot of untapped athletic potential, but I don't think I've seen a big man play instinctive shot blocking defense in college like that for a long time. And he's 19. :dizzy

his knees will be destroy after three seasonshttp://www.spurstalk.com/forums/newreply.php#

Opines?
has he said he is coming out?

[Cry Havoc]

has he said he is coming out?

He's a top 2 pick in the draft, a lock for the top 3. He hasn't explicitly stated as such, but I can't imagine him going back.

[Cry Havoc]

I'll agree with this. I don't him as a 20 and 12 guy. You guys seem pretty unrealistic to me.

He's a 7 ft 1 in Amare Stoudamire with defense. How the heck can you think he won't average 20/10 per with his leaping ability and that blinding first step is beyond me.
