Because you voted, "neither, they both suck.", it is obvious both of them are #1 draft picks.
Yeah thats a good enough reason
Oden.
And it's not even close.
Oden's the next great big man in the NBA. Durant loves the three point line too much.
durant all the way foo.
Thats ridicoulous, not even close? 10 more points, almost 2 more rebounds, 1 steal more per than Oden, not saying Durants gonna be better, but right now its not even close Durants way
Is this for this current NCAA season? With regards to the upcoming draft? For the future of a franchise?
As for the first, right now Durant is more impressive. Still, he's healthy and Bigs take longer to develop than do wings. With regards to the draft, I seriously doubt anyone has anybody over Oden. Not nobody, not no how! As for the future, Durant will be a bigger star, but Oden will be the most dominant defensive force in the game by the age of 25 and while it may take longer for his offensive game to cach up, he's got the instincts and the smart to be the next Robinson or Hakeem.
After you get past the current stats, which are VERY hard to look past, you simply have to take Oden. 90% of Championship teams have had a Hall-of-Fame big man. Save for the few isolated les like the SuperSonics or Bulls, teams like the Lakers, Celtics, Rockets and Spurs have shown what is most needed. Save for that great two-way wing of Jordan's calibur, you simply must have a dominant big man in the NBA. MUST HAVE.
me of course
Oden should be number 1 pick. But Durant is going to be amazingly good. All in all, I just want Atlanta to finish with the #4 pick so the Suns can take it and big up somebody pretty awesome in the lottery.
If all goes as planned... Oden declares, Durant declare, Noah declares, Wright (of UNC) declares, Arthur (of Kansas) declares...
With this and the Suns netting the pick at #4 or #5, any of Noah (6-11, 235, very athletic, great shot blocker, good passer, rebounder and good low-post), Wright (6-10, 225, very athletic, 7-6+ wingspan, good range, good smarts) or Arthur (6-9, 225, athletic, good range, good all-around offensively/defensively, fierce competator) will all be there for the Suns to choose from.
This fails to list 7-foot Brooke Lopez of Stanford, 6-11 Spencor Hawes of Washington, 6-11 Tiago Splitter of Brazil, 7-0 Yi Jianlian of China or Al Horford (6-9, 240) of Florida or Josh McRoberts (6-10, 230) of Duke.
If everyone enters (which is unlikely), the Suns should have a bevy of PF/C options to choose from.
I'd take Noah or Wright and be as happy as one can be in any draft, knowing the current talent on the Suns and the amazing talent that is either of the two PFs...
Also, Hansborough, and Tucker, gona be a sick draft
Durant is a beast tonight!! he's the fukin man
yeah the spurs game blows, everyone shouldve watched the Durants
Durrant : 37 pts and 23 rebs AT Texas Tech tonight.
Nuff said
one game doesn't make this poll, give it to the season and see who was right. i think its crazy to think Durant has nearly as much of an effect on defense than Odom does. that being said, Durant is more versatile on offense...but i still give the slight edge to Odom. and think the draft will go...1. Odom 2. Durant.
...Durant is going to get pushed around in the NBA, at least in his early years, imo. Odom not nearly as much.
37 pts 23 reb tonight vs. Tech, this guy is the im tellin yall!
One game? Your ing kidding me right? This kid brings it every night, regardless of who or where he plays. The gap between the two is becoming bigger and bigger every night. 9 points and 6 rebounds compared to 37(which he has hit 3 times this year) and 23 ing rebounds, ridicuoloso
you just made my point; i never said he didn't bring it every night or that he wasn't putting up great #'s on a continual basis. thanks.
I was switching between the Spurs game and this one and holy the guy had 17 Points and 18 rebounds like at the start of the second half.
Meanwhile Greg Oden had 9 points and 8 rebounds. I'm hoping to see Oden jump out and get a big game in. Is it his injuries or what?
That be it... it was Oden's first game back from a brief absense, still only one-handed, being underused on a perimeter jacking team, still putting up better numbers as a freshman than Shaq/Hakeem/Ewing/DRob/etc ONE-HANDED.I was switching between the Spurs game and this one and holy the guy had 17 Points and 18 rebounds like at the start of the second half.

But Durant's a ing beast.
who cares about either of them.
They're both gonna be great pros, although Durant probably has to hit the weight room a little bit like KG and Kobe had to when they came out. Oden's body is like Amare's and Dwight Howard's, although I think he is more fundamentally sound.
That was the NBA before the evil Stern changed the rules to benefit slashing, run and gun teams. The trend has been set and the new NBA's rules will continue to slant towards run and gun until the NBA is almost another damn version of streetball. Fundamental basketball of the Lakers and Spurs Championships has been deemed boring by Stern, and the rules are a changin' as the refs are instructed to call games differently. That being said - the big man will lose effectiveness and the athletic wing/forward will gain a bigger advantage as the league continues to change. 6 years from now the game will be so much slanted towards run and gun that Durant will be the hot commodity since his abilities are suited for that style of game. I hate to see it happen, but the days of the dominate big man are coming to an end.
