Chris has got it. Franklin is still talking about facts that he doesn’t have and Barry needs a better understanding of time–what is past and what is still developing.

Dwight when Oden came out of college, did you think he was going to be an offensive force? Did you ever even WATCH him in college?

If he can stay on the floor he gets 10+ rebs a game, blocks a few shots, and clogs up the middle.

That’s all we need from the guy.

You know who else has no offensive game to speak of? Dwight Howard, who just took his team to the NBA Finals.

LOL Franklin, at least you’re consistent, I’ll give you that.

Sam was a very skilled player. I’m not sure Dwight Howard has 1/4 of his skills, if all we’re doing tonight is measuring skills.

Yes, better defender, without a doubt. Duh, Barry, get with it.

Oden doesn’t have 1/4 the skills of Sam Bowie and that is a fact. Greg is a very low skilled big man that has proven to be extremely injury prone throughout both his college and pro careers. Again, another fact.

Bayless is horrible, but he wasn’t a #1 pick either.

I have to say, I’m really disappointed at the quality of the posts on here today. A bunch of jerks, shallow-thinkers, attention whores, and brats.

As for Oden, of he can keep finishing dunks, rebound, etc, he’ll score 13-15 a game and that will be plenty.

I’m curious: are the same people calling Oden a bust those who also say we can’t give up on Bayless because he’s a lottery pick?

Barry,

Leave the sarcasm to those who know how to use it.
