1	(Edited by kantwistaye) So JJ Redick is a pompous whiny b****? Never would have guessed that. Absolutely stunned. That's almost as unpredictable as him being a complete and total bust. Who would have seen that?!?

I never thought Oden would be much more that a Defensive player and a rebounder that had a chance to develop a hook shot or something like that. I don't remember hearing anyone saying he'd be the next Shaq. Joel "Tha Thrilla" Pryzbilla sucks..... he's only good for 8-9 rebounds and 6 fouls a game. And I think that Rudy Fernandez is going to be a better player than Durant, but more importantly he fits in in Portland better than Durant would.

0	lol.... that comment about Pau Gasol was kind of funny but for the life of me I can't figure out why!?!

0	He'll probably have a better career than Andrew Bogut and Andrea Bargnani (who are both busts as #1's IMO)

0	10 points per game is still pretty bad for a #1 overall draft pick.

0	Sorry, but Bogut fans will wish that he had Oden's numbers because he'll match Bogut in boards and assists while getting more blocks. Oden will end up being a player very similar to Tyson Chandler, who everyone will agree is a much better player than Bogut, and when paired with the right set of players will average around 17 points.

There's nothing to base that satement off of.... Oden missed one season and now he'll be lucky to play in 50 games a season??? He played at Ohio State while having a broken wrist and came back early from his ankle sprain this season so there's really more evidence that he can be around for the long haul than him being another Bill Walton. And everybody knows that Bogut is every bit the waste of carbon that you think Camby is. I'd take Camby or Chandler or even Eddy Curry over Bogut. If I remember correctly he doesn't even start for the Austrailian national team (but I'm not sure about that because, lets face it, Bogut sucks and I don't really care if he's even breathing at the moment).

0	Not only does Oden have the frame of a mummy, but he looks like he was just unwrapped too. Dude does not look like he's only 21, maybe 71. And Bogut is actually from Australia, he has the accent and everything.
