    Greg Oden hates David Stern

    Stern just costed Oden millions, and millions and rights to being a top 3 pick.

    Oden has showed how poor hyped players can be. This guy wouldn't even be a top 15 in last years draft.

    good think for buckeye fans that he probably will be in columbus for at least 2 more years.

    Even though I hate the hype around Oden, and think Durant is the better one of the two, I think he will be in the NBA next year. You got to remember he has been playing with one good hand all season. He has tremendous upside to his game and career. He can only get better, unless he gets a serious injury. Maybe a few more years in college will help, but we all know money will sway players.

    I still feel Oden will be the #1 pick in the draft though, and will be paid according to the cap.

    So if the draft were today:

    Andrea Bargnani, LeMarcus Aldridge, Adam Morrison, Tyrus Thomas, Shelden Williams, Brandon Roy, Randy Foye, Rudy Gay, Patrick O'Bryant, Saer Sene, J.J. Redick, Hilton Armstrong, Thabo Sefolosha, Ronnie Brewer, Cedric Simmons.

    And then Greg Oden.

    Got it.
    Thanks.

    don't worry about Greg Oden's financial situation...he'll be just fine I am sure.

    durant is amazing

    however oden is better defensively and coaches LOVE a shot blocker who can rebound and move their feet

    that is why oden is so hyped

    durant is better offensively but i would rather start a franchise with oden

    I love how people are ignoring the fact that Oden is basically playing with one hand.

    And by the way, of course Thabo Sefolosha would still be drafted over Greg Oden.

    Not I, I mentioned that above. We will probably see him at his best in the NCAA Tournament. If he can handle the pressure of those big games.

    Oh I know, I'm talking about all the talking heads that say Durant has been more impressive (which he has been) and don't even mention Oden isn't 100%.
