they are both great players, Durant is amazing on offense pretty much scores at will, but I would have to take Oden over him. Has anyone seen Durant play any D? He doesn't and i think that when he gets in the league it will be exposed when he just can't stand in the middle of the lane in a zone he is going ot have to match up with someone. He may score his points but whoever he is guarding will have just as many, and that is why i say Oden over Durant. Oden gets it done on both ends.

Not to mention the fact that he's thin as a rail. Until he bulks up, he'll just get pushed around in the NBA, and that will decrease his effectiveness enormously.

i don't agree with "enormously." sure, he needs to add some bulk. considering, however, that he just turned eighteen, it's very likely that he'll add muscle and overall weight. regardless, his future impact will not be determined by his weight or strength. as a 3/4 with the wingspan of a 5, he'll create a lot of problems for his opponents in the money league, offensively and defensively.

It's hard reguardless of your wingspan to cause problems on defense with your arms at your side. |

Who watches the NBA for defense anyway? 
He'll be fine as he matures.

Oh, man. I cannot understand how anyone could watch Stevie Nash and the Suns and make this comment. Great team hoop is being played by that team; Utah Jazz is really good too. |
