Oden vs. Durant
This post is a little late but I haven't been able to get on BP until now.
Today on PTI, Oden was compared to Kevin Durant. They were favoring Durant because of his "steller" performance last night in the Oklahoma State vs. Texas game. They were saying Durant could be an NBA player, but they weren't giving anything to Oden, though they did give Oden a little bit of slack because he was playing with his left hand. What do you think about this?
I dont think they can compare the two right now because Oden isnt 100% healthy with his right hand. It wouldnt be fair to say Durant is better when Oden is playing basically with only his left hand. When he is healthy, then it would be fair to compare the two.

I don't know....
Durant is helped by the talent around him as is Oden...although I think Durant has a bit more of an outside touch than Oden does, I think one on one, Oden would win the inside battle....

Durant is the focal point of the Texas team, he plays multiple positions for them and gets the ball in his hands a ton....
Oden is not 100% and he is limited to the center position.....
Its not a fair comparison other than both are very talented and both are going to be lottery picks.......

Right, i would say Durant does have a better outside shot but we havent been able to really see Oden take the outside shot (if he ever does) because he doesnt have the right hand to shoot his best with. But inside i would definately take Oden over Durant for size and toughness.

Doug Gottleib siad Durant was the best player in CBB, but Oden was the better pro prospect.
He compared Durant to KG and said Durant's a much better shooter than KG was at the same age.
