Oden is so typical of a great talent, out of focus player. He looks so good, and then so bad. Still would have to take him 1st in the draft. But 82 games, plane flights, distractions with a lot of free time. I dont know with him. Durant would make the transition easily. But Oden... you just dont find 7 foot men with that much athletic talent. He is so strong, he has such quick feet, pretty good touch. I dont see how an NBA team can pass him.
But Oden is not a lock for dominance like Shaq, Duncan, Ewing, Hakeem, Robinson. Those first pick big men had all the teams drooling. Because of his lack of focus, Oden may drool more than the teams. I wish I knew some more about him. He seems like a decent kid, in a Man's body (especially face).
