I'm not a fan...
Blazers just need to run Pryzbilla and Aldridge and call it a night.

He has a ways to go before he's what people were saying he could be before he entered the NBA draft.

He just needs sometime to grow up...the kids my age still...give him a chance!!!

partly agree your OP.

But look at Andrew Bynum.
He has crazy athelete ability and potential but he was always sick.(I has been really suspicious he will be healthy)

The point is if someone has certain forwarded to something, it is really really hard to fix that.

And all the legend Center position player's Debut season was crazy.(then they grew up and up)


Think about these players.Hakeem Olajuwon, Patrick Ewing, David Robinson, Shaquille O'neal and Alonzo Mourning.

They did over 20 pts and 10 reb from rookie season.But how about Oden?
(Furthermore, there were many crazy center players around post-80's and pre-90's.
And another crazy PF Players were there,too !
But there are only 2 crazy center(even they can't reach 90's the craziest titans though) players now..Ming and DH12...)

Some People said " Greg Oden will be legend Center player like Patrick Ewing !"

But As comparison(using basketball-reference comparison), he is worse than 40 years old Dikembe Mutombo..at least now.



Yes if he grows up in the future, he would be like type of Ben Wallace.
(Of course, he is bigger than Ben though)

But that's all. And we don't know even about that. Just assuming..


IF he can't grow up more, he would be like journey man Olowokandi.
(But Olowokandi didn't have much prospect like Oden. and Kevin Durant was second pick. In 1998, Mike Bibby was second pick.)

It will be future of Oden.




P.S. : The reason why some people(especially in my country) thought Oden like that high prospect,
I think it would be from a few pictures and highlights movie like this.
(But picture is like NBA mix and NCAA is only NCAA. NCAA is not NBA
and NBA is not NBA Street game from EA. IF NBA Street Vol. 4 is released, I will pick Greg Oden at Game. lol)


















Yes I have been ZO's fan so I have this mix...
BTW Can Greg Ninja Oden do like below video in his rookie and sophomore season?
(Below Video was released around 1994 so that mix video could include only 2 season of ZO's activity)
