Kevin Durant vs Greg Oden

Which one is better in your choice?

Oden has the potential to be a big time nba center. Durant is an a great player and an amazing scorer. As far as NBA future, id say Oden is clearly superior.

Oden can be a big threat down low with both of his hands, although he didn't show it in the championship.

Durant is obviously better in terms of talent but his type of player is common in the nba. There's many scorers like him in the league. Oden, on the other hand is a lot more rare. There's not many 7 footers who come in the league as athletic as him. He's what many say come in once a decade, a true center.

Yeah, he can be great.

Kevin Durant is a whole better than Greg Oden. He is a scorer. He is a decent defensive player. He is a good rebounder. Mr. Oden is a good defensive player but he has no offense whatsoever. You have got to do more than just dunk. Until Mr. Oden learns more offense, in my opinion Mr. Oden will not be a good pro.

I think Oden will because when he is in the NBA there will not be a "dominate" center, but at Durants side, theres countless good players right now.

Oden really is not a true center, he is more of a power forward.

Why?

I'm not disagreeing or agreeing, just want to know whyt he is a PF.

To me Mr. Oden is much more of a power forward, then a center. He is too small to be a center for one thing. If he were to put on some weight, it might a different story. Furthermore his skills aren't that great at the center position until he learns more offense.

Too small? Oden is 7 feet tall and 280 pounds of lean MUSCLE. Seriously, you have questionable knowledge about this game.

Oden did well in the game. 25 points, 12 rebounds, and 4 blocks. Those are some nice stats.

The word "great" should not have even been mentioned anywhere in this topic regarding either player.

If I had first pick in this years draft I would take Durant, he is obviously more talented than Oden and at 6'9 he could really be a force in this league.

More talented---Yes, but in Oden's case nobody else would dominate him when he gets to the NBA.

it depends what you need. Yea durant was a dominant scorer in college. He will likely be a very good scorer in the nba too, but he wont dominate. Oden has a chance at being a great true center, which is a lot more valuable.

Exactly.

kevin durant is way better, oden has been overrated all year long. his offense is ok... his defense is good not great.. durant on the other hand is amazing on offense, and good on defense.. oden was surrounded by talent, durant didnt have near as much talent with him yet he still shined. durant > oden

Well put.

yea except everything im saying is based on NBA potential not college dominance. No one is gonna say oden did better than durrant last year. But Oden showed what he can do with 25 points, 12 rebounds, and 4 blocks against florida in the championship. Oden is also a solid FT shooter. He has all the makings of a great center.

NBA--Oden
NCAA--Durant

Size matters. 😉
