For months on here this has been a burning question, who's better and who deserves the No. 1-overall pick, Greg Oden or Kevin Durant.
And the consensus on here has seem to overwhelmingly favor Durant, and those who do all point to the statistics.
Yes, Durant averaged 25.1 points and 11.4 rebounds per game to Oden's 15.7 and 9.6.
But no one ever mentions the fact that Oden missed the first seven games and played with his right (shooting) hand heavily taped the entire season. And for most of the season, Oden was shooting with his off (left-hand) including free throws.
Durant wouldn't averaged what he did if he had wrist surgery and had to endure the rehab process.
Sure, Durant is a great athlete, a great scorer, and fun to watch, but, he's not a complete player. He's not a great defender.
Also, no one mentions the fact that Ohio State went further in the tournment than Texas.
