Well I like Greg Oden a lot and is one of my favorite college players right now. As far as this year, it's been hard to tell because of his right hand injury. But he has been pretty decent playing injured and has really shown some great defensive awareness and presence for Ohio State. His offensive game is pretty limited and doesn't have a large arsenal of low-post moves. But he has a lot of talent and just needs to develop it. His foul shooting is superb for a big man. I remember watching the game where he hit 9 out of 10 free throws.....and that was with his opposite hand! That goes to show how versatile he is. And the last part of the question, how will he be in the nba. That's a tough question because it's hard to predict how college players will do. You can't really tell how they will do in the nba because it's a whole different league. But I think Greg will do well and become a player similiar to Emeka Okafor, Dwight Howard, etc. I just wish the best of luck to Greg and hopefully he'll join my Lakers.....which he probably won't.

I think Greg Oden is a very good College player. However Due to his lack of offensive moves in the low post I do not think he is an immediate star in the Nba. Greg Oden Has a lot of potential to be a star in the NBA only if he can remain healthy and develope his low post game, Because he is not going to be able to just over power NBA power forwards and Centers so easily.With Solid coaching and a few years under his belt Greg Oden will be a very solid Nba Player.

Greg Oden will be the 1st pick in the next draft. He's got the body to match-up against any other big man in the league. If he can develop the outside jumper his game will be comparable to Tim Duncun's. He'll most likely be a future all-star type player year in and year out...so far this year he's had to deal with injury and has shown signs of being just a freshman, but by tournament time, he'll be playing ball at an NBA level.

ummm..i think he is overrated bc of his size and age...yes he is good, but i think he will struggle in the NBA, but i would pay to see Oden go up againt Yao or some other ligatement centers in the NBA, even though Oden isnt tech a center, he will play Center in the NBA and he will struggle for a while...he would need to go to a good team inorder to be anything in the NBA
