not who will be the first pick.......there are other factors involved such as what does the team need.....who do you think is more valuable to their team in college right now.....or who is the better player overall?

I CLEARLY STATED THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH WHICH 1 WILL BE THE 1ST PICK IN THE DRAFT........which one is the more valuable player right now at the college level

kevin is averaging more assists and rebounds but greg gets about one more block per game than him. kevin can handle the ball, has far better range than greg, and has incredible mobility. oden is a good prospect but you make no mistake, durant is the truth!

I'm a Big 12 guy living up in Jayhawk country and while Kevin Durant is an awesom player and puts up amazing numbers night in and night out. Greg Oden is the better player for his team, his defensive presense alters other teams game plans he averages almost 4 blks/game and 10 rebounds. Durant is not as dominate on the defensive end as Oden is at the moment with Kevins skill and willingness to put the work in Durant could develop by the end of the year to be more benificial to his team.

Potentially Kevin Durant can be the next Kevin Garnett if he bulks up a lil. Greg Oden is being compared to David Robinson, even though David Robinson couldn't play defense at all. I remember the old school bulls and Dennis Rodman would handle the admiral.
Since im a bulls fan i go with Greg Oden and I firmly believe that he could be the next great big man. I mean he could of been on the United States team this year.
But if i wanted to start a team like the memphis grizzlies or charolette bobcats, then i would go with Kevin Durant, the kid does shot the J and rebounds like no other. Plus he plays mean defense.

Oden got injured and Durant has a good year. Durant should be the rookie of the year. I think Oden can surpass Durant but it might take him a few years but if all depends on how healthy both guys can stay in the next few years. in the end, I think Durant will still have a better career than Oden.

The monster big man- Oden- has always had a greater impact on the college level. This is how Sam Bowie gets drafted ahead of Michael Jordan. Durant has had big game after big game and Texas is going no where fast. I think Oden is more valuable because Ohio State is in the driver's seat for a one seed and final four trip where Texas might be one and done.

2 great players and it's going to be a tough choice. oden was a the consensus pick but durant is making a case for himself. anyway i still say oden even though he has been hurt. i just think that there is no way a team passes up a big man that comes ever decade. this guy can be the next david robinson. you can never have too many big men.

Potentially, Oden. But Durant could make a huge impact in the team that pick him right away.

Kevin Durant can go inside and can shoot the outside shot whether he's open or not... Greg Oden is definately a force inside, it takes a lot to stop him... My pick is Kevin Durant

Im a huge Celtics fan so I have to go with Oden. But if I were the Memphis with the option I would take Durant.
