Lets say that the team was the Memphis Grizzlies or the Boston Celtics, since they have similar needs. Who would be your pick

Greg Oden. Size, fundamentals, great work ethic and good moves for his 7ft. frame. Kevin Durant and Joakim Noah are great college basketball players and will be good in the NBA, but Greg Oden will be a dominating center in the NBA for a long time. I would definitely build my team around him.

Greg Oden. Oden could dominate the way a Hakeem Ojawaon or Patrick Ewing did. Noah maight be too small in terms of bulk to be an incredible great guy. Durant is a sturdy shooter, yet his form is a dime a dozen indoors the NBA

Greg Oden because a player like him can become better than shaq. a player like durant and noah will come in the next few years but oden is unique.

the grizzles take durant and keep pau but move pau to center hes like 7 foot and put warrik at power forward and durant at small forward they then switch to more of a fast break offense and watch aas their front court out runs every other in the league
the celts take oden because hes a guy who scores rebounds blocksshots changes gameplans intimidates and doesnt come across as a thug unlike durant who unfairly is seen as such oden is a public face as well as a game day leader of a franchise

Joakim Noah over Durant. just cos Noah won a championship and this year they've been consistent. he can play both center and forward. plays inside very well and shoots too. he's similar to duke's josh mcroberts but still very consistent. Durant is very good but his team doesn't win consistently. i give him a year more and he'll be better. oden is a good player but still needs experience to be able to help any team that selects him this year. Noah is the most experience and i feel he is ready to play in the NBA and would be able to help n e team that selects him.

I think that I would take Greg Oden. He has a very rare body type that is hard to come by, and he has lots of raw talent including rebounding, blocking shots, and because of his injury he can now shoot a lefty jump hook. These are things that a lot of rookies struggle with. I could see Oden becoming a skinnier version of Shaq.

I would take Oden first followed by Durant.
Oden is playing with his off hand, when he is all the way healed he will be a force.
