I personally think Oden should go this year and Durant should bulk up win next years NCAA title and then go to the NBA. If Durant stays, he'll be joined by one of the better recruiting class' in recent years (excluding last years recruit class) for Texas. They'll have enough talent to win it all.

I think Oden and Durant will both go to the NBA. Durant would be stupid though, with all those good recruits coming in. Also, he may not be strong enough for the NBA.but if he comes back, him and Augustine could lead them to another NCAA Title. If Durant becomes a leader for Texas next year (if he comes back) he'll also have a mark as a great leader. Now Oden should just go to the NBA and earn money. He needs to stop trying to say he is trying to earn an education and just go to the NBA. Jeez. Well that is all I have to say.

Greg Oden. He has extremely high potential and was already being crowned the next Bill Russell coming out of high school. He would've gone number 1 last season if it wasnt for the rule that prevents highschool players going straight to the NBA. But hes a big, he blocks shots, he rebounds, he plays defense, he can shoot freethrows, ambidextrous as well. Guys like him don't come around often, whether he be overrated or not. Durant also has extreme potential and is an all aorund great offensive talent. But coming into the NBA he has to bulk up or he will get pushed around and just be another Shaun Livingston. But at the end of the day, Defense wins championships, and Oden is certainly an instant core to build around.

They both would be very high picks. Oden is a man child! He will go #1. Durant is awesome and has an NBA game right now but if he waits a year he bulks up and also goes #1!

They both should stay, but you start flashing those dollar signs in front of their eyes and it's all over. They both will go to the NBA. Durant will be selected first, most likely, but that could depend upone who picks first and they are trading around so much now that I can't keep up. Durant is the better all round talent.

If anyone picks Oden over Durant, they would be making the same mistake as picking Sam Bowie over a guy named Michael jordan. There is no comparasion on their games right now.

Both are headed to the draft, Most likely Oden will get picked first...Teams usually want pass on a big man...as you probally have notice theirs not to many great centers in the NBA, as of now..."you cant teach size".
