So who do you take Oden or Durant **POLL**

Alright, you got the #1 pick in the draft.  All things equal, you're not drafting on position need, you're drafting whoever you think is the best player is.  So make your vote and justify that bitch...


My vote is for Durant.  I know it goes against conventional wisdom that says if you can get a high quality big, that's who you pick.  But I watched Oden a lot this year and of course he's likely gonna be an all-star caliber 5 in the league, but it just seems to me like something is missing from him.  He rarely shows any emotion, and he doesn't come off as ultra competitive to me.  I think he's gonna be good, but everybody's still talking about his potential (didn't he avg. like 12 pts a game this year?), and making excuses for why he wasn't as dominating as was hyped.

Durant on the other hand, I watched probably a bit more.  And I can honestly say in all the years I've been following college basketball Durant is def one of the greatest player's I've ever watched.  Easily the best freshman I've ever watched.  I've seen him single handedly take over games.  He can post up, he can drive, he can knock down a 25 footer like it's nothing.  I watched games where Texas was nearly single handedly carried by him.  Dude is just amazing.  So anyway, fuck what you heard, Durant's the man.

GangstaBoogy:
I would go with Durant. But I must admit, I haven't seen much of Oden. Just a few games really.

mrceo:
Dudes like Oden don't come around that often, look how big he already is, if he develops he could be the next great center and kick the shit outta Yao Ming

Hard to say but probably Durant, dude needs to hit the weight room though

LOL, word.  You look at Durant and he still looks like a kid, but yet and still plays like a fucking animal.  Just wait till he fills out a bit.  Oden is much more physically mature.
