He was a dominant center this season and looking like he was a year away from his first all-star berth.<br /><br />Let's not forget Andrew Bynum has had injury problems too and we're still high on him. Until Oden's injuries begin to limit him on the court, I don't think we have to worry about him falling off. He is still very young.<br /><br />Oden is no Sam Bowie for the simple fact that these 21 games were a better stretch than Bowie ever had in his entire career.<br /><br />Bowie had a career 14.2 PER and his high was 16.4. Oden had 23.3 PER this year and 18.8 last year. He still has a ways to go before reaching bust status. Even taking his injuries into account, the list of players in the 07 draft with better careers than Oden is very short. It's basically limited to Durant (2nd pick) and Horford (3rd pick, not as good but healthier). This IS a draft that saw Mike Conley (4), Yi Jianlian (6), Corey Brewer (7), Brandan Wright (8), Acie Law (11), and Julian Wright (13) go in the lottery.Rashidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15415749685735306421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4919554729805931143.post-20844085493826163582009-12-07T13:03:34.600-05:002009-12-07T13:03:34.600-05:00I think Oden is destined to end up as one of the N...I think Oden is destined to end up as one of the NBA's biggest what if scenarios. He was a tremendous talent coming out of high school, but it doesnt seem like he can stay healthy, and will probably never become a dominant center in the league.john brantleyhttp://www.johnbrantley.netnoreply@blogger.com
