Another monster:

Kevin Durant

Both players are going to be dominant in the NBA next year.

46% from the field, 92% from the line, and almost 40% from the 3-pt line :Q. Other stats include 20.4 ppg, 9.0 rpg, and 2.3 blocks per game. Very impressive.

I love our young Longhorns team. :D :beer:

Last I read, he was shooting his FT's left-handed, so it may improve as he recovers.

Seriously? I don't know if that would be smart. Yao is having an MVP-type season so far, and the Rockets can do well if Yao keeps touching the ball on every possession.

No, but I read this on the Rocket board. Rocket fans want to trade Ming for Oden.

This is the same type of fan that thought trading Elton Brand for Tyson Chandler was a good idea. Not that Oden will be a bust, but the risk and reward isn't there to trade a superstar in Yao for a potential superstar in Oden.

oden was supposed to be in the nba this year until stern got the 1 year in college rule implemented. i still think florida has a chance to repeat though.

nice to see centers returning. yao vs oden vs bynum vs shaq.

Are you referring to the long 300 post thread on the ESPN messsage board? If so, only the creator of the post really wants to trade Yao for Oden. He's always been a Yao hater. All the other fans think it's a stupid idea.

oden is beast. probably more prepped for nba right now than durant... though i think durant has more upside with his athleticism and range

Now we just need NY to have the worst record in the NBA so that Chicago can use their pick to win the Oden bowl.

But that damn Philly is looking to spoil things. Bah! (and Charlotte and Memphis too). But at least Memphis gets Gasol back to full health in under a month. And Charlotte already has a decent center.

If that happens I will find the nearest cliff and jump off (Id take Isiah with me)

That's the beauty of the lottery.

i thought oden had some loyalty to Ohio's coach. i figured he'd stay more than one year.

he looks like he's freakin 30.

as for a yao - oden trade? i doubt that. yao is bringing so much attention from china.

Yeah I pretty much thought Tyler Hansbrough was a lock for Player of the Year...and then Oden came back. Durant...not so much...give him another year to fully develop.
