 lukey mentioning the ambidexterousness of oden reminded me of the fact that I had been calling Mcroberts of my beloved Dukies overrated and worthless, however, after watching him more this season I think he will actually be a decent NBA player. (No superstar potential but I think he could be a good asset for someone) He is great on the defensive end and the fact that he too is ambidexterous (I think even more so than oden) I think with his size, athleticism, and use of both hands he'll be able to be a post threat in the NBA. and given that no one knows how to post up anymore at the next level this is a huge plus. I see him as a david lee but with more size and better defense and the fact that Im high on David Lee is making me come back around on Mcroberts.


As for Oden, I would still take Durant, but the thing is is that Oden is swarmed by 3 people every time he touches the ball. And its not a gradual swarm. Pretty much once that entry pass goes up they start running at him. Its like what yao faces without mcgrady in the game and what shaq used to see without kobe. Actually in college they are willing to leave you and double down even harder since youre not spaced as much as the NBA due to the fact the 3 pt line in college is a joke. Lets say they put a rule in place saying you can double but not triple Oden and you can only do it a reasonable amount of times. What kind of numbers would he be putting up then? See Durant you cant really double and triple like Oden cuz he plays like a guard. Oden can still score on anyone in college and most guys hed be matched up with in the NBA. Considering hell see substantially more one on one opportunities in the NBA and will just continue to get mauled in college we may not be able to see the "true" Oden until he makes the leap. That hand injury on his primary hand isnt helping things either.

I am SO ready for March Madness .... and ...........................
