now no.. but I still think he has the upside to be. Not as many points.. but more on Defense and Boards.
At defense and rebounding? Certainly At staying on the floor and on offense? Not so much. Overall Bynum has the edge because he's an OK defender, a good low post scorer and a a pretty good rebounder, not too mention he can mange to stay out of foul trouble and stay on the floor. Oh wait, I guess you were expecting people to flip out and go ballistic on you? Sorry.
He's always been better than Bynum at the comparable stage in the NBA. So, yes. He's also obviously more valuable to his team than Bynum. Exactly how much did Bynum contribute in the playoffs last year, when he was actually healthy for a change?
I think Bynum is better at defending away from the basket especially in the pick & roll. He's really improved in that aspect of his game. Oden is a better defender at holding position in the post though. I'd say Bynum is closing the gap at rebounding. Bynum has taken strides there this season and is finally taking some pride at going after missed shots instead of just standing there waiting for the ball to come to him.
Greg is a better defender and rebounder. Bynum is a better offensive player. But, with Bynum's greater experience - I would not be surprised to see Oden get to his level or higher on offense as well. He is much more of a beast, athletically, and is much stronger - once he figures it out - he will be able to score just as much as Bynum even if he does not develop the skill/foot-work, simply because of his ability to move people by sheer force.
Overall, Bynum is better at the moment, but Oden is not that far behind. By the end of this season, the debate will be much closer. 2 years from not, Bynum will clearly be second to Oden.
Is Kaman still better than Bynum? Sample size means a lot... Also, give Oden the same number of games as Bynum and we'll see.
Cause one person's opinion is the collective agreement of every Blazer fan? Nice job picking one post to reply too... did you bother reading the rest or are you just looking for the one post to start a scene on the board? GTFO.
OH SNAP, YOU SHOULD ME!! Oh wait, its the internet, and insults don't work at all. You are a moderator?
You are full of crap if you think it's only me. Nikolokolus, rocketeer, Natebishop3, KingSpeed and andalusian all said similar things to me.
