I want to see it, but I wouldn't put it past Oden. The stories of his workout regimen and recovery from the injury have been impressive. I heard he put on somethingl like 20 pounds of muscle since the injury, and he was already a pretty built guy coming out of college.
who cares, they're different players! completely different. Oden, from what ive seen, is a much more defensive player than dwight, so being "stronger" or more "powerful" has nothing to do with it, it's all skill. I dont think you can make the argument for either of them because, oden hasnt even played before, and dwight hasnt been playing very long either. They will both be great in their own right, of course dwight will, but we havent seen oden yet, but mostlikely he will be a really good defensive center, and a good scorer too. oden reminds me of shaq, where as dwight reminds me of Duncan, more finese you know, more emphasis on footwork. oden is just a huge, huge guy who you cant contain the whole time, as dwight is sometimes, but he is still only 6'11", if that, and has a much smaller frame than oden, yes he has big shoulders and muscles, but his torso and hips and legs arent wide like odens, like shaqs, etc.
