    I think Greg will be up at 315 lbs or so. He has the frame to handle it.

    I keep hearing Oden has soft hands. I can't think of a player but trying to picture a power center who could catch anything thrown to him.

    Dwight Howard?

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Shaq had great hands for catching passes.

    Bynum is another center with very good hands.

    I think the Shaq + Ewing comparison is pretty good.

    His footwork doesn't seem as nimble as Shaq, but his hands and raw power is right up there. But I think he'll have a better midrange game than Shaq, and should be able to hit that 15 foot jumper from all angles.

    I see Greg as a mix between Dwight Howard on Offense and Dekembe Mutumbo on Defense.
