Herbert - NY: 5 years time - Brook Lopez, Greg Oden or Marc Gasol? David Thorpe: (12:03 PM ET ) Based on what we've seen, I like the order you have them in. Oden's health is the x factor. JC in Cleveland: David, Who is your biggest sleeper player in this year's playoffs? The guy who no one talks about but is gonna be heard from in a major way? David Thorpe: (12:12 PM ET ) Leaning to Oden. Jon (NYC): How about Ike Diogu? That was a serious out of nowhere blow-up a couple nights back. Will he ever get big minutes or was that just garbage day? What's his problem -- his per48s are always fantastic? Doug (Portland, OR): I care about Portland and Denver... Do you thing the refs allow Oden to play more physical since its "The Playoffs"??? David Thorpe: (12:35 PM ET ) Yes.
Given minutes, Diogu can be a poor man's version of Zach Randolph for a bad team. Or, he's a bench player on a good team.
