Oden is going to be awesome. He is a throwback. I wish we could get him but I doubt we will. I think he will be better than David Robinson ultimately.

Defensively, a very good possibility (he'll be better than Robinson). But offensively, I don't the impression he'll be much of one.

David Robinson was putting up 30pts plus 11 rebs per night in his prime. If this kid is remotely close to the admiral he'll definitely be top 5 centers in the NBA.

Again, from what I've seen, Oden has the making of being a really strong defensive presence. Shot blocking is going to be his forte, and once he gains more bulk/muscle, he should be a rebounding presence as well. But offensively, he didn't look natural, which signals to me that scoring may not be his strong suit.
Another thing I didn't add about this kid is his free throw shooting. I don't know if it was just a fluke or not, but he made like 11 - 12 free throw attempts that game. His form does look smooth and his release was consistent, so he may really be a good FT shooter.
He also made a jumper right under the FT line and he looked pretty comfortable shooting it from that far. But he only attempted one shot, so I can't tell if its in his repetoire.
