Greg Oden of Ohio State seem to be making the most of his mandatory freshman year in college. This guy clearly makes everyone else look like a child on the court. My first impression is that either this guy is not very impressive or he is simply not trying very hard.
With his wrist surgery in June, more than likely he is just coasting. His numbers are not very impressive and he seems very disengaged offensively. The hype likens him to Bill Russel, but Russ looked like he was hustling all of the time. With his quick transition to the NBA next year, Oden had better develop some moves to the basket or he will be eaten alive.
Blocking shots and grabbing boards is effortless at his size in college. Oden has unlimited potential, but looking like a 40 year old Kareem just doesn't cut it for an 18 year old. The NCAA tourney is made for Oden to shine. Lets see if we are treated to a rare glimpse of a future NBA stud crushing college competition.
