oden will be an excellent pro. when he gets in shape and once his game adjusts...

that portland team is going to be SCARY good in a year or so.

Oden's injury enabled them to scoop up an extra top tier lottery pick to add to an already young and exciting team....

That's a pretty dominant stat line for 20 minutes. You know he'll rebound and block shots, so what you need to look for is his scoring, which looks good so far. If he averages 15ppg or more this season, that Portland team will be hard to beat. He still needs to work on his fouls it look like. Probably a matter of him deciding which shots are worth going after for a block.

Hopefully, as he gets his stamina back, he cuts down on his fouls.
