So far...
26 Minutes
8-10 Field goals (18 points)
2-2 from the line
2 ORebounds 11 total
1 assist
1 steal
1 block
Most importantly.... NO FOULS
If he can figure out how to stay out of foul trouble... LOOK OUT!

Oden seems to be getting it. If he can stay healthy and learn not to foul he will be a darn good NBA player.

He could be a good NBA player. He has NO offensive game though, big time work needed. I want him to be great because he was hyped sooooooo much. I just don't see it happening.
Plus this is against the T Wolves. Eh

It is against the TWolves... but he is going against Al Jefferson who easily could have been an All Star last season
23.1 pts 10.9 rebounds 1.7 blocks.
And Greg Oden has done a great job against Al Jefferson tonight...
6-14 for 12 points, 4 rebounds in 28 minutes.

That is true. Al J is a stud.

Not to take away from Oden but Jefferson's not been near the same player so far this year. Still impressive. There's been a slew of 2nd year players that have shown significant improvement so far this year, Oden included. Kind of the exact opposite of a sophomore slump.

I really hope that Oden comes around, especially because he will get more interviews, and he is hilarious during interviews.

If Oden can stay out of foul trouble and not get injured he will be a force

He's an above average big man, nothing more and nothing less. I don't think he'll ever make an All Star team, but can certainly improve a team if they have players around him that can handle the scoring.

I think it is too early to rule this out.I have never been a huge Oden fan, but his performance in the national championship against Horford and Noah showed what kind of potential he has. If he works at his craft and stays healthy, I could see him in an All Star game.

Averaging a modest 10 and 9 this year in 23 mins/game. Shooting a nice 63% though.
If he can stay healthy and out of foul trouble I can see him being a 16 pt 12 reb guy.
