You don't remember the player that lead us to the national title game and put 25-12 up against Noah and Horford; all with a broken hand?Laley23;1737156 wrote:I agree.
I'm on record as saying I'd go #1 overall with him. He has it all, especially at the NBA level. Shooting, ball handling, driving, mid-range and most underrated portion...unreal vision and ability to execute a pass from that vision.
He is, IMO, the best pure basketball player in the draft.
I won't say better than Oden, because I think what Oden did and how good he was has been reduced by his following NBA career to the point we forget a lot of his 1 year at OSU. I'm included in that. I don't remember HOW GOOD he was exactly, but know it was good enough that I won't pass judgement on a comparison. He is no doubt better than anyone else to come through though. All the way back to and including Michael Redd.
Oden's pro career was trash but he absolutely was a beast in college.
