Dude, I'm a better version of Adam Morrison.
Re: Noah, Durant and Oden
I think your underrating Oden's ability to score he will average double digits in points and more than 6 boards as a rookie.

We have an NBA prospect sticky thread. Why this couldnt be added there? Mystery, call Scooby Doo and them.

Co-Sign this, i think he has the potential to be as dominating as Shaq in the future.

[B]Rookie[/B]- 5 PPG 4 RPG

[B]NBA Comparison[/B]-Kurt Thomas, Udonis Haslem.[/QUOTE]
Have you ever watched him play? Doubters comparing Noah to Varejao have a point. Haslem? He's what, 6 inches taller?

I wasn't talking about their physical capabilities, but rather, their playing styles. I've watched Noah quite a bit, as well as Haslem, and I think they have very similar styles.
Re: Noah, Durant and Oden
I think your underrating Noah and overrating a bit on Oden.
Edit:
Never mind read it wrong.
Oden seems fine but Noah will be better then what you list him as.

Haslem doesn't block shots and he can hit the 5 footer, he's nowhere near as long or athletic as Oden relying instead on muscle (which Noah lacks). As bigs they have very little in common beyond hustle (and Noah plays with more energy) and coming out of the University of Florida.

The hustle, energy, and rebounding makes Joakim Noah who he is. It isn't that he scores a lot, because he doesn't. Noah is overrated because people are in love with his energy, and hustle. The fact that Florida has won two straight has given him a lot of national attention, as well as a lot of love that he normally wouldn't get. Big men on the big stage that can run without tripping on themselves are overrated, and GMs make that same mistake every year. Tyrus Thomas, Marvin Williams, and Adam Morrisson are prior examples, Noah and Durant will be the next two. Durant is going to be good, but he is no LeBron.

I wouldnt go that far i dont think he has the raw power to dominate like Shaq but i think he can be very good on the offensive end.
Re: Noah, Durant and Oden
Oden is the best of the 3. Durant is overrated. I haven't watched Noah all that much, he seems to have a lot of heart though.
Re: Noah, Durant and Oden
Noah is WAY overrated
He's 22 years old btw. He will be a another Varejeo. Not a bad thing, but still. He won't be as good as Kurt Thomas imo
