Yea that Tyson Chandler is really struggling with his max contract and 12 rebounds per game.

Oden is only 18, you have to take that into account. And yes, 7 foot interior post presences are still a rarity, especially ones who can shoot free throws left handed and has great hands. He's also coming off a hand injury and starting playing like 2 months early because he wanted to help his team out. He still isn't fully healthy. He will be an All Star in the NBA (and so will Durant one would think).
Interesting debate, but I think you might be selling Mr Oden a bit short at this point. And damn, can that boy grow a solid ass beard!!!
