Greg Oden = Michael Olowokandi.

You heard it here first.

Oden is better right now than The Candy Man ever thought about being, and that isn't even taking into account his upside that GM's are just drooling over. I think absolute worst case scenario for Oden (barring a serious injury) is a Mutumbo like career. I believe most here would agree that Mutumbo had a little more serviceable career in the NBA than Candy is having.

I think people are getting carried away when evaluating Oden's defensive downside. Mutombo was one of the best defenders in the league. Oden COULD be that great, but defensively thats certainly not his worst case scenario. I'd say that defensively his worst case scenario would be something like Samuel Dalembert.
