- Vote: What has been the biggest stumbling block for Greg Oden?
- Chats: NBA Insider Chad Ford takes your questions, 1 p.m. ET.
All right, so more than 70 percent of SportsNation thinks Vince Young has a brighter future than Greg Oden, but could Portland's big man be the next to start living up to expectations? Oden went for 24 points and 12 rebounds Monday night against the Bulls, and while that's merely a good scoring half for Kevin Durant, it was a career high for Oden, the guy picked ahead of him. Speaking of Durant, it can't help Oden to have him around for such comparisons. Consider how SportsNation felt about the two on the eve of the 2007 draft.
- 59 percent said take Oden over Durant with the No. 1 pick.

- 69 percent believed Oden's talent was on par with Shaq, Hakeem and Duncan.
To this point, it's not even clear Oden is better than Hakim Warrick, but he is just 21 years old. So putting Durant aside for at least a few years, how about a more reasonable comparison. Would you rather have Oden or Andrew Bynum as a young post?

If there was ever a right time to break a foot for an NFL star, Hakeem Nicks picked right time. Sounds odd but true.
