If everyone can stay healthy this season and be around playoff time, i really think that portland could bring home a CHAMPIONSHIP. i think that its a tie between oden and batum. oden was already breaking out before he got hurt last year. i mean this guy was blocking any shot near him and dunking on anyone in his way. not many people can say “i scored on greg oden”. and oden does average 16.7 points, 12.8 rebs, and 3.4 blocks, with a .605 FG% per 36 minutes. if oden doesnt get injured this year, i see him as a all-star starter at center, and i dont care if yao is back. and i cant wait to see oden and camby in at the same time, they could be the greatest defensive duo down low EVER!

If he gets the time to show it, I think he could make big strides this season. Agreed, but I’d even add Dante to that list.
