Two of the most versatile players in the league. Who would you rather have on your team?

I think Odoms has better talents and is more skilled, but Turk shows up m0re consistently so i'd go with him

I am not sure if Odom beats out Hedo on talent since both can do many thinks but Hedo has a way better shot and not mention the clutchness factor... so my vote is Hedo.

Odom
Thank you for all the memories BRoy. You were a class act and brought hope to an entire region for 5 years. You will be missed.

i think you an certainly argue that Hedo has more "talent" and "skill" but this is a tough comparison...

for me I have to ask who would I rather have distributing the ball, taking control of a game and holding the ball at the end of the game...

This is a tough one for me.

Odom is a better rebounder, passer, ball handler, post up player and probably the better defender.

Turk is the better shooter, space spreader, clutch player.

It just depends on what your team needs I guess.

If Bynum comes back, I'd rather have Turk on the Lakers.

No way Odom has a better handle than Hedo... maybe he is the more creative passer but not ball handler....

Lamar was our PG the last 2 years for the Lakers.

Good for him... :D
Hedo is the point for the Magic this year & he started his career as a PG. I am not arguing he is the better passer but his handles are not worse than Odom... trust me.

That's the problem with looking at stats. Turk didn't improve his game this year. He was just used differently.

Hedo because he is a better playmaker and is pretty clutch

i agree.

he's not a young boy. he was always clutch. (remember his big shot against dirk's germany in european championship) he was always a good passer, a good ball handler and as an european- a good shooter.

Turk. Odom could not even handle being a #2 option. Odom is a role player, Hedo is not.

Right now(with Bynum out), i'd much rather have Lamar. He controls the glass, Hedo doesn't. If Bynum wasn't injured, i'd take Hedo. He's a far better shooter, Lamar is inconsistent as it gets.

I said Odom was not one in both threads, because he is not one.

yeah, but either lewis isn't or turk isn't either so your comment is completely irrelevant in one of the threads.
