I'm in a roto league and was faced with this decision last night.

I picked Greg Oden over Emeka Okafor because..

A.) It's now or never for Greg Oden. Especially after Durant had a breakout season last season. I don't think that much space for failures at this point of his career.

B.) As good as Emeka is, Greg Oden can be a way better PF/C player than Emeka. Especially now with enough experience and enough failures to prove his critics wrong.

C.) I can't see how Chris Paul, as good as he is, can make Emeka a better ball player in Hornets. With the fact that David West and Emeka Okafor has a pretty similar offensive game.

What do you think?

What are your projected stats for Greg Oden?

Thanks!

Greg Oden - 13/9 1.8 blks
Emeka Okafor - 16/11 2.2 blks

I would go with Okafor. If Paul can make Tyson Chandler seem that great, he can certainly do the same for Okafor. Plus Oden is a much bigger injury liability.

Okafor with 11 rebounds? Remember that he's playing with a good remember PF like David West, who averages close to 9rpg.
