I decided to jump on the Greg Oden bandwagon who hasn't played a minute in the NBA yet and annoint him as the next great one.

What the hell!

Dwight Howard

He's proven. He's young. He's athletic. He's a tremendous rebounder, and he plays inside the paint and makes a living on pushing people away and dunking on them. He's a legit center with so much potential still. I can't crown Oden as I haven't seen a single NBA minute with him yet.

So untill further notice, this has to go to Dwight.

Welcome to the NBA - it hasn't been 1995 for over a decade. True centers are anachronisms.

There's only one young center in the league who possesses the whole package...

Size. Strength. Offense. Defense. Intelligence. Work ethic. And unlike some of those other brittle guys, he doesn't spend half of the time on the bench nursing injuries.

I think Dwight will be the best rebounder and scorer out of this bunch. Probably even the best player.

However Oden is going to be the one winning the rings and DPOYs. I could see 6 or so DPOY awards from the guy and 3+ rings. Thats why hes my vote for center of the future.
