I'm not going to lie: I have a major problem with all 3 of them.
Not a little problem; a major problem.
Bynum: I know it's not his fault, but this injury would scare me away from choosing him to build a franchise around. Like I said, I know it's not hisfault, but it's a major concern.
Oden: repeat what I said about Bynum. But there's something else, too: dude doesn't like basketball. Some of you that have no idea about that are goingto laugh, but it's true. He's said it quite a few times; he plays ball to pay the bills, that's it. I would question myself for making him thecenter (pun intended) of my franchise.
Howard: Like Stan Van Gundy said back in like February, Dwight Howard should NEVER have a stretch of 7 games where he only records a half-dozen blocks(COMBINED, for ALL SEVEN GAMES) and under 10 rebounds for those 7 games. That should never, EVER, not EVER happen.
Obviously, I'm a Bynum fan. He's been a great asset to the Lakers, and I love the improvements he's made since coming into the league. We (Lakerfans) questioned the pick when he was selected, and then we (collectively, not everyone individually) wanted him gone last year when we learned that the Netswanted him for Kidd. But he has made significant strides in improving his game, and now we (Laker fans) all love him.
HOWEVER, this injury would make mequestion myself for choosing him as the center (pun intended) of a franchise I was building from the bottom up.
And yes, I'm an Oden fan. I liked him at OSU for some reason, and I think he'll be great with POR next year. HOWEVER, this injury combined with thefact that he doesn't really love basketball would make me question myself for choosing him as the center of a franchise I was building from the bottom up.
And I'm most DEFINITELY a Howard fan; dude is a beast, seems to be a nice guy, seems to have a good attitude. HOWEVER, the stretches where he seemsuninspired and unmotivated would make me question myself for choosing him as the center of a franchise I was building from the bottom up.
But if I absolutely HAD to pick one of the 3, it would be Dwight Howard.
