Pgard,
You bring up soem great points. He'd be a fool not to come out regardless. When you got the hype-machine on your side, you gotta jump. Same for Durant. With all of the media scrutiny out there, just imagine how bad a minor knee injury could be for either him or Durant if they go back to school next year.
As for Oden's game at the next level, I think it'll start out a lot like Dwight Hoard or Chris Bosh. He'll board and block a lot, but the scoring won't be there right away. That will come down the road, maybe like 2-3 seasons into it.
One other point- If Mike Conley Jr. has a big game in the national title, don't be surprised if he jumps to the NBA too. It would take a huge effort, beut he's capable of it.
