He had no offensive game in college and unless they have some miracle workers on the Trailblazers coaching staff, I wouldn't expect much of an improvement. He isn't in the same league offensively as Bynum. I maintain he can't warm up Bynum when it comes to total skills and what they will both accomplish in their respective careers.

Total skills? bynum has played in over 150 pro games over 3 seasons compared to 13 minutes by oden. Yeah, bynum wins the skills portion of the competition after 13 minutes in the pros and 20 games in college for Oden. That makes a lot of sense.
Rebounds are a huge part of the game. Defense is a huge part of the game. Perhaps he will never be a dominant offensive player but he can dominate from the defensive end of the court and get his points off the boards. Why do so many people not understand that?
Expectations are amazing for a kid who has played 13 minutes. In 13 minutes we have one guy that says he is an "underachiever" (that was the award winner) and others say that he will never be a good offensive player.
The same thing happened when Lebron came out. People compared him to Kobe right away and thats just not fair. Compare them now.
