    he was a black comedian. I think that's what these tweets mean, but I may be wrong.

    Kind of interesting cuz a couple of mock drafts had Rockets picking him or being interested in him.

    I think the perceptions of Aldrich are that he's not very good because he's not very good.

    Athleticism and speed. He has neither and you can't cut it in this league without it.

    I can tell these guys aren't quite paying attention to things.

    Oden w/o shoes - 6,11
    Aldrich w/o shoes - 6,9

    Oden's wingspan - 7'4. 25
    Aldrich's wingspan - 7'4.75

    Oden's weight - 257
    Aldrich weight - 236

    Oden's standing reach - 9'4
    Aldrich's weight - 9'3.5

    Oden's body fat - 7.8
    Aldrich's body fat - 8.5

    Oden's No Step Vert - 32 (Max vert - 34)
    ALdrich's No Step Vert - 23 (Max vert-28)

    Oden's lane agility - 11.67
    Aldrich's Land Agility - 11.48

    Oden's 3/4th court sprint - 3.27
    Aldrich's 3/4 court sprint - 3.35




    Also add in the fact that Oden probably got most of his hype from the NCAA tournament. It's also a funny argument, because Aldrich pre-combine and even all the way back during the season was projected as high as five. Most of all, the reality of situation is that Oden was just a better player than Aldrich coming out of the college with more NBA potential.

    As freshman player, Oden was already 15.7 and 9 rebound player. If he were stay in college (now he would be a senior, this past season). I suspect he would easily be the first pick again without the injury problems.

    He reminds me of a thinner Big Country.

    Thatsalotsa stats:

    We'd be lucky to get Joe Kleine. He still had an NBA job at 38.
