Not Durant. He is a great college player but may be just MAY BE a little soft. You take the 7 ft low post potential franchise player over the forward who wants to play facing the basket. No contest. THough I am not sure either one will be a superstar in the NBA.
THen again I though Wayman Tisdale would be a great NBA player a few years ago. LOL.

That is what they say. THey are comparing the big 7 footer with Ewing and all the other great ones too at this stage. We will see. I will not doubt they will be stars in the NBA.
Bowie was a bust but had major injury problems and that was compounded by them passing on Jordan. OUCH!
Sam Bowie was as soft as they come. He didn't want to post up either. He wanted to be like ralph sampson and shoot 3 point shots. Bowie and Sampson thought they could play in the N.B.A. without going inside and rebound. Not going to happen.
In high school I saw Bowie shoot 10 straight 3 point shots in practice. That's what he was doing before the game. If there was an N.B.A. scout that saw that I wonder why he got all the hype? It was obvious he was soft. Even in high school he wanted to stay outside and shoot.
Back then though it was supposed to be a sign of greatness if a 7 footer could shoot from the outside. Only Dirk has been able to get along in the N.B.A. with that talent.

He also can go one one one with the best of em. He has great touch too for a guy of his size. He will only get better and better. I did not realize he was 4th in rebounding and that is very impressive. He likes to play far from the basket andnot sure how that will play out....maybe not soft but he hangs at the top of key and that will not happen in the NBA, i do not think.
