its a shame that we have not gotten to see his post moves...the only two i have seen is vs. North Central when he backed down that kid and dunked on him in the 4th quarter, and then the dunk at the buzzer vs Dunbar....other than that he has gotten all of his points off of oops, foul shots, or rebounds...sometimes he gets the ball in the post and just goes up and dunks it, but with all the double/triple teams on him, we wont be seeing post moves for a wile.

I am not real sure about your post, but I am going to try and make sense of it. When you say he just gets it and dunks it that means that he found a way to get position so that he could get straight to the rim.

When you say with all the double/triple teams we won't be seeing post moves, well if makes good passes out of that then that is fine.

Also when watching him, you can tell he has great feet and is able to have nice post moves based on his feet.

Not to compare him to Shaq, but Shaq doesnt necessarily have great posts moves of the likes of Hakeem Olajawon, but he is so big and strong that he gets position to where he can dominate the guy that is guarding him.

Also he shows a nice touch from the foul line so a nice little hook, shouldint be out of the question, or a little turn and shoot either.

yah, he does a great job of boxing out on the defensive and offensive board...he has few weaknesses. i wasnt saying he has no post moves, im juts saying we dont get to see them at the hs level cuz of the triple teams.
i have seen all of his rivals/scout video, and trust me, his post moves are sick...he mad the D1 greyhounds center look stupid on one occasion.

Oden has been selected to play in The Jordan All-American Classic, at Madison Square Garden on 4/22/06. Oden will be unable to attend, no reason given.

Hasn't Oden already agreed to play in another all-star game besides the McDonald's All-American Game? If that is the case, high school kids are only aloud two all-star games and that would put him over the limit. That may explain why he is unable to attend.
