Greg Oden is a large individual, which means he’ll eat up alot of real estate on the defensive end, and will also alter shots and grab rebounds. But he’s never been that polished of an offensive player. Perhaps working with the likes of Alonzo Mourning will help that.
Since retiring, Zo has remained affiliated with the Heat and will working out with Oden. Not sure if Oden will be able to absorb any of this, but it can only be good for his developement, seeing how he’s barely played so far.
“Extremely excited, extremely excited,” he said by phone, “because I understand the potential that he has….
“I think we all, as an organization, are looking forward to working with him, developing him, so that he can be a part of this organization for years to come….
“I know that if healthy, the impact that he can have on this franchise,” Mourning said. “Just him being 25 years old, I feel that the longevity of the possibility of him playing, that longevity will continue to stimulate a winning opportunity with the organization.”
