Fair enough.  My point was only that assumptions were being made in order
to say that since a franchise center is more likely to win a title than a
franchise swingman, you should draft Oden.  I agree with you that Oden is
a dominant player, at least defensively, but I also think it's a fair
point of debate, and thus that boiling it down to Center vs. Swingman is
perhaps a bit over-simplified.
