BIG3 Week 1: Gilbert Arenas and Joe Johnson Introduction & More.

Al Jefferson vs Greg Oden

Playmaker Prediction:                                                                                                                                                                         Al Jefferson: 10 points, 6 rebounds, 1 block
Greg Oden: 8 points, 10 rebounds, 3 blocks

Greg Oden returns to basketball to play Al Jefferson in his first game.

These big men took very different paths to get here. Al had a long and promising NBA career, playing from 2004-2017 and averaged 15.7 points per game and 8.4 rebounds per game when it was all over.

Greg Oden was supposed to be the best big of his generation, but due to a series of unfortunate injuries, Greg didn’t get to play a full NBA season. Although Greg’s path to the BIG3 is unconventional, he is still a talent waiting to breakout on the pro level.

Greg Oden will have a stronger game defensively on the boards, but Al Jefferson will be the better scorer.
