Agree with Buddha here. The other comparisons are that both can take over a game when needed, but Odom is never passive so he will be that consistent number two scoring option and is never afraid to take it to the hoop. Still getting back into game shape right now, but he was close to a double-double last year in pts and boards. As Buddha says, better defense out of Tay and he avoids injuries. With that being said, Odom might be a better fantasy player though.
