Very sad situation for Oden. He needs to go to Phoenix, as they seem to have the best medical staff in all of sports, and have been known to work miracles.

It's rumored that Danny Ainge would've taken Durant too.
I remember that draft lottery party the C's had and there was ONLY talk about the next Russell. Fans woulda killed him at the time.

And how'd that turn out for Durant? The point is nobody cared about that bench press. And you're slamming a rookie who relied on jump shots to carry a TERRIBLE Sonics team? That's good stuff. The point is there were NO red flags surrounding Durant. Oden had a bunch, and it was documented.Originally Posted by Futuristic
I can't understand how some of you are so %#%@*%$ stupid. The man had legit size, athleticism and had just led Ohio State to the championship game.(with a bad wrist) You don't pass on that.
In comparison Kevin Durant couldn't bench 185 at the combine. He had the third worst vertical and worst lane drill time. The first part of his rookie year was awful. I vividly remember a post on here questioning whether he would finish shooting at 40%.
If you can't see why a team would pick Oden, then you're a moron.

Basically. You asked 30 out of 30 GM's who they would have took and every single one would have said Oden.Originally Posted by Al3xis

How were there "no red flags"? I think athleticism is a pretty big red flag given how many players have become busts because of lack of athleticism. And how am I "slamming" Durant? I'm a fan of him who is just stating facts. I don't think anyone anticipated him to be where he is right now.Originally Posted by dmbrhs

he played in 32 games and avg 15 points and 9 boards. he still lead his team in scoring and rebound while missing 8 games. you going to sit there and say ron lewis and conley where better then oden that year? YA OKOriginally Posted by Fear The Ibis
@ Oden being dominant at Ohio State.
The one year he played there he missed a bunch of games to injury too. MIke Conley carried that team. He was maybe the 3rd best player on that Ohio State team.
