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
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.
And Ainge was going to take Durant. That is a fact.

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

the last two centers that led their teams to championships had "it" from the beginning.Originally Posted by WJuN15
its hilarious how all of you guys are saying it was such a dumb pick when 95% of the world said oden was the consenus number 1 pick at the time. bill simmons was mad salty that celts didn't get the number 1 pick. u seen all those celts fans crying when they didn't get the number 1 pick...
all the ppl that said durant over oden were just average nba fans that didn't know big men>scoring wing man to win championships. and then now since they got lucky they say "they should've listened to me!!!"
