    Don't think it's fair to lump Oden in with Anthony Bennett's fat ass when Oden had franchise player written all over him if it wasn't for the injuries.

    I don't think there has ever been a bigger bust than Ryan Leaf.

    Who was that #2 pick the Grizzlies drafted? Thabeet? Something like that. The dude didn’t even play an NBA game did he?

    Does this take into consideration players taken behind them, or is it only about draft position?

    Add Darko Milicic to the list either way.

    Funny how DeJuan Blair son'd him in NCAA, was picked in the 2nd round many picks after, and did decently, making a lot of money in the NBA and playing in several deep playoff runs, considering he had no ACLs.

    Anyway, when idiots like Coach Nick were creaming their pants over the dude I was like who is this scrub



    The NCAA hype machine is real for some of these no talent ass clowns

    Oden was on the 2014 Heat team and never rang.

    Disagree - I think Oden could have been a serviceable role player, but never a franchise player even if fully healthy. Even when he was healthy, he wasn't super athletic, and he had kind of an "old man" style to his game even when he was 19 years old

    Oden was a terrible pick over Durant regardless.

    Oden for sure; a Blazers fan guy I knew cut his penis off over a bet that the Blazers would get the #1 overall pick in 2007.

    If they could have stayed healthy that Roy + Aldridge + Oden team would have been devastating. They were 50-12 in games they played together. Oden was a killer rebounder and shotblocker. He would have been tremendous for matching up against the Lakers and Spurs in that era and no way that trio doesn't ring at least once had they been able to grow together. Easy to pick Durant in hindsight but people forget Durant couldn't even bench 180 when he came in the league, so there were questions about him too at the time.

    THIS is why tanking is stupid. The whole "Process" was one massive failure. It netted them what? A few second round losses and the decline has been faster than the one-two season "Renaissance" Philly had.

    How many Top 10 picks did they absolutely whiff during the Process? All but 2.

    Was going to bring up how awesome that squad was. Would put them with the Drexler teams as the best non-Walton Blazers squad simply because of the baggage of the JailBlazers and how much wasted potential was on that roster.

    Oden.. imho not only because player ended being a bust for not playing but also because Portland gave up on Durant to pick him up

    It's not hindsight - I said in 2007 that Durant was on a higher level than Oden, and I was right (not just me, a lot of people). I saw them both play college ball, even though Oden only played a few games due to injury. See, it was already obvious that he would be injury prone before he was drafted, so that's why it was a terrible pick. And it was obvious that Durant would be an offensive superstar. Being a good rebounder and shot blocker doesn't guarantee someone will be an allstar, much less a franchise player.

    And of course there's a way Portland wouldn't win a ring. There are countless ways any team could not ring. Portland has experienced many of them.

    No one in the NBA was taking Durant over Oden that draft, Oden was widely considered the best big man prospect since Duncan at the time. And you want to act like Durant was a sure thing when Michael Beasley put up virtually the same college stats in the same conference before flaming out of the league. How was it obvious he was injury prone because of a wrist injury?
