His senior year of high school, Oden underwent surgery to repair a torn ligament in his wrist , an injury that kept him out until December for

his freshman year of college

and also, Simmons was all over Durant going first over Oden.

Responses:

Yes, that wrist injury certainly foreshadowed his...knee problems. - David Mar 13, 18:23 5
- here's a good Simmons quote from his pre-draft mock (in which, yes, he took Durant). - TFox Mar 13, 18:27 4
  - and yet in his actual mock draft he took Durant... -- (link) - Beaker Mar 13, 18:28 3
    - i... just said that. and then you linked to the source of my quote. -- nm - TFox Mar 13, 18:28 2
      - now that is totally on me only paying half attention -- nm - Beaker Mar 13, 18:32 1
        
        ok, so now focus on explaining to me how Greg Oden's surgically repaired wrist, - TFox Mar 13, 18:34
how many of his injuries since the draft have had anything at all to do with his wrist? - TFox Mar 13, 18:23 2
- sorry, I said he was injury prone, didn't specify his knee at all -- nm - Beaker Mar 13, 18:24 1
  - "injury prone" is totally and utterly meaningless. because his wrist was hurt, the Blazers could have known that all this shit would happen? - TFox Mar 13, 18:26
Mister Glass -- nm - Bacon Mar 13, 18:19 1
- please check B2, Oden is NOT a draft bust according to David -- nm - Beaker Mar 13, 18:20
If you guys are going to troll me you might want to at least get your facts straight -- nm - Beaker Mar 13, 18:19 16
- and please explain how Oden is not a draft bust due to injury. I need a good laugh -- nm - Beaker Mar 13, 18:20 15
  - Vernon Gholston is a bust. He can't play. Oden can play, he just can't stay healthy. - David Mar 13, 18:26 11
    - I will disagree. Bust to me means paid way too much, and got way too little for the money -- nm - Bacon Mar 13, 18:29 9
      - A bust is someone scouts got wrong. Period. -- nm - David Mar 13, 18:30 8
        
        I can maybe see this if there was no clear cut #2 pick, but with an almost sure thing at #2, your argument loses weight -- nm - Beaker Mar 13, 19:08 4
        
        Your argument makes no sense which is why each time TFox has pressed you, you haven't defended it. - David Mar 13, 19:09 3
        
        other than one leg being longer than the other you mean? -- nm - Beaker Mar 13, 19:12 2
        
        You really shouldn't have brought this to a second board. -- nm - David Mar 13, 19:20
        
        *laughing* - TFox Mar 13, 19:14
        
        I see it this way as well. -- nm - Krusty Mar 13, 18:34
        
        I would venture if you asked sports fans if Greg Oden was a bust, you would not be in the majority. - Bacon Mar 13, 18:33 1
        
        And I would venture that if you asked personnel people, close to 100% would agree with me. - David Mar 13, 18:35
    - ok dokey -- nm - Beaker Mar 13, 18:29
  - I agree with you. If a guy is always injured he's a draft bust IMO. -- nm - Bacon Mar 13, 18:24 2
    - His first knee injury was caught before he even played a game for us. - Bacon Mar 13, 18:26
    - and if the player taken second is a superstar, even moreso -- nm - Beaker Mar 13, 18:25
