I am not a basketball fan, at all, but I swear I remember them discussing Oden's knees

long before the draft.

So someone, somewhere, knew he was not moving right.

Injuries happen, no doubt, but he had to have had a physical before they chose to draft him that high, no?

And if he had microfracture surgery 3 months after being drafted, what did they say caused the injury?

I liken him more to Brien Taylor, who was paid and never performed because of injuries.

Responses:

IMO, Oden is nowhere near the bust status of players like Sam Bowie, Olowokandi, Kwame Brown and Darko -- nm - Strongbad Mar 14, 08:04 4
- Sam Bowie actually had a reasonable career. The main knock on him is that he was draft ahead of Michael Jordan. But it's unfair to call him a bust. - pmb Mar 14, 08:36
- well, no, because they actually played. - groiny Mar 14, 08:05 2
  - Jay Williams is another example. Not a true bust, due to unfortunate injuries. -- nm - Strongbad Mar 14, 08:06 1
    - well, he should not have been on a crotch rocket. nm -- nm - groiny Mar 14, 08:08
