Injuries derailed Oden more than anything else... would be interesting if he had microfracture surgery today if things would have been different
B-b-b-but he is Euroleague champion. Don't underestimate a player who provided 1.2 points & 0.9 rebounds per game last season for Turkish club.
It's amazing that Greek Freak dropped to 15 in that draft. Teams are just stupid. You don't pass on unicorns especially 18 year old 6'9" point guards that are still growing.
i don't remember him being called a point guard before that draft tbh. i think that was Jason Kidd's idea.
To be fair Thabeet actually could have been pretty good if he had an interest in bball, problem was he was just in it for the money. Thabeet had good quickness and lots of length, this dude is an undersized PF who has asthma which prevents him from getting into shape.
He did all that in college. You know Beasley's average in college? 20-20. What about derrick Favors? Same thing. Cleveland already gave him so many chances, and so did the other teams he bounced around in. If he was any good he would stuck around.
