Greg Oden just hasn’t been able to get started since he entered the NBA as the first overall pick in 2007. The Portland Trailblazers center will have microfracture surgery on his left knee and will miss this year entirely. Oden missed his entire first season and has missed 82 games over the last 2 years.
The second player picked in that same draft? Kevin Durant.
