College: Greg Oden vs. Anthony Davis?

[NBAplayoffs2001]

Who goes first?

[Smook A.]

Greg Oden would go first.

Almost everybody, including me, thought he was going to be the next great center. I had a feeling he was gonna be in the same conversion as guys like Shaq, Hakeem, Kareem, Russell, Wilt, Ewing, and Robinson when his career would be all over.

Chad Ford had Oden as the 2nd greatest prospect since 2000, behind LeBron.

Oden was supposed to rekindle the legacy of a bygone NBA era when giants ruled the paint. He was an old-school, freakishly big, freakishly athletic back-to-the-basket center who drew comparisons to Tim Duncan, Patrick Ewing and David Robinson. He was supposed to win multiple Defensive Player of the Year awards. He was a lock to average 25 points, 12 rebounds and 4 blocks per game.

Then Oden fell apart. He had microfracture surgery on his right knee before his rookie season. Then, at the start of the 2009 season, he fractured his left patella. Before he ever stepped back on the court, he had another microfracture surgery, this time on his left knee. In 2012 he went through a third microfracture surgery. The Blazers waived him in March 2012. He played a total of 82 games for them. While he showed enormous potential when he played, his career was a disaster by virtually every standard. Oden was signed by the Heat this season and played sparingly, averaging 9.2 MPG in 2013-14.

Unibrow is 5. LeBron, Oden, Yao, Durant, Davis.
