Sam Bowie was a legit draft pick.Oden may have been a bit more suspect.
bowie though talented, missed alot of games at kentucky as well.
oden at that time was comparable to dwight howard. their where some who said he'd be the next russell, and at worst the next ewing. he was going to be a stud. he can still be a defensive force, but the guy just cannot stay healthy.
the blazers have had horrible luck with the health of their big men. walton, bowie and oden.
Wasn't Oden pretty dominant in College. He has had injury problems. Brandon Roy and Kevin Durant would be one hell of a twosome though.
durant was dominant too, but oden appeared more special because of what he could have been. with the exception of jordan's bulls, almost every team that ha ever won a championship had a dominant two way big.
