	ESPN - Oden's first season as Blazer lost to knee injury - NBA
		Oden was the No. 1 pick in the June draft out of Ohio State, where he averaged 15.7 points and 9.6 rebounds.
		Oden could become only the second player in the draft (between 1966 and the present) to be selected No. 1 overall and not play in the year of his selection.
		While the loss of Oden was a disappointment, the Blazers were quick to point out that the team still has promising young players in Roy, last season's NBA Rookie of the Year who averaged 16.8 points per game, and Aldridge, who will likely play at times at center in Oden's absence.

		Bowie also was forced to undergo five leg surgeries in that span, all while Air Jordan was beginning his ascent to legendary status.
		The Blazers elected to select Bowie at No. 2 even though he had already undergone a major leg operation during his time at Kentucky, believing that he could overcome the injury and that they were covered at Jordan's position with Clyde Drexler and Jim Paxson.
		Oden's pre-draft physical did raise some health concerns -- mainly relating to the surgery on his shooting wrist that caused him to miss the beginning of last season at Ohio State, plus the fact that his right leg is one inch longer than the left.

	HoopsHype.com NBA Blogs - Seth Ferranti » Oden or Durant?
		Oden is as good as advertised with his game-changing defense, but we didn’t see the offensive explosion until the NCAA final.
		Oden didn’t get a chance to show his scoring ability most of the season because Coach Mattas offense was a run and gun type offense rather than one that centered around the big man. When they did you saw what Oden could do in the biggest game of his life as yet.
		Oden all te way, I’m going to repeat a lot of you, but Durant is a going to be a very very good player like Josh Howard, Ginoblini, Tmac, Kobe, Maggette..theres a long list of player that are Durant type..
