Will Drafting Oden over Durant be the 2nd worst draft decision ever?

Will Drafting Oden over Durant go down as being the 2nd worst draft decision ever?

#1 would have to be Bowie over MJ

After that would this (Drafting Oden over Durant) be the next biggest one all time?

[Sactown]

Nope it's the worst ever

[LAKobeBryant]

no one can predict injury tho

[topdog]

Darko over Melo/Wade/Bosh for sure is worse.

[Greedy22]

No, can't predict injuries.

It very well could be once you factor in number of games played between Oden and Bowie (http://www.basketball-reference.com/...iesa01&y2=1995) But it also depends on how high up you think Durant can be as well. If you think Durant can get into the top 5 all time then I can possibly agree with your assessment. If top 10 is his ceiling then certainly no way the biggest mistake.

kwame brown being drafted at all was pretty damn bad

Darko over Melo/Wade/Bosh for sure is worse.

At this point Durant > Melo, Bosh
and in time will be better then Wade.

Thats why I would put this at 2 and Darko at 3

You can't knock draft decisions. Because the same people knocking oden were the ones behind him. We all thought he would be a great big man especially after his Ohio state run. Even after he lost his first season everyone expected him to win ROY and still be amazing. I don't think you can ever knock a team for injuries. You can't tell if a players body can with stand the nba. Maybe you can knock talent evaluation but even that is hard. Some players just step up to another level they weren't at before the big leagues and some players can't handle the pressure and media. It's a whole other monster in the nba.

I apologize on the Blazers behalf for not being psychic.

Oden was a beast in Ohio state, I would draft him agian over Durant and I love Durant.

[TheSource]

He would've had a nice career if it weren't for his injuries.

Oden will still be a star once he comes back, mark my words. (Dec 18th, 2012)
