Image via WikipediaIn three seasons since being selected, out of a possible 246 games, Oden has appeared in 82 of them. The player selected after Oden in the 2007 draft, Kevin Durant, just became the youngest scoring champion in NBA history this past season.
Suffice it to say, Portland wasn't banking on drafting a player who'd play one full season out of three when they spent the No. 1 pick on Oden. If he can get back on the court and stay healthy all season, he could finally become the force that made him the No. 1 pick; otherwise, if injuries intervene yet again, the Blazers may finally decide that Oden's body simply can't handle the rigors of being an NBA starter.
