Greg Oden

Year selected: 2007

Draft pick: 1st overall

Team: Portland Trail Blazers

College: Ohio State

Chronic knee problems and the rising star power of league MVP Kevin Durant, who was selected after him, have combined to plague Oden. He played 82 games over two years and was out of the league until Miami signed him in 2013.
