Oden Done for the Season, Again

Former number one overall draft pick Greg Oden will undergo microfracture knee surgery and not play this season. The Portland Trail Blazers center hasn't played since December 5th of last season because of other injuries. This begins to raise the question if Oden is a bust because he has now missed two full seasons and the majority of last season after being drafted first by the Blazers in 2007. He missed his rookie season because of the same surgery on his right knee and now he will have surgery on his left knee that repairs damaged carlidge. Oden has only played 82 games over his first three seasons and will be a free agent this summer. He is the first number one pick since Kwame Brown that won't be offered a contract extension at the end of his rookie contract. It's disappointing to see something like this happen to a player because his career was so promising coming out of college at Ohio State.
