Oden, 30, was selected first overall in the 2007 NBA Draft by the Portland Trail Blazers ahead of Kevin Durant. Unfortunately, the 7-foot center's career was ravaged by injuries, and he ended up playing just 105 games over three seasons. He finished with career averages of eight points, 6.2 rebounds, and 1.2 blocks per game with the Blazers and Miami Heat.
He'll be part of a draft pool that includes other former NBA players like Stromile Swift, Smush Parker, Jason Maxiell, Morris Peterson, and Jamario Moon.
