7
Greg Oden
Portland Trail Blazers
Center
Age: 20 Injured all season Microfracture surgery is scary, but Oden's combination of size and athleticism is still scarier.

How did Greg Oden finish 7th?

How did Beasley and Rose get any picks? How did Al Jefferson get completely ignored? How did Rajon Rondo get a wild card vote?

The answer, ESPN employs a lot of hack writers.

KD isn't even close to Bynum and Oden hasn't played a single NBA game yet.

Roy is extremely underrated.

I'd put him at 5 or 6.

Already in his 2nd season he is showing he can be a legitimate playmaker, while I cannot say the same for Anthony and even less for Durant.

It's probably because CP3 is over-shadowing Deron right now. Deron should have taken Oden's spot.

I blame Slava for this injustice...

Anthony was a playmaker in his first few seasons, last year he was leading the league in scoring then got suspended then Iverson came and now they share the load, Anthony is deffinitly a playmaker though I think right now he is underrated because Iverson is on his team. Two players averaging 25 pooints on the same team is tough to do and the only way it works is because of the fast pace they play at.

Agreed on Durant, but I actually think Carmelo is a very underrated playmaker. In general he's a far more complete player than he was a few years ago, even if his stats don't always show it.

So Rondo, Noah, and Young recieved votes but Jefferson and Aldridge didn't recieve one? Kind of blows this polls credibility.

lol, Joakim Noah got a vote. Hes one of this years top rookies and will be a great supporting player in this league, but damn.

Lebron, Melo and Brandon Roy shouldn't even be on the list since they are all born on 84 and are turning 24.
