I do have issue with this best player best prospect argument. A lot of these draft guru's and scouts were saying Wiggins was the best player. Do you know how many times we heard he's the best prospect since Durant. Problem is Durant was a great player, prospect whatever you want to call it from day one. Same goes for Lebron and Carmelo. They were the best prospects and at the time also the best players.

Ummm no.  Oden was considered the #1 prospect that year and it was nearly unanimous.  Turned out Durant was the best player of the draft but he ended up being taken #2.  Mistakes happen.  Scouts get it wrong.
can't even say scouts were wrong on Oden. Doctors were wrong.

When Oden was on the court I. Portland he produced at an MVP caliber dominant big man  level per minute. Everyone who now drools about Drummond, Oden was even better for his brief minutes....

Very sad.

Very true...Oden's per36 stats are very, very impressive. Oden was the clear choice for the #1 selection and there is no faulting Portland for selecting him over Durant. Unfortunately, injuries happen  :-[
