Oden was drafted in 2007, but didn’t play until 2008-09 due to surgery on his right knee. He played 61 games that season and 21 the next, averaging 9.4 points, 7.3 rebounds, and 1.4 blocks in just 22.1 minutes per game over those two years. Due to troubles with both knees, Oden didn’t play again until a short-lived comeback with the Heat in 2013-14.
