re: Why does this Zion situation feel like Greg Oden?

Yeah we bring up Oden because he was the last real example of a promising big that truly did wash out of the league because of injuries.

Most of the time that doesn't happen.

You have your guys with rough starts, short careers, lots of missed time, but Greg Oden's are rare, especially today where so much advancements in therapy, physical maintenance, and nutrition have advanced.
