No.1 Pick Out for Rookie Season

In sports this week, Greg Oden who was No. 1 pick in the NBA draft, will likely miss the 2007-08 season after undergoing knee surgery Thursday. Doctors found cartilage damage during an exploratory procedure, and team physician Dr. Don Roberts performed microfracture surgery to repair the damage. The 7 foot center is expected to be on crutches up for about 8 weeks. After that he will have to go though extensive physical training. This is a major setback in the rookies career. Some Superstars in their prime who had that surgery never completely recover.Greg Oden was considered to be the next Shaqille O'Neal. It can possibly one of the biggest draft busts in the history of basketball if he dont recover.
