Greg Oden
Oden’s long track record of injuries, his incredibly promising career, and his draft pedigree makes him one of the most prolific entries on this list. Before everything went pear-shaped, Oden was a true franchise anchor whose defensive capabilities seemed set to make him Player of the Year. Plus, his offensive strengths made him a fantastic all-round player. Between 2007 and 2010, Oden sustained several unfortunate injuries, which slowed down his career. A brief cameo in 2013 was essentially the last time we would see him on the NBA floor.
