The TBT has had its share of first-round draft picks participate in the event but Greg Oden could be the first-ever No. 1 overall player to compete. Oden had his career sideswiped by repeated knee injuries and recently returned to Ohio State to earn his degree.
He was picked first overall in the 2007 NBA Draft, ahead of Kevin Durant, Al Horford and Mike Conley. He was cut from his team in China last year, although he was averaging a double-double at the time.
ESPN's Jeff Goodman has reported Oden might not play and players often appear on the roster of TBT teams and don't show up.
