    In the predraft camps Oden had insane measurements. His lane agility drills were similar to Aaron Brooks and other quick PG's. He was a freak athlete. Obviously it didn't work out but to try and say the team made a mistake back at that time is ridiculous.

    Is there a source? Anthony Oden has generated no news since leaving Lamar a year ago.

    Thanks. Now I remember about the discussion a year ago when the Grantland article appeared.

    A hotheaded fat younger brother. I can't imagine the fights the smarter, slimmer older brother had to put up with. I left out better-looking.

    That's note entirely true. He had the middle school thing where he said something like his leg was just hanging on by a thread at the hip. We just didn't hear about it until after the draft.
