What we know about Auden is mostly from his high school and college materials. We know that there is another center in history that can rival the four centers. He has comprehensive skills and can attack with both hands. Dunk at the basket is really domineering. Of course, in addition to the offensive end, Auden's deterrence on the defensive end is also quite good. Look at the evaluation of the scout report: as a seven-foot man, he can have the flexibility of defenders without losing their speed.
Therefore, such an all-around No.5 certainly deserves to be regarded as the number one scholar, and the pioneers are also secretly proud of being able to win the number one scholar. Even after many years, recalling the 2007 draft, even though Durant, who ranked second in that year, has become one of the best players in the league, the management of the Trailblazers still said: If we do it again, we will still choose greg oden with the No.1 pick. This is the best proof of Auden's strength.
I believe many of us have seen Auden's game. Although he played in the nba for a short time and played 82 games in the four seasons of the Trailblazers, we can still see his strength in the basket. He played his own level in both offense and defense. That's really the standard for a top center. So a healthy Auden is really terrible.
Later, Auden moved to Miami Heat and Jiangsu Kendia of CBA, but he could not show himself perfectly because of injury, and finally announced his retirement at the age of 28.
Finally, Auden's career really makes us regret, but when he is healthy, he is still an insider comparable to the four centers in history. He didn't lose to anyone, but he lost to injury.
