The BIG3 is bigger than ever...

After agreeing to join the BIG3 draft pool, former Portland Trail Blazer Greg Oden will potentially return to the hardwood...

The 2007 No. 1 overall draft pick will participate in the BIG3 draft combine and will hope to earn a spot on one of the eight teams for the upcoming season.

With the BIG3 adding more players to it's already famous roster, players like Greg Oden, (alongside newcomers Metta World Peace, Baron Davis, Nate Robinson and Carlos Boozer) will be hot property going into the draft.

Oden was a No. 1 pick for a reason, and his career was derailed due to injuries after a promising start with the Portland Trail Blazers. After competing in 82 games in his first two years, his knees kept him from playing before he returned in 2013/14 for the Miami Heat, where he played 26 games, 3 of them being in the postseason.

The now 30 year old last played in China for a season before being waived in 2016. He followed this up by enrolling back with Ohio State, his former college team from 2007.

Although his pro career may be finished, Oden is seemingly ready to play again in a half-court format against players who may be past their prime, and thanks to his 7ft frame, he could make a serious impact.
