OT: Greg Oden signs deal with Chinese league

Submitted by oriental andrew on

So 50 year old Greg Oden, arguably one of the worst #1 picks of all time due to his knee problems severely limiting his playing time, has just agreed to a 1 year contract with the Jiangsu Dragons of the Chinese Basketball Association.

A little googling tells me that they also have former first round picks MarShon Brooks (Providence, 25th pick in 2011) and Arnett Moultrie (Miss St, 27th pick in 2012) on the roster, along with another 7 footer in Tang ZhengDong.
