WHERE ARE THEY NOW? Kevin Durant’s surprisingly deep 2007 draft class

Kevin Durant has exceeded expectations of him when he entered the NBA in 2007 at just 19 years old.

Durant easily sits atop the 2007 Draft class, an all-time great player in a solid, if unspectacular class.

While the 2007 Draft produced one of the more sad and notorious busts in Greg Oden, it also was surprisingly deep and has produced solid players like Al Horford, Mike Conley, Joakim Noah, and Wilson Chandler.

The draft is littered with some players who have had long, consistent careers, and some guys, of course, who didn’t work out.

See what happened to all 30 first-round picks below.

---

The Portland Trail Blazers took Greg Oden with the No. 1 pick.

---

Projected to be a superstar, Oden's career never materialized, as he played just 105 games in six seasons due to knee injuries. He retired in 2014 and is now a student-coach at Ohio State.
