Well the results look good for Oden in a way as if he'd done the benchpress (he skipped it because of his wrist) he'd have been in the top 10 athletes overall, which is ridiculous for someone of his size, but really we all know he's likely going one anyway.
Look at someone like Durant though - he might have tested relatively poorly as an athlete (anyone who's watched him play would dispute this mind you) but if you tested basketball IQ and feel for the game he would come out a long way ahead as some of the guys testing well athletically.
It'll certainly help some guys on the first round bubble (Stuckey for example is a big winner, as we know he has the smarts, but maybe not the athleticism) but overall fairly overrated.
