Officially a bigger bust than Kwame. Although to be fair, he should never have been the #1 overall pick.

and kwame should have? Although, i agree. Biggest bust ever, but not his fault, he did not have any potential to begin with.

Going to be dead of overdose before his 30th birthday.


This draft sucked. No one deserved 1th pick, most guys are NBA roles at best. Maybe McCollum or Antetokoumpo have legit shot at being all-star. Cavs made bad bad pick, regardless.

This. The majority of that draft was shit. There wasn't a true number one in it. Honestly most of the draft aren't even lottery picks in a decent draft.

It's obvious you started watching the NBA just 5 years ago.

Bennett was #1 overall and Thabeet was #2 in a loaded draft. They're top 5 for sure.

I watched him at Findlay. I never got it. People in Vegas were evoking Larry Johnson.

Seriously.

I mean, shit, he was benched at UNLV by a coach fired a few years later.

What about Stromile Swift or Nikoloz Tskitishvili? Then there's D'Angelo Russell too.

Len Bias dropped dead before he even played a game in the NBA. He should be right at the top of the biggest busts list.

My Main Nigga Stromile was just too good for this league. The Jews forced him out.

Greg Oden was a pretty big bust.

Yeah, the Celts were big shot...He's was gonna be the next Magic Johnson. Play him at PG. All that finagalin' & conspirin' and he ended slabbed & tagged.

No more big shot.

Relative to his draft (2013), a pretty weak one, i still think Kawme is the bigger bust if you compare him with what emerged out of 2001...It is been three years, and i don't think anybody from 2013 draft qualifies as 2nd banana on championship team. C.J. McCollum? Giannis? not there yet..

Greek Freak is barely 21 and is one of seven non-PF/C to be shooting at least 50% from the floor (Parker, Curry, Kawhi, Durant, Greek Freak, Lebron, TJ Warren). He's improved across the board in increased minutes, but really does need to develop a three point shot.

CJ is already a bit older and essentially lost a year plus was behind Matthews / Afflalo in the rotation. He's proven himself to be more worthy of a top pick than any of the four guys drafted after Davis in 2012 (MKG, Beal, Waiters, Thomas Robinson ... then Lillard, Barnes, Ross, Drummond (!))

Oden had more hype than a lot of the guys mentioned ITT plus it's the Trailblazers :lol

Notable bust not mentioned in this thread would be Adam Morrison and Darko. Darko is such a huge bust in my mind based on all of the great players he was drafted over.
