Whos it going to be?
The biggest draft bust IMO will be Thabeet. The guy has the tools, but in the NBA he will be dominated.
Whos your pick?

Not Thabeet. Even though he's not that impressive yet, I feel he'll still be a decent bench player at worst. It's not every day you see relatively agile 7'3" big men.
The bust of the draft will be someone who drops completely off the NBA radar.
Thabeet is an easy pick because expectations are high for him, but I could even see Curry making less of an impact a year from now.
Idk if you can consider them busts, when you look at the quality of the draft.
I think this is pretty right...Quote:

The rest of the draft is fairly mediocre otherwise. Flynn, Jordan Hill, Evans, Holliday... does anyone expect stardom from any of them? Hill might be lousy, however...
Curry
curry or thabeet
Rubio
I 2nd:toast this.Quote:

Rubio and Thabeet
Blake, Blair, and Sam Young will go 123 in ROY.
Thabeet, bust at 2. You don't draft a mediocre starter or eventual backup at 2. You take chances and try for franchise players, even if the draft was crap (beside from PG) like this year.
Psycho T, bust at 13. No basketball skills; I am witness as a Duke fan.
Thabeet looked pretty good to me. He's big, he's mobile, he's got good hands, he can defend and he's young. Must be the "Mahinmi sucks" crowd that thinks a 7'3" guy is washed up at 21.
For this year? Rubio.
Thabeet
You're right he did'nt block alot of shots, but he did alter alot of them.Quote:

Jordan Hill.
Brandon Jennings. I don't have any reasons, I just don't like the guy lol.
Curry as a legitimate pick for bust though
My choice is Thabeet
Here is an interesting comparison:

considering he is the 2nd pick in the draft-thabeet.
Don't forget Earl Clark, he'll be in the mix.Quote:

DeMar DeRozan
Guy is athletic enough, but his lack of skill gives me doubt.
DeRozan gets my vote. He got by on athletic ability alone in college. In the nba you need more than that.
Nando De Colo....
Austin Daye, F, Detroit Pistons.
He's physically unprepared, is rail thin, has a knee history, lacks a true position, doesn't project as good defender or rebounder, and is going to a team that's in the process of being turned upside down. I think that's a recipe for collossal disaster.
I read on a site that historically the sixth pick has had the most busts. Therefore I will pick Jonny Flynn.
Rodrigue Beaubois
I will have to go with Jennings too. I think he is too full of himself and therefore, will not learn much.Quote:

curry or rubio
I am thinking Curry.
I think Curry will win Rookie of the Year. His numbers will be inflated playing for the Warriors and if you are in the rotation with Don Nelson you will be playing around 38mins per game. He will probably put up numbers that completely overstate how good he is as a player. Probably look for him to put around 18ppg in his rookie season.
yeah players like curry are made for nelly ball
I have only seen clips of Gerald Henderson, but for some reason, I can either see this guy being a savior for the bobcats or a bust.
As for Jordan Hill, I think his game is well polished and would fit into the NBA just fine.
basically I agree, but Griffin just seems to own the other rookies! brin injuries it would be a big surprise, if he doesnt win ROY!Quote:

The Biggest BUST will be Jackie's Butler brother...(new spurm Dejuan Blair)Quote:

Long-term my pick would be Curry.
Rubio will be a bust.
Thabeet will be a starter because of the lack of centers in the league.
Has nobody in here ever seen James Harden play or what?Quote:

Write it down.
Thabeet reminds me somewhat of a Marcus Camby during his younger years. Awkward offensively, rail thin, but a good help defender. Just that Thabeet looks worse.
The biggest bust of the 2009 draft? You be the judge.

Yes, there are 3 choices, since that is Chase Budinger in the background.
