heck that clown williams disagrees with you. He probably even thinks Rivers was a better pick than davis..just look at how he treats those two.
I'ma go Austin Rivers. Dude's game is clownish.
His FG% is 37%. He can't shoot from deep - 33%. He shoots free throws at 55%. (I'm rounding up on all these numbers to help that out)
I'm still not sure what exactly he's supposed to be good at. He was supposed to have elite quickness (first step) but I don't see it. He's too slight to maneuver in the paint, and when he gets sent to the line he's only slightly more successful than Dwight Howard.

Austin Rivers has "biggest bust of all time" potential, tbh.... he's a y got who thought he was too good for college, despite his game being nowhere near NBA-ready after his freshman year, and he only got drafted so high because he went to Dook and his daddeh coaches in the NBA....
Only reason Rivers was drafted was because of his last name. Only difference between him and his pops is that he doesn't have 4 superstars to make him out as something he isn't.
I know he wasn't exactly a high pick, but Perry Jones is just awful. They had us thinking he could amount to something in summer league.
lol, what do you expect him to do while playing behind durant?
Well I didn't expect him to put up alarming stats or even get a whole lot of playing time, but anytime he is out on the floor he just looks lost, scared, and timid. The guy can jump out of the gym, but I'm not seeing anything else from him at all.
Take a look at Terrence Ross' numbers and they're not much better than Rivers' if at all. And he was taken a couple picks higher.
The #5 pick, drafted ahead of Lillard, has already been traded for fuggin scraps! By far the biggest bust so far
that's pretty much what you get from any young player who's not a useless chucker... lamb has been even worse and was a higher draft pick... both know that no matter how well they perform, they are not getting playing time this year..
I've been watching the raptors play since the beginneing of the season, and i'll tell you Ross is a legit offensive player. He can drive to the basket, and a great shooter too..I'm not exactly sure why he's struggling from the free throw line when he can shoot lights out from the three and dribble-stop-shot midrange.
he's % are terrible now, but that has a lot to do with Rudy gay. Ever since Rudy gay was traded he's been limited to DNP and most of the time 8 minutes where he will chuck, chuck, chuck out of frustration for losing a lot of playing time.
I like Rivers to eventually develop into a quality sixth man, but he's way too small for the league right now. He's too short to ever become a quality starting SG (since he doesn't have Iverson speed) and he will NEVER play point worth a (WTF was NO thinking drafting him to fill that position?), but he's a pretty solid ballhandler with some creativity in the lane, and I think he'll end up another Monta Ellis (Ellis had stats almost as bad his rookie season too).
Rivers kind of reminds me of shrimp-ass Rashard Lewis when he first came into the league. Still remember seeing him fresh out of HS with no training camp weighing about 180 and trying to guard Karl Malone the first game or two after the lockout ended.

Rivers problem is he's a b athlete at best. I just don't see NBA athleticism there at all
That's a pathetic cost-cutting move by the Maloofs and not any kind of reflection on his long-term potential.

Sac is a talent wasteland. Look at Hickson once he left, and look at Patterson now that he's there. T-Rob deserves more time on the court before he is judged IMO.
Ummmmm, reading comprehension error? The le of the thread explicitly says "so far".
How does a SG shoot that bad from the line? Is the sample size really small or is he just that bad?
How can you call a guy a bust that hasn't had a chance to play or do anything outside of garbage minutes? Rivers qualifies because he's been given a substantial role and is sucking ass. And every coach, scout and front office executive didn't see the trade to Houston as any kind of referendum on Robinson.
Because the question is not:
"Biggest draft bust"
or
"Biggest bust of the season"
or
"Biggest draft bust of the season (predict over their career)
or
....
you get the picture.
Q: "What color is the sky (at night)"
A: Black
Rebuttal: NO THE SKY IS BLUE YOU ING IDIOT!!!!
The number 5 pick is supposed to have an impact barring injuries. Thus is the correct answer to the question.
Who the says so?
Cousins, Rubio, Love for example
