History will repeat itself. So which top 5 NBA Draft pick will be a bust/wont live up to the hype?

[ElMasChingon]

Out of all those names, I only counted 9-10 players who actually won a title.

 

[Cwilk02]

he actually has one of the highest bust factors. (1) was not highly recruited coming outta high school. (2) struggled against top compeition in college. (3) not very athletic.

i got russell and the euro being busts.

He was a five star recruit

 

[BStapies]

u must not have watched many of his games cause he averaged 18ppg on 66% shooting. okafor's floor is boogie cousins.

From what I understand, okafor doesnt play Much defense and he cant hit free throws. People saying his ceiling is Al Jeff

 

[Brozay]

al jefferson is 2 inches shorter than okafor and brook is 2 inches taller. plus neither have his footwork, ballhandling, or post ability. jah's best nba comp from a measureables standpoint is boogie cousins. both are 6'9.5" barefoot. 6'11" in shoes. 7'5"-7'6" wingspans. 260-70 lbs. jahlil has better post moves but isn't as good a rebounder. both have nice handles for a big and are great passing outta double teams.

towns is a 6'11" Al Horford. that is a franchise changing player. a legit 2nd option on a title contender like Pau Gasol.

AL Jefferson doesn't have the footwork of Okafor?

Why is Tyreke Evans bolded

al jefferson is 6'9.75" in shoes with a 7'2.5" wingspan. okafor is 6'11" in shoes with a 7'5" wingspan. taller + more length = much better.

body-wise Okafor is more like Cousins in terms of height and length than Big Al.

this ain't football. 5 star recruit means nothing in basketball. russell didn't get an offer from kentucky. thats all i needed to know. plus he wasn't on anyone's one and done radar. we all knew okafor, towns, and mudiay would be here. even guys like winslow and stanley johnson got hype. no one knew a thing about russell at this time last year.

Why is Tyreke Evans bolded

Has Tyreke ever been close to an All-star game selection? NO

The jury is still out on him because he young,but as of today he not worthy of a top 5 pick,he's serviceable,but he's not extremely serviceable

SECOND BEST PLAYER ON THE PELICANS, A WESTERN CONFERENCE PLAYOFF TEAM...IN COMARISON, SECOND BEST PLAYER ON THE REST OF THE WESTERN CONFERENCE PLAYOFF TEAMS=LAMARCUS ALDRIDGE, TONY PARKER, DWIGHT HOWARD, BLAKE GRIFFIN, MONTA ELLIS, KLAY THOMPSON, ZACK RANDOLPH......PRETTY GOOD COMPANY FOR TYREKE.

 

[Originalgangsta317]

Hezonja has replaced Mudiay in the poll,lets discuss

 

[Sccit]

I THINK THE KNICK EURO DUDE FINNA BUST HARD...I HEARD THERE WERE 19 PLAYERS IN THE LOTTERY OUTA EUROPE SINCE YAO AND NOT ONE OF THEM HAS MADE AN ALL-STAR SQUAD LOLSMH

Everybody this it's gonna be him,it might be,the Hezonja guy could bust as well,but Okafor and Mudiay aint too hot to me either

I CALLED OKAFOR A BUST WHEN I SEEN HIM IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME....GLAD WE TOOK RUSSELL ISNTEAD

Yea I really don't think Okafor gonna be shyt

 

[Ohene]

either Porzingis will be a bust or a superstar a bust to me is far more likely.

@Originalgangsta317 my Breh Keith Vanhorn (16pt 7rb) was far from a bust same as Raef Lafrentz(10pt 6rb 1.5blk). They may have suffered injury issues but we're still talented players.

van horn was SOLID
