NBA vs NFL: Which one typically has the bigger draft busts?

[Swagnificent]

anyone saying NBA obviously lacks the neccesary brain cells to think rationally. just look up the last 10 #1 overall draft picks in the NBA and compare it to the NFL. NBA lottery picks don't bust as much as top 10-15 NFL picks. Its alot easier to tell who can play and who can't in basketball than it is in football which is more system dependant.

Only 2 rounds in the NBA. Going 15th is like being a mid round pick in football.

Not if you're Isaiah Thomas and you're taking the 20th pick in the draft. The media treated that Balkman pick like it was the #1 pick in the draft.

to me NBA. NBA teams get about 2-3 picks a draft, not 7, 9, 10

so if your first pick washes out of the league, now what?

NFL easily in the NBA you can have a nikka like Kwame Brown still knock out a decade in the league. In the NFL MFers be outta the league in like 3-5 years after getting drafted in the first round

NFL because if you get picked in the first you are supposed to be a star at your position. In the NBA, realistically there are only like 3-8 players expected to have actual star potential. Whole first round in the NFL is equivalent to like the top 8 in the NBA imo.
