The Most Surefire Busts You've Ever Seen Drafted

[SithLawd]

Wesley Johnson: David kahn gave Isaiah a run for his money for worst gm of all time. You have a team devoid of talent and you draft a "glue guy", whose ceiling is 12 ppg, over Cousins, Monroe, Hayward and George.
The year before you whiff on curry and get rid of ty lawson. Although in fairness I didn't think Johnny Flynn would be that bad (still had curry above him though).

Minnesota could've been working with a mini dynasty with Love, curry, rubio, lawson and cousins. I'm not even a wolves fan but this angers me... Kahn should be in jail.

Man, if Dumars didnt blow that pick and still swung Sheed. They would have had a dynasty over there.



Oh well

They woulda forced Melo to actually try on defense, be a better team player, and he'd probably have a MVP by now if they picked him.

 

[Listen]

I don't watch much college football, but when the Patriots took Chad Jackson early in the second round I was SURE he was going to be a bust.

Every first round draft pick in the Andy Reid era beside McNabb. Every Sixer pick besides Iverson. Damn Philly luck is horrible

Maclin is not a bust. Lito Sheppard, Broderick Bunkley, Corey Simon and Shawn Andrews weren't busts either. Kolb and Freddie Mitchell I'll give you though

The Hawks made two of the worst back-to-back picks ever in '05 and '06.

Marvin Williams in '05 with the second overall pick when EVERYBODY knew they needed a point guard and Chris Paul and Deron Williams were both on the board. Then when they promised Shelden fukking Williams they would take him at 5 if he was still available ("still" ) in '06.

No surprise Billy Knight hasn't had another job in the NBA since he "resigned" from the Hawks.

I saw shelden Williams big ugly ass last week at the grocery store in some sweat pants, eating doritos looking

Tyler Zeller is actually decent for where he was drafted

Walk with me, back to 2001. My Celtics took Kedrick motherfukkin Brown out of junior college (that's when you know), 11th overall, in the same draft they took Joe Johnson 10th overall (ok 1 for 2). Then in that same draft, they took Joe Forte 24th overall when they had already made a promise to Gilbert Arenas.

..... Then they kept Brown, and traded Johnson halfway through his rookie year for Tony Delk and Rodney Rogers. Kedrick never learned how to shoot, handle or even catch the ball. And he went from athletic like Marion to being built like Doug Overton within 2 years. I was younger and enjoyed watching Brown come in for his 13 minutes of play to win the "Dunkin Donuts Dunk of the Game" but he was such a terrible basketball player from the start.

Yi Jianlian (remember that highly publicized workout - Yi vs. a stationary chair??? )
Mike Sweetney (I'm a Georgetown fan too but that dude was never gonna get in shape lol)
Rafael Araujo (he was a poor man's Vitaly Potapenko)
Marvin Williams (Hawks fans will never forgive them for that shyt)
Andrea Bargnani (I didn't even know much about him at the time but I knew he was soft)
Earl Clark (good athlete but had no NBA skill unless you count length)
Robert Swift (just look at that motherfukker)
I didn't know he would never come to the US at all, but this dude has to be mentioned in this thread - Fran Vasquez

Christian Ponder is the most recent i remember him having no poise in the pocket at FSU so i was looking like when the vikings reached for him in the first round.

I still remember when they scooped shawn bradley at #2. I just KNEW he would be

 

[Pesci]

anyone who says Greg Oden is on my shyt list

 

[beenz]

He went from a no body to the greatest shooting big man of all time right before the draft to ummmmm yea... lol at melo, bosh and wade behind him

man that's just brutal to this day. the next 3 picks after milicic are 1 ballot HOF'ers

 

[Pesci]

as a Blazer fan, Martell Webster is up there

the Blazers could have drafted Chris Paul or Deron Williams (among others), but they traded down to pick that bum

 

[CarltonJunior]

Earl Clark (good athlete but had no NBA skill unless you count length)

I think that's unfair. Without Earl Clark the 2012 Lakers never make it to the first round to get bounced by San Antonio. Earl Clark was like their 3rd best player

For me, I'd probably say Bismack Biyombo. They thought he'd be like Serge Ibaka, but dude is nowhere near that
