The Most Surefire Busts You've Ever Seen Drafted

[Dirty D]

Gotta go with Araujo.

Tom Tolbert's reaction on the telecast said it all: "WHAT?!"

Thabeet.

When I seen Dajuan Blair consistently body that tall as nikka I KNEW he was gon be hot garbage in the league

This One! Everything about him screamed bust

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.

Wasn't he a consultant for the Knicks or something?

Austin rivers for the pelicans

I don't know if I'll call duke an all out bust, but I was pissed when the Sixers drafted Larry Hughes. Pierce and Dirk were still on the board too.

Pierce I'll give, but who the hell knew what Dirk was going to do in the league at that time? This was way before the youtube/internet era where info and video for these guys is easily available.

This One! Everything about him screamed bust

Gotta be Thabeet, has to be.

Bargnani was a pretty huge bust too.

 

[TenChambers]

Evan Turner.....wanted the Sixers to get DeMarcus Cousins so bad....fukkin Ed Stefanski and Doug Collins.

 

[Savior]

Tebow won games

Personally I dont see how Tebow is even in a discussion of top 10 draft busts ever . If anything he overachieved. Most had him as a later round draft pick and didnt think he'd do much in the NFL before McDaniels dumb ass scooped him up in the first.

 

[Detroit Wave]

Tebow

had to undap because i just realized he has more playoff wins than that fakkit stafford :hatmjcry:

 

[TheGreatShowtime]

JaMarcus Russell
Blaine Gabbert
Sam Bradford
Anthony Bennett
Ted Ginn
Tavon Austin
Mark Barron
Tyrus Thomas (Bulls traded LMA for this dude...)
Any UNC bball player outside of Ty Lawson the last decade

Surprised Tyrus wasn't on the top of your list

 

[Xerces]

that aint even right fam. Jeff Fisher

Stop Blaming Fisher. Young was not mentally ready to handle the NFL life. He's out of the league now and also played for Andy Reid; did Andy screw him over as well?

 

[Xerces]

Tebow

Tebow has as many playoff wins as Matt Ryan with half the weapons Matty Fraud has/Had. Not too bad when it gets put in that perspective

 

[Hoganese]

Michael Olowokandi?

 

[Ohene]

When the Raptors selected Rafael Araujo over Andre Iguodala... Remember that day like yesterday, was so hyped that Iguodala wasn't selected yet then as soon as they call "and with the eighth pic in the NBA Draft, the Toronto Raptors selected Rafael Arau..."........

same way i feel about joey graham over danny granger and gerald green.

fukkking dumb asses man. i remember listening to 680 news that day

Atlanta hasnt finished top 20 in total defense since 2011. It aint all on matty ice. Tebow's playoff win was cool and all but people need to look at the big picture. No one who follows football is taking tebow over Matt Ryan as a franchise QB.
