Nah he ain't a bust NOW,

he been a bust, I remember 03' I remember Bosh at Tech, DWade wearing that Hideos DePaul Uni', hell even Luke Ridnour at Oregon, but nobody was touching that Syracuse freshman with the cool marketable nickname that Boeheim lauded as greater than Derrick Coleman, so yeah he a bust.
Close your eyes ....and imagine if Bron went to Cuse, won it all as an incredible 18 yr old freshman was MVP, but same draft year Melo went to the NBA and now in talks about being the GOAT. & even Skip Bayless hated Melo the same.and every 3rd post on Coli was about Melo, and even a approaching Melo Jr, had Melo haters 7 years in advance hating and nervous, unless he goes to their squad.
How Sway? And almost from season one was perpetually out of condition, or either no where near as athletic as we hoped or thought. You have watched Melo for 16 yrs and yet to see him play defense worth 2 nickels
