Which lottery pick will be a bust?

[BigE214]

stars don't grow on trees. Once you exit the top 3 there's a large chance you selected a role player.

I actually think he will be fine unlike Randle who lacks the athleticism and wingspan to compete at the 4. Orlando will probably put him at then 3.

you can turn it off before it's even a minute in. Randle gonna kill in the L. Ain't no 4's gonna be able to stay in front of him. Ambidextrous and finishes at the rim like a man, pause. Dude IS athletic

Majority of lottery picks out side of 5 are always bust.

He's a good defender

Yup... I've been looking at every years draft and only the top 5 or ten are not only just good but servive in the league.

Randle can't go left

These fakkits to caught up in the Z Bo comparisons to see that Randal is very athletic. Is Shawn Kemp and Blake athletic? No, but son plays like a grown man in the paint. All these soft 4's bout to get abused

Forgot about Gordon. He might be a bust, then he might be the next Blake griffin

Blake Griffin?

Blake was the best player in college and was dominating his sophomore season. Not to mention Blake is built like a stereotypical 4, he also happens to be one of the strongest players in the entire league.

Derrick Williams Jr. The next Blake

From where he was picked, it's Gordon. With the fourth pick, you don't want a guy who, at best, will have Tristan Thompson career averages by the end of his rookie contract.

I'll say Lavine mainly becuz of who he went to. Anywhere else and he'd have of glimmer of hope.

If you can play(and they let you play- VERY IMPORTANT) you gon ball regardless.
Busts gon bust.

Tristan Thompson added a baby hook to his game playing alone and though he was balling
Don't judge Gordon yet, he might make it. I remember thinking Prince George was gonna flop, Kyrie too

 

[Nick Barnes]

I hope y'all wrong about Lavine

 

[L. Deezy]

seriously, not saying y'all not picking dudes who wont amount too much and thats fine. But you cant be a bust unless you top 2 or 3 at least right??

 

[954UAlreadyknow]

After reading this, I'll cast my vote for Lavine.

 

[Swagnificent]

He has no skills though. Was he even the third best player on his team? Dude made no impact.

He's like Josh Selby if he was even dumber but with a crazy vert.

can handle the ball, catch and shoot, and shoot off the dribble. this isn't a gerald green type prospect or even Russell Westbrook (who was rawer coming out).

this guy has skills and athleticism. his issues are strength. he didn't like contact and finishing in the paint. other than that, his lack of production at UCLA was because of the system and the fact the coach preferred playing his kid at backup PG over LaVine. if Zach played on a team like USC and had no other ball dominant players alongside him, he woulda had a monster season.

with some honing, this kid will be a star. he has it all from a physical and skill standpoint. its just about maturing and putting it all together. i seriously don't get how people can't see this.

 

[Swagnificent]

To call Zach Lavine a bust is to have expectations for him. I don't.

If he sucks in D-League, then yeah he's a bust

you should be happy. your sorry ass team got one of the best players in this draft when its all said and done. and if you can lose kevin love, then ya'll might even make the playoffs next year.

 

[BXKingPin82]

I been watching basketball for a really long time now
I believe that Wiggins & Embiid got bust written all over them
that McDermott kid gonna be the best thing to come out this draft
and when Im right I want all you muthafukkas to praise my name lol
