Who are some of the “sneaky” biggest draft busts in NBA history? The ones that don’t get talked about as much when this question gets asked? (alien.top)

I’m a fairly new NBA fan so obviously I didn’t follow the league when these guys got drafted. But I’ve done reading up on it and Anthony Bennett, Greg Oden, and Darko Milicic are the three that probably come most readily to mind when I think about this question.

My question is who are some of the sneaky draft busts? The guys you consider huge busts that don’t really get talked about as much when this question comes up. I’d love to hear about some of those guys and learn some more about NBA history.

Does Rubio count?

I guess so, he’s had a decent career but never lived up to being a top five pick. If he had gone like 25-30 that would be much more reasonable for the kind of career he’s had.

You’re thinking of the draft as too much of a science. It’s a gamble.
