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.

Otto porter Jr, was the third pick in a draft with Oladipo Cj Gianni’s.

To be fair Oladipo went #2… but yeah it was a shit draft.

That may have been the worst top five of all time. Oladipo is the best one, and he really only had one good season.

Giannis is the only sure fire Hall of Famer in that entire draft. Rudy Gobert seems the next most likely.

Oladipo went in front of him so you can’t really count him.

That draft was the biggest crapshoot in recent memory though.
