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.

Jarrett Culver. 6th overall pick that was in the G league within 3 seasons

I believed in Culver.

I hate being wrong

He was on the older side and was in a specific system. But the dude should’ve been able to at least contribute. Super weird.

He had one good dunk on one of the Lopez brothers, and that mf mean-mugged and chased him down the court. It was all downhill after that. I think his life flashed before his eyes and he said this ain't worth it.
