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.

Thabeet. Everyone clowns on the Wolves for drafting Rubio and Flynn over Curry, but at least Rubio is still in the league and Flynn had a devastating injury.

Thabeet was the same year and he was taken 2nd overall over Harden, Curry, Tyreek Evans, DeRozen and Jrue Holiday.

Whenever Thabeet is mentioned I have to bring up watching that putt center with no knees absolutely destroy him whenever they played.
