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.

Justise Winslow, a decently effective player for the 10th pick, but Winslow was no ordinary 10th pick

Heat turned down FOUR 1sts from Bos for him?? Sounds insane now.

And he was in the best possible situation to develop, still underwhelmed. Sneaky bust,

Beast in the NCAA tourney though fun to watch on that elevated court
