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.

Oh, I knew/know his name.

Was just pointing out the colossal clusterfuck the Wolves had that draft.

I don't care if the next player taken was Seth Curry. Or a bowl of curry sauce. Drafting a 6'2 PG and then selecting a 6'0 PG with literally the next pick may be the dumbest thing in U.S. sports history.

Would also be the only possible explanation as to why Minnesota traded five firsts for RUDY FUCKING GOBERT!!!!!!!!! Maybe they are outthinking everyone. Can't make historically draft decisions if you don't have draft picks.

I feel so bad for Timberwolves fans. When your owner and/or GM are the problem it feels so shitty. Nothing you can do.
