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.

There was a time in the early 10’s when every year, the most dominant and athletic wing in HS was labeled the next Kobe or next lebron. Shabazz Muhammad was a bust before he even got to the league, Jabari Parker didn’t pan out and honestly based on predraft expectations labeling him the next lebron Wiggins was a sleeper bust.
