What players who are considered busts or role players were screwed over by the team who drafted them? (alien.top)

I'm especially curious about the players who had high work ethic, no injuries, a good attitude, etc. Those who had everything going for them but the team who drafted them screwed them over by pairing them with lacking players, a poor environment, etc.

Not a bust (in fact opposite of that), but if Sabonis had stayed with okc any longer than he did, he would not have had the development and chance he was given to become the player he is today. He was a poor fit for that okc team at that time.
