Amazes me Lonzo Ball is never mentioned
NBA - Main
Game analysis, highlights and everything else that is happening in the NBA.
I’m so happy you guys didn’t draft Tatum.
I think overall “busts” due to injury should be a separate category than players that just aren’t good. I know they’ve historically been grouped together but there’s a clear difference between a player who had a career altering injury and a player who just isn’t good.
Plus while Lonzo wasn’t a 2nd pick talent he was becoming an elite role player point guard before he got injured
He isn’t a bust the same way wiseman is a bust
Not even close. He was and hopefully still will be a great player.
Fultz and Ball are number 1 people were talking about them like they’d be prime Magic and Steph. Only for Tatum to completely separate himself almost immediately when entering the league.
Lamelo Ball is a bust ? Lmao what.
Fultz has to be #1 here.
Fultz is the only one who's not currently on the Pistons?
Get ready to learn Detroit-anese buddy...
Deandre Ayton. #1 pick ahead of Luka.
lol…
Wrong pick, but not a bust.
Bagley, on the other hand…
dragan bender, thon maker, josh jackson, mo bamba, jarrett culver
It’s Wiseman.
Hard to top a 7 foot bust, that's pretty tall
Jarrett Culver was a 6th overall pick in 2019 and is currently playing in the G League
Admittedly I thought he was going to be a great NBA player, felt like he had all the intangibles. As someone who didn’t watch much of him once he got into the league, what went wrong?
Well for one, he lacked the intangibles
I follow the NBA and this subreddit pretty close, and I’ve never heard of that name before. What team drafted him? If it’s the Kings I’ll lose my shit
Tpups
OK i only saw this guy play a few games in college but he looked dreadful every time I watched. I didn't understand the hype
Gayton
Dragan Bender, Josh Jackson, Jarrett Culver.
All top 6 picks and all are either out of the league or in Culver's case, the G-League.
its Fultz
people want to say hes a decent player now but even then he barely plays and still doesnt shoot threes after being a volume guy in college.
He would have changed the entire trajectory of the Sixers who were completely stacked at the time if he was 75% of what was advertised. Hes closer to 20% now and was much worse on the sixers.
JAMES WISEMAN!!!
If we talking about not meeting expectations it’s Ben Simmons. He has carved out a decent career but the hype around him was next Lebron level. ESPN was marketing the Cavs v Sixers games in his rookie year as the “King vs the Prince.”
Even Andrew Wiggins, Jabari Parker, and Zion have not lived up to their next goat hype.
Number one def me last night *UP TOP
