would love to have seen pre injury D Rose go against ANT

There should really be a clear definition for bust. To me Ayton is underperforming for a number 1 pick. He is not in the same category as Anthony Bennet or Olawakandi and if he had been picked 6th or later would be looked at as a good pick who became a serviceable starter. He will probably have a similar career to Drummond and no one is calling Andre a bust. If Ayton had been picked around the 7th or 8th slot then there would not be this push to call him a bust. Obviously a much better player was picked after Ayton but ultimately the term bust should be reserved for a high draft pick (top 3) who goes on to have a short career or a statistically unproductive one.

Marvin Williams - Under performed for his draft position but was a serviceable player for several years so he 's not a real bust

Hasheem Thabeet- Straight up bust who never cracked the starting line up and had a short career

Anthony Bennett- Straight up bust

Wiggins - Under performed for his draft position and the expectations he had prior to entering the league but he has been a serviceable player who was a guy on a championship team but not THE guy on a championship team.

Ayton is just gonna be like Andre Drummond or Clint Capella, good center who works as a complimentary player to a good team but never THE Guy on a contender.

then his bench sucks and his whole "next man up" mantra is bull shit. FUck him for the DRose injury. That Sixers game was in the bag and most coaches would have sat their starters. sit your fucking guys down. Deng and Noah has shorter careers because he ran them into the ground.

since we're overreacting to the first game of the season, how did Mobley do yesterday?

Had AI practiced more he would have had better splits and less turn overs.
