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.
Jarrett Culver. 6th overall pick that was in the G league within 3 seasons
The number of athletic two way wings that never pan out is scary. All because Kawhi turned out the way he did, guys like Culver, Knox, and Reddish are drafted highly. Even ones that are still in the league aren’t even close to Kawhi level, like Patrick Williams, Zaire Williams, Josh Green.
am i missing something ? i kno Cam Reddish ain’t a PREMIER player but is he not at least solid ? genuinely curious btw, haven’t really watched him ball
I mean, Kawhi has been the best player on a championship team, almost nobody is actually on his level.
The fact that we traded Dario Saric and pick 11 to move up to try to get Garland and landed on Culver. Gersson really f’d that chase.
Meanwhile, had we sat at 11:
