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.

    Does Trey Burke count? Was the 9th pick in 2013, and has a whopping 50.0% career true shooting with averages of 9.5/2/3. Had a couple half-respectable seasons off the bench from 2017-2021, but is out of the league now.

    As a Jazz fan the other one that comes to mind is Enes Kanter/Freedom who was the 3rd pick in 2011, but I’m not sure how “sneaky” of a bust he is.
