AB went #1 though.

Bennett was pretty awful.

Morrison at least averaged double figures one year

 

[casper90403]

would have said Darko, but damn, he made $50M+ over the career.

Dajuan Wagner

 

[Based Jesus]

 

Anthony Bennett update

Yea, i meant biggest bust as far as #1 picks go.

Bargnani

 

[Air Pope]

Posted this in the Lakers thread, but figured I share it here too:

Magic would call him a great coach too

 

[casper90403]

i can;t call any one who made $60M+ (Brown) or $70M+ (Bargnani) a bust.

Yes you can
You just can't call them broke ....

No other 1st overall pick was outta the league within a few years of being drafted.

I just googled Darko and apparently he's a ******* farmer now.

If that doesn't make you a top 5 bust then I don't know what does. 

Now don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with being a farmer. We need them.

But when you're picked no 2 in one of the greatest draft classes ever and you end up as a farmer....

He got a ring though.


But seriously, he is a bust.

Pistons really blew it . My buddy never lets me forget that I was a firm believer in darko. Think he tried to do mma also not to long ago

 

[antidope]

100% Larry Browns fault.

 

[datznasty]

Chad Ford's fault. I hope he collected at lest 50% commission on Darko's earnings because those Insider articles had me thinking he was Jesus reincarnate as a ball player

 

[cpf262]

Yeah he also said giannis was 1 to 2 years away from playing actual nba minutes and would start in d league when drafted

 

[Arthur Shelby]

Biggest bust ever?

Michael Olowokandi FTW

Maybe he meant Thanasis.

If Detroit had picked either Melo, Wade, or Bosh then they'd probably still be on top of the east.

Humongous blunder there. Melo was coming off a 20/10 campaign & a damn national title as a 18 year old.

Billups
Hamilton
Melo
Sheed
Ben

:x :x :x
