Top 10 NBA Draft Busts of Past 15 Years

Good post! Enjoyed the trip down memory lane…

Morrison might be a bust, but I’ll take his 2 championship rings he got when he played for the Lakers in 2009 & 2010.

CarMur, a few below nailed it… Hasheem Thabeet taken 2nd by the Grizzlies in the ’09 draft… 
thabeet defines bust based on his salary vs output alone; not to mention the boy never showed improvement in any aspect of his game…ever… but wait, here’s where thabeet pick redefines bust… taken 3rd in 2009 draft… by the okc thunder,  james harden…. the “beard” who came off the thunder bench in the just wrapped 2011 west.conf.semis, and simply smacked the grizz in the mouth, everydamntime the series tipped in memphis’ favor… if you think hardin doesn’t remember who passed on him in that draft, then explain why he was still shootin 3s, up 19, with 2 mins to play, against the grizz 3rd team…,geez even after a bust player is long gone, the ghosts of that draft will do more than haunt, they’ll kick your ass, and keep shooting 3′s over your dead body. 

am i a grizz fan?  absolutely
was i stunned by the thabeet pick? absolutely
had i ever heard of james hardin before this series? absolutely not
do i think james hardin is a schmuck? (this offseason) absolutely
if i was james hardin, would i have reveled in the same situation? hell yes, absolutely

(oh, if you do a top 25 all time bust list; don’t be afraid to come back to the grizz’s  draft history, and look for the late ’90s draft pick and 50 million we burned on the 800lb corn-fed cowboy outta okstate, Bryant “Big Country” Reeves… 

Sam Bowie anyone?

How Thabeet isnt on this I dont know. He is the first, to 5 draft pick to play in the d-league

Really Tractor Trailer. he just passed away, kind of a low blow
