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.

    Josh green is starting to put up pretty solid numbers, and had a few standout games for Dallas last year. I don’t think you can call him a bust?

      Never said he was a bust. He’s a great young two way wing. Just don’t think he ever gets becomes anything better than someone like a PJ tucker type player, which is good, but not great.

        I’m an Aussie sixers fan, so I see both play. Josh Green is light years ahead of PJ. Green averaged 16/4/4 with Luka out, and can shoot non-corner 3s and at the rim. He won’t have a Jalen Brunson level glowup outside the Mavs, but don’t be surprised if he scores 18-20 and has 5-6 assists when he inevitably moves on.
