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.
As a Nuggets fan I laughed so hard when the Knicks drafted Kevin Knox. I remember watching him leading up to the draft thinking “this dude should absolutely NOT be a lottery pick”. To me he just looked to slow and he never actually made a real impact on games. He was just 6’9, that was it.
And then MPJ fell to us and I was so happy.
