The players drafted from 2020 to 2022 are still young and have plenty of time to turn things around if their career hasn’t started off well. So I’m asking you to go out a limb: which player drafted in that span are you willing to 100% take it to the bank say is a bust? You have to be willing to eat your words if you’re wrong and that player turns it around. I’m not including 2023 because it seems wrong to call a player a bust before they’ve played a single regular season game.
I guess the most obvious answer to this James Wiseman. He already busted for the Warriors, he was terrible in a few injury plagued seasons for them and they didn’t even get a lot by trading him away. Especially considering they could have had LaMelo Ball. He could turn it around in Detroit, but it’s not been a good start for him.
Which player are you 100% certain is a bust already? And are you willing to eat crow if you’re wrong?
Orlando fans, how’s Jalen Suggs looking? I haven’t heard too much about him, so I’m guessing he might be being towards bust status
Best perimeter defender in the team, weak as a shooter so far, but we still have hopes he can hit league average from the arc.
Even when staying slightly below league average on offense, his defense makes a difference. This season he will probably start and we will see if the hours come true. If not, still solid bench layer.
Probably one of the deciding factor where the magic end this season
He’s excellent on defense but can’t do much offensively at all. As a starter, he’s our 5th option. Hoping his shooting improves. Our sub is delusionally optimistic about him lol.
More disappointing than an actual bust. Still has a good chance of having a good long career just because of his defense.
