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?
Okoro will probably end up playing ten years just on his defensive ability, but yeah as a top-5 pick he’s a disappointment.
He actually scores with decent efficiency overall, but he has basically no playmaking ability and an iffy outside shot.
