I'm still upset they put yi on there when Michael Sweetney was drafted

Your humble narrator received all sorts of stick from Toronto backers for calling Hoffa a bust after his rookie year, as if he was ready for a bust-out season at age 25 after turning the ball over on nearly 21 percent of the possessions he used up in 2004-05. Raps fans, as they sometimes do, warmed to a dose of reality a year later when Araujo continued to stink, and Jazz fans got a taste in his third season before he was mercifully left to play overseas. And Rob Babcock? Don't draft players who are two months away from their 24th birthday, unless they're averaging 30 and 20 in the NCAAs. It's not Hoffa's fault; he worked his butt off. He was just a huge reach at eighth overall.
At least Eddy Curry had some pretty productive seasons.Originally Posted by Carlos Tevez
This is one of the worst lists I've ever seen. How are you gonna call Jianlian a bust after 2 decent seasons while excluding Greg Oden from the discussion?
Anyways, although it may be unfair to label them as such, Jay Williams and Shaun Livingston were busts.
Eddy Curry is another huge bust that comes to mind.
I do agree with #1 though, Darko turned out to be a huge disappointment.

Because Oden has only played one season after coming back from a serious injury. Jury's still out on Oden. Yi, on the other hand, hasalready been traded. Milwaukee didn't even want to ride out his rookie contract and see if he'd developOriginally Posted by Carlos Tevez

I blame Larry Brown for the Darko thing
