@@anonymousperson3023He’s talking about football and Ben Arfa was player who all his teammates thought would win the Ballon D’or(basically MVP) but even with his talent he made Ben Simmons look like a dedicated professional
"Injuries =/= bust" Then proceeds to list a guy who had a strong rookie season, despite coming into the league with diabetes, then never looked the same again after tearing his ACL before year 2 at number four. That tracks.
imo Andrea bargnani shouldn't been on this list. he was a solid roleplayer and tbf the 2006 draft class was a weaker draft class, so I believe there were worse draft picks
I woulda put Jahlil Okafor on the list over Bargnani. I think with busts it’s not just where you were picked and how well you played, but also who you were picked over.
also i will say noah lyles is great for what he said like what is every sports league in the usa thinking it should be national not world it makes no sense and its really messed up
There’s a difference though. When a guy like Oden was healthy, he looked like a future all-nba center. Bargnani/ Wiseman have had injuries sure but even when they were healthy, they weren’t good
@@AndrewFenichel I mean yeah he was awful defensively wise and had terrible decision making but i think he would’ve lasted way longer in the league as a 3 pt sniper-rim protecter dude if he never had knee issues lol. like a kenyon martin type #1 overall pick not good good but serviceable and maybe a couple all star appearances.
@@CelticsNBAChampions2024 He was on a 20 win team lol. Torontos culture at the time was 0 defense too yet andrea took all the blame cuz he was the #1 pick. But either way he played no effort
@@CelticsNBAChampions2024Kelly Oubre Jr averaged 20 on a bad team last season smh. Averaging 20 on a bad team isn’t good. If Kelly Oubre Jr was a top three pick I’d say he’s a bust even if he averaged 20.
The worst part for Anthony Bennet is that he wasn’t even supposed to go #1. It was an underwhelming class all together and I honestly think VO goes 1 if almost any other team has that pick. It’s unfortunate that AB got those expectations placed on him
In 1972 LaRue Martin was the #1 pick ahead of Bob McAdoo and Dr J (who jumped to the ABA). Martin played a few years as a backup on very bad Portland teams.
Honesty man, 2013 draft who else was there to pick ? Olodipo ? No one knew gannis. But darko ? U had Carmelo, d wade, bosh still on the board. If u took melo or wade the pistons might 3 peat which is insane to think about
Bagley went second in one of the deepest drafts ever. Honestly I think when it's all over 2018 could be the goat draft class just because of how deep it goes. You have Luka who will be that all time great guy that every top draft class needs and Shai who could also be that if OKC live up to the hype and they win a bunch of chips. Brunson, Mikael Bridges, Dante De Vincemzo and Mitchel Robinson are all expected to make New York legit contenders and they all came from this class. JJJ has already won DPOY. Love him or hate him Trae is one oof the best offensive players ever. MPJ is a key piece at Denver. And then you just have a bunch of guys like Ayton, Sexton, Miles Bridges, Anfernee Simons and I'm sure there are more who are more than solid in this league.
U automatically have good credibility IMHO BC of your opinion on Greg Oden. I completely agree BC he was a monster while on the court. As a Blazers fan I completely agree that Greg was unlucky. Great video! ✊🏽🔥🤟🏽👏🏽
Kwame should be lower ranked on a bust list. All the narratives aside he had damn near 10 year NBA career, and some double digit scoring years. I remember him eating Amare’s lunch one of the playoff series between Lakers-Suns. He definitely wasn’t the 1st pick but he’s a dude where confidence was shot early (MJ terrorized him).
Andrew: thinking Derrick Williams was gonna be the next LeBron was the time I don’t think I have ever been no wrong. No one: his mavs vs Celtics prediction leaks 💀
Larue Martin was a blazers second overall pick in the 70’s and he honestly should crack this list he was terrible and one of the worst nba busts ever and he wasn’t ruined by injuries he just wasn’t good
I’m surprised no one’s talking about Ben Simmons or Andrew Wiggins. But Andrew did have some injury problems and Ben Simmons was all nba player for several years. And one of the best defensive guards in the league. So neither should be on the list, but I opened it fully expecting both to be hot topics.
IMO Kandiman and Bargnani weren't bust at all. Both had long serviceable careers. They had more naysayers than people saying they'll be superstars during the draft process. Drafted during a BIG centric league and/or weak drafts led to them being drafted #1
Dragan Bender was so forgettable we all forget he was a bust. Got drafted over Jamal Murray Dejounte Murray Domantas Sabonis Pascal Siakam And a bunch of other really solid players
Counter-argument: Bennett’s the worst bust in terms of the player’s individual performance but not in the franchise’s missed opportunity value: -Darko was drafted over Melo, Bosh, and D-Wade -Kwame was drafted over Pau Gasol -Thabeet was drafted over James Harden and Steph Curry -Bagley was drafted over Luka and Trae If Cleveland didn’t draft Bennett, they would’ve taken either Victor Oladipo or Nerlens Noel. Either of those would’ve been better but not franchise-changing like what those other teams missed out on.
Adam Morrison def wasn’t the best but he was also unlucky he tore his ACL badly in a 07 pre season game vs the Lakers on a simple crossover so he didn’t get the best chance but he did join the Lakers and win 2 championships with Kobe and Kobe even said some good things about him
James Wiseman is higher. He's on that Anthony Bennett run. 3 teams in 4 years and Probably out of the League after that 4th year. As for Darko while he was definitely a bust,holy shit did the Pistons destroy his confidence and the start of his career. Imagine drafting a Guy as a Number 2 in an absolutely stacked draft and playing him 4 minutes per game in his rookie season
This guy does not think if you are a injury prone player and don’t play you are a bust. The term is bust for the organization that expended assets and expected a return. If you are number one overall pick and did not bring a number one pick return you are a bust
I wouldn't call somebody like Bennett a bust. They also shouldn't be called a bust for being drafted 20 spots higher than they should have been. Like yeah, he may have been able to do more to make the pick fit, but with that high of a pick, you're expected to be a day 1 HOF or you get no chance to train and improve. So if he just had a reasonable pick, idk his career. Probably still really short but it's not his fault being drafted 1 overall.
What about LaRue Martin? He was picked 1st overall by the Blazers ahead of Dr. J and Bob McAdoo in the 1972 NBA draft. He would go on to average 5 points for his entire career.
Where is LaRue Martin? I know this is a more current list but he was drafted first overall in the 1970s and was one of the biggest busts of all time and has to work at Fed X
Bennett didn’t draft himself number one. The Cavs were idiots. Had they done their due diligence, he would have been a respectable role player as a second rounder.
Honestly Anthony Bennet just was not ready yet he came in as the #1 ovr pick and just flat out sucked gotta feel for him tho many people consider him the worst oat
I'm not sure about Bargnani. He was pretty good all things considered, and not playing for any good teams isn't really his problem (it was before the player empowerment era). There are far worse high picks to choose from, some recent examples off the top of my head: Marvin Williams, Jay Williams, Derrick Williams. No, I have nothing against the name. They just happen to have the same one. Also, Len Bias and Chris Washburn from the 1986 draft could be considered, as taking drugs is not the same as injuries-it's the player's own choice and responsibility. EDIT: I forgot that you did include Derrick Williams. Sorry.
Also worth Noting 2006(the Draft class of Bargani) was Weak AF. Yeah it had Aldridge drafted right under him and Brandon Roy at number 6 but those are the only all Stars in the Lottery. So he was Pretty good considered to most top tier prospects of his class.
Get real. The #1 pick HANDS DOWN was the Celtics picking Len Bias at #2. He never even suited up, as he died of a drug overdose a few days after getting drafted. The rest of these players ALL PLAYED at least.
It makes it even worse when you realize the Kings could’ve taken Luka, or JJJ instead of Marvin Bagley
yep. I talk about that in the longer version on my IG
Or Trae, Shai, Brunson
@@chew.8740I’m pretty sure only Luka and jjj were seen as top 3 pick talent in the draft.
@@chew.8740 That’s true but I just said Luka and JJJ because JJJ would’ve been a great fit and Luka was the best player
Don’t remind me..

Man wtf why Andrea bargnani ? He average 21 one season then got very unlucky with injuries. He was a monster back then
Him over Hayes or Kai jones smh
"Monster" lmao
“monster” is absolutely vile
“monster” is absolutely diabolical
Cesare parliamo seriamente, ha avuto una carriera molto sotto le aspettative ed oltretutto non ha mai fatto nulla di rilievo con la nazionale
"Injuries =/= bust"
Then proceeds to list a guy who had a strong rookie season, despite coming into the league with diabetes, then never looked the same again after tearing his ACL before year 2 at number four. That tracks.
He shot 37.6% his rookie year
that is nowhere near a “strong” season

Marvin bagley is better than wiseman. Is actually a solid starting center.
The worst part for Anthony Bennet is that he wasn’t even supposed to go #1. It was an underwhelming class all together and I honestly think VO goes 1 if almost any other team has that pick. It’s unfortunate that AB got those expectations placed on him
In 1972 LaRue Martin was the #1 pick ahead of Bob McAdoo and Dr J (who jumped to the ABA). Martin played a few years as a backup on very bad Portland teams.
He's only considering post-1985 (lottery based) picks. Otherwise, LaRue Martin would likely be #1.

But darko ? U had Carmelo, d wade, bosh still on the board.

I think James Wiseman did kind of get unlucky with injuries but I still agree with him on the list.
He is 23
Rasheed Wallace would say the opposite of Kwame Brown. I was wrong about Derrick Williams as well. He was a a beast at Arizona.

IMO Kandiman and Bargnani weren't bust at all. Both had long serviceable careers. They had more naysayers than people saying they'll be superstars during the draft process. Drafted during a BIG centric league and/or weak drafts led to them being drafted #1
Anthony Bennett is baffling, how could a professional NBA team with pro scouts be *so* wrong
Actually Bagley is great when he’s healthy as well
When you factor in the fact that the Pistons could’ve had Melo, Bosh, or D-Wade, Darko looks like an even bigger bust.
Hasheem went before harden curry derozan smdh...that is wild
Brown played 12 or 13 seasons. Definitely didn't live up to the hype but absolutely not a bust
W beat
You should do top 10
busts in american sports history
Marvin Bagley is more hated in Sacramento than Osama bruh 😂
And I’m all for it
Dragan Bender was so forgettable we all forget he was a bust. Got drafted over

Counter-argument: Bennett’s the worst bust in terms of the player’s individual performance but not in the franchise’s missed opportunity value:

Really accurate but maybe kwame brown deserved a spot
It’s crazy because Bagleys not bad, the guys behind him were just better
Top 10 draft mistakes? Like when the Twolves had the 5th and 6th pick but didn’t get Curry who went at 7? Or Luka going 3rd overall

Does death count as injury? Just wondering if I can throw Len Bias on there at #1 or not.
What do you think?
I remember people were saying how Morrison would be great and he was in college but man the Hornets pick so many bad players
