Darko..biggest bust ever?

AKA Coastal · Dec 1, 2008

Atleast in the hobby world. His last 4 SPx Auto/Jerseys /750 RC's have gone for .99 cents. Didn't these use to pull in $40-50? [ebay:1izpqgom]160300661279[/ebay:1izpqgom]

He's the biggest bust that I'm aware of, especially because he was hyped and picked before Carmello, Wade, and of course Chris Bosh. Atleast he's still in the NBA. That's about the only good thing I can say about him.

I am pretty sure he is the biggest bust. He was simply HORRIBLE!

Yeah, but he did average a double-double in the 89-90 season(14.7ppg and 10.1rbpg in 68 games/54 started and in the 91-92 season, he averaged 15ppg in 71 games/61 started). So he's wasn't THAT bad, but he was a "bust" in the sense of being #2 overall and picked ahead of Jordan.

Hobby wise Jay Williams was a pretty big bust. People were spending big bucks on his early products before his accident

This is his 7th year in the NBA and he is only 23. He hasnt done much yet.... but he is still sooooo young that he can turn it around.

Huffamaniac · Dec 3, 2008

not 7. He started in the 2003-04 season, but I agree he is still young

Kwame Brown.

JEA2880 · Dec 6, 2008

A few other names...

Michael Olowokandi (1st overall in '98)
Jonathan Bender (5th overall in '99)
Frederic Weis (15th overall in '99)
Kwame Brown (1st overall in '01)
Eddie Griffin (7th overall in '01, so much talent, now deceased)
Rodney White (9th overall in '01)
Jay Williams (2nd overall in '02)
Nikoloz Tskitishvili (5th overall in '02)
Dajuan Wagner (6th overall in '02, scored 100 in a HS game)
Darko Milicic (2nd overall in '03)
Mike Sweetney (9th overall in '03)
Shaun Livingston (4th overall in '04)
Rafael Araujo (8th overall in '04)
Yaroslav Korolev (12th overall in '05)

These guys are still young but I have the utmost faith they will continue down their road of bustdom:

Patrick O'Bryant (9th overall in '06)
Mouhamed Sene (10th overall in '06)
J.J. Reddick (11th overall in '06, muhahaha fail Reddick fail!)
Joakim Noah (9th overall in '07, sorry Bulls fans but he looks terrible)

For those of you who don't remember Frederic Weis, this is what he is most famous for, besides being drafted by the Knicks a pick ahead of Ron Artest:

Len Bias
Had to do drugs and all...

BGSRCGUY · Dec 10, 2008

Biggest bust because of who teams could've had. 03-04 Draft top 2-3 in terms of the depth and they took him...

Kutzy · Dec 11, 2008

Dont forget that the Pistons did pretty well without him. Think they could have won a championship with someone plugged in there who HAD to have minutes?

Wehttam6 · Dec 12, 2008

He had a double-double today...
