Top 10 Draft Busts of the Decade

if you look at Yi, he has an above-average mid-shooting game

If you look at Yi, you see he shoots 36% on two-point jumpers. (85th out of 134 pf/c's.)

I don't see how you can call Sweetney a bust compared to the rest of this list when he played 2000 good minutes for the Knicks. More than anybody else on the list. Even when you throw in 2005-06. (I'm ignoring the "Enter 2000 Draft" entry.)

I wouldn't put him above anyone on the list one through nine but I think you could sneak him in at ten.

Only if you consider some one who played 3000+ solid regular season minutes and 180 quality playoff minutes more of a bust than someone who has yet to be a useful player and was drafted higher.

I get that and I'm not saying Sweetney's an awful player, but he was out of the league in four years. I'd give Yi another year or two to redeem himself but anything beyond that would be too generous.

i think Kwame Brown should be 1st on the list...

Shelden Williams could have made the list. Picked over Brandon Roy, Rajon Rondo, Paul Millsap and several other solid players. The Landlord isn't as awful as Adam Morrison (Damn, AMMO's rookie season was even worse than I thought, he should be #1), but he certainly hasn't had an impressive career thus far. Patrick O'Bryant was also picked about 30 spots too high.

Good choices. Dajuan Wagner is another one I'd suggest.

Yeah. Shelden is saved by Morrison's awfulness. To me, number 1 pick from their year was a bust too. Bargnani seems to be weak on D and shoot 3 minded.

Bargnani's not a bust. It was a weak draft, he came second in ROY voting, and was really good in the second half of last season. It went unnoticed because Toronto sucked last year.
