Busts just waiting to happen

i don't like that Anthony Bennet hasn't finished any of his last three seasons healthy. That's bad

Some athletically-gifted knucklehead with elite physical tools and no brain.

I have a feeling that though there may not be any superstars and almost no All-Star caliber players in this draft, there might be more than a few non-traditional stars in the sense of guys who are really valuable and have a major impact on the game despite barely averaging 10 points a game for their career.  Dudes like Kawhi Leonard and Kenneth Faried.

It wouldn't surprise me if Len and Olynyk are bust.  In some situations, like in the open court, Len's not slow or unathletic but his moves and decisionmaking in the post come at a glacial pace.  He's one of the worst bigs against double-teams I've seen in college.  Olynyk has the potential to be a big whose offense isn't good enough to make up for his bad defense and rebounding.  It's laughable that his agent is trying to sell him as a small forward.  Good grief.

I think Porter's pretty safe, with a solid floor.  He's just too well-rounded and smart on the court to bust.  He and Green were similar players in college but Green turned out to be nothing like he was projected.  I can't imagine anyone projected Green would go from being a multi-dimensional threat to just basically a scorer and solid individual defender whose playmaking is just so-so and whose rebounding is atrocious.

Depends on what the expectations are for these players this year. I think professional basketball people are not setting very high expectations for this class and so if its one of those drafts that stinks, like the 2000 Draft or the 2006 Draft, are there really going to be busts if the expectations are that these players won't be very good?
