World NBA Lottery Busts

[Emperor Young]

Kwame Brown, Big Country Reeves, Pervis Ellison - I can't believe this guy was draft 1st.

Jianlian shouldn't even be in here. He did pretty good last year. It's very hard to gauge how good he is in his rookie year. He had like the second most PPG out of the rookies (behind Durant), or at least I'm pretty sure he did. That's pretty good. I think he'll be at least a decent player.

Yi isn't in this.  He's been here one season and wasn't all that bad.  Give him time to fail ;-)

Tskitishvili has to be the winner, hands down.  Keep in mind, when you call someone a bust their draft position matters.  Wasn't Tskitishvili  #1?

He was taken 5th.

Espn should have a reality NBA show where they put terrible World lottery picks into a 1 on 1 tournament. 

Round 1 - Yi Jianlian vs. Rafael Araujo
          Nickoloz Tskitishvili vs. Darko Milicic
          Alek Redojevic vs. Olivier Saint-Jean
          Saer Sene vs. Yaroslav Korolev

I am not sure who wins this tournament of inneptitude on the court, but the real winner would be the NBA fans at home!!!!

Where is Bargnani? He was the 1st pick. I'll easily put him ahead of Sene, who was unlucky with all those injuries, on a bust ranking.

Funny, Ajinca was still taken too high in the past draft, but a few years ago, he would have easily been a lottery pick. I lost a lot of respect for NBA GMs during those years. Skita and Darko were the most insane picks. Guys like Abdul-Wahad, Radojevíc and Korolev were decent prospects for where they were drafted. Only the first panned out to some extent - he would have been solid without the injuries - but they were understandable picks. Skita beats Darko easily though.

Exactly my thought, I'll have Bargnani in there all day before I even think about Yi atm.
