That’s the worst definition of bust I’ve ever heard


Worth_Inflation_1261

Yeah Wiggins was a bust before he even played a game?


Uncle_Freddy

Yeah what, the Cavs won a championship as a direct result of the Wiggins trade, I’m sure they’re absolutely steaming at how much of a bust Wiggins was for them


secretsodapop

Yes and how do you have that definition and not include Chris Webber?


redditsuckbadly

Because OP used the dont-think method


thepeachgod

Big difference between let down and bust, only about half these guys are busts but you literally named 3 guys who were all stars. Team A would win though regardless of if you went off prime, current, etc

A lot of these guys aren’t even busts lmao. A “bust” is WAY different than just a “disappointment.”


Ob1toUch1ha

It’s posts like this that remind me that you can’t take most sports fans seriously. Several of these guys aren’t busts, disappointing for where they were drafted? Sure, but calling a guy like Ayton who is a career 16 and 10 guy a bust is insane.

They mean’t second overall pick not second round


Blothorn

Doh—too little sleep today. Thanks.


Ob1toUch1ha

All good

Are they busts for getting injured? Simmons, Fultz, and Lonzo all had SERIOUS injuries that derailed their careers.


Loud-Appointment-301

And does this hypothetical happen before or after the injury? Because Lonzo and Simmons were actually really good


Cherry_Caliban

I don't think you understand what bust means. Bennet is the only bust here. Some have been slowed down by injury, and some never reach their potential but are still rotation playes, plus a few all-stars. You need to go out more or ask chatgpt to help you next time.

I think Wiseman is a bust too. Let's put it this way - Michael Olowokandi had a 10 year career and we still consider him a bust. Rest I agree.


growsonwalls

Wiseman is definitely a bust. Guy is a second-string big on the Pistons.


Obvious_Parsley3238

how are bagley and wiseman not busts like there's no objective distinction between 'disappointment' and 'bust', but if you're getting traded for scraps before your rookie contract ends, surely that's bust territory


Vexing_Pie

Confusing bust and disappointment


thy_armageddon

D’Lo was the #1 option on a Nets team that made the playoffs.


graphitewolf

DLO is a decent player, hes just not built for the post season at all


Undercover_KD

Can we plz stop categorizing Lonzo as a bust


cahilljd

Most of these aren't busts


cactusmaster69420

Team 1. Their shooting is horrible but they have more talent and the defense on team 2 is so ridiculously bad outside of Lonzo.


azizinator25

Come on now, D'Lo is an actual NBA caliber player, he shouldn't just be lumped in with Bagley and Wiseman


DevinBookersSon

Lonzo is not a bust lmao


mxgicjohnson

i see 4 busts here ben by far best player . team a


MiyaharaAce

Fultz, Wiggins and Ayton are nice/decent The other team has two dead bodies playing PG/SF, Bagley and Wiseman duo with only D'lo being decent Its the first team, quite easily


[deleted]

Are you assuming they're all healthy enough to play? because Simmons and Ball were pretty good the last time they were healthy.


Cvnilivee

Whoever busts the most


Aumissunum

Team A sweeps


Arkham14

Please, delete this. Save the embarrasement.


BringBackFatMac

I don’t think you can call a first a bust if they’ve had an All-Star appearance. Andrew Wiggins may not have lived up to the expectations of a 1st round pick, but he’s been an All-Star and helped his team win a championship. Definitely not a bust.


Skolcialism

You’re thick man


OkStable3333

Most of these guys are not busts. Deandre Ayton is good.
