Biggest NBA Draft Busts
The Top Ten
Look at all the players after him
#2 Pick (Over Melo, Wade, Bosh)
Gregory Wayne Oden Jr. is an American professional basketball player who last played for the Jiangsu Dragons of the Chinese Basketball Association. Led Ohio State to the national championship game, and doesn't do crap in the NBA
#1 Pick (over Kevin Durant, and Al Horford)
He had a worse and more disappointing career than anyone on this list. He was out of the league in 4 years
#1 pick (before Oladipo, Nerleans Noel, and Giannia Antenkoumpo)
#2 Pick (Currently in D-league) Over Tyreke Evans, Stephen Curry
Taken over Harden and Curry
Hasheem the dream
Kwame Brown, God bless him, is a scrub
#1 Pick (Over Pau Gasol, Joe Johnson, Zach Randolph, Gerald Wallace)
Kwame Brown is a bona-fide scrub!
He was drafted right before Michael Jordan. That pretty much speaks for itself.
Taken over Jordan, Barkley, and Stockton
#1 Pick (Over Paul Pierce, Dirk N, Vince Carter)
Just the nickname "The candyman" means this guy is a scrub and a half and it doesn't help you when you're taken over Paul Pierce, Vince Carter and Dirk Nowitzki - J-Rockx
#2 Pick (over amar'e and caron butler)
The Contenders
#2 Pick (Over Michael Redd, Jamal Crawford)
#9 Pick (Over Kobe and Nash)
Picked over Buddy Hield, Jamal Murray, Caris LeVert, Pascal Siakam, and the ROTY Malcolm Brogdon. He was projected to be a defensive maestro with high all star potential. Instead, he averaged 5 points per game, and didn’t start a single game in 2018/19.
Taken over LaMarcus Aldridge, Rajan Rondo, and Kyle Lowry
Andrea who? Exactly
Leonard Kevin "Len" Bias was a first-team All-American college basketball forward at the University of Maryland. If you don't want to be on this list, stay off the drugs!
No way does he deserve to be on the list. He didn't play in a game and he would've been a great player.
The epitome of "busts", he simply threw it all away. What an idiot.
1 turnover per life!
6th overall pick in the 2009 draft by the Minnesota Timberwolves (in front of Stephen Curry, Jrue Holiday, and Taj Gibson)
1st Overall pick in 1995 Draft. (Before Antonio McDyess, Jerry Stackhouse, Rasheed Wallace, and Kevin Garnett)
