Feels unfair to label Jabari Parker and Dante Exum as outright busts without mentioning that both suffered multiple major injuries within their first three years in the league. Jabari in particular was productive from the get-go and even had stretches where he could shoot reliably from beyond the arc during the seasons when he actually got to play himself in rhythm after his first ACL tear.

Way to harsh on Deandre Hunter. Most people always saw him as an above average role player, which he is. He was never thought to be Kawhi Leonard on defense, and he still is an above average defender, just doesn't show when he is on the floor with the worst defender in the league with Trae Young. At the end of the day, he was the 4th overall pick because it was widely believed that his floor was an above average NBA player. Needa watch the Hawks more often, he is rarely ever the issue.

@Smido83 10 ай бұрын

Yeah... dont get the Bust label here. He is an realively efficient 15 PPG starter and above average defender... What did Briges average in Phoenix again? The problem is the team around him. To many touches go to the 2 guards. And up to now he also had to share touches with either Huerter/Bey or Collins on the wing. I am sure he can be a 20 PPG scorer in the right role as a 3rd option. Lets see if and how it works with him and Bey starting at the 3/4 before calling him a bust...

@willhughes4415 10 ай бұрын

He's not a bust he just didn't have the potential that most 4th overall picks have. Will he ever been an All Star, no, but could he be a very good role player on any championship team, yes.
