Disappointing finish perhaps. Definitely not a bust.

Re: The biggest recent bust
Whats the criteria?

Top 10 - Rodney White. Out of the league for good apparently.

Darko is only 22 years old still so its a bit early to write him off. He is an early candidate though for recent top 3 pick busts.

Kwame Brown and Joe Smith were both top #1 picks. Definte busts for that.

Andrew Bogut is bust like for a top 3.

I have to say that Meija just didn't get a chance. I had both Samb and Meija penciled in to many potential rotations.

Carefull. Anyone can sign him now. Don't want that kind of talent falling into the wrong hands.

That 1998 draft where we just missed out on Nowitzki and Pierce was about as bad as missing out on Anthony, Bosh, Wade or Heinrich in 2003. Can you imagine if Pierce had been the starting SF the last 9 years , with Tay coming off the bench and everything else was constant??? we'd be going for number # six in a row now...
