Makes me think is it better to be a bust but people still talk about you are just forgotten completely

[@justinland1208]

I’d prefer if I was forgotten. Though I feel that way now 😅

[@alod247]

Idk. It would be annoying AF to be disrespected everywhere you go by people you are MUCH better than at what they criticize you for.

[@CelabWilliams-gb6rm]

⁠@@alod247why would you care though? I feel like most of us would be like “you can’t do it though” like even if you work at say Walmart you can’t clowned on for having a job from a. Bum.

[@TheMissiIe]

Be great for 2 years, secure a $25m/3y contract, then fake back injuries

[@alod247]

@@CelabWilliams-gb6rm because if you spend your whole life wanting to be “great” only to end up widely regarded as the opposite, that’s going to bother anyone that actually gives a damn about how their career turned out.

[@samuelamankwa]

Watching The Jahlil Okafor part made me realize how Joel Embiid being injuried 1st 2 seasons was a blessing in disguise for him because he was able to transform his game

[@AndreNoStacks]

Ahh wiggins and jabari were supposed to be bron and melo lol good times

[@TheBastardRJ]

Wiggins was supposed to be maple Jordan 😔😔😔

[@JimBob-jr5up]

Wiggins highlights a few things. 1. Uttery absurd expectations by people who have no idea how to eval players. People who dont grasp the very easy to understand; worst case - likely - best case, potential comparisons. I'll go ahead and throw in people who dont quite understand the word "potential". 2. The importance of being on the right team for developing. 3. Giving players time to develop. While i dont think this is true in Wiggins case, one could perceive it that way and it is important.

[@nymade4130]

Being a forgotten bust (pause) lowkey a good thing (super pause) it means you’re not INSANELY bad like Kwame Brown or something

[@ColdHoops]

Kwame played in the league for 12 years. That's a W either way, even if he didn't get a max or close to a max contract 🤷‍♂️💪

[@rishyrish]

The worst part is naming Dante exum who is doing well on the mavs right now 😂

[@PHXNKVHXLIC]

He’s doing good…. For a 20th pick but he was 5 or 6

[@rishyrish]

@@PHXNKVHXLIC yea and was injured more than half the time and went to euro league and hopped and came back so idk 🤷🏾 Kyle Lowry was the same way

[@henry7486]

Isaac Okoro wasn’t meant to be a star but he was meant to better than he currently is. He doesn’t really play like them but he was meant to be on the level of a prime Marcus Smart or Derrick White. A really good starter basically

[@ItsHughMungus]

I think it’s not insane to think Jhalil could have been a low level all star if he was drafted in the early 00s

[@tjanderson5892]

I think it is lol. Think centers are the easiest to draft really and Jahlil didn’t really do anything better than any other center. Was supposed to be elite w/ the low post game, but that’s also the easiest game to teach and also doesn’t help much if ya can’t knock your FTs. Then he was just a waste on def lol. But no reason he couldn’t be Nurkic in todays game if he put in the work maybe

[@ItsHughMungus]

@@tjanderson5892 I mean he averaged 18 his first year only with those post moves. Don’t think it’s out of the relm he could have been a 20-23 ppg big which back then was low level all star numbers, similar to Elton Brand

[@tjanderson5892]

@@ItsHughMungus he sure did. For the worst NBA teams in history lol. Think they ended up w/ 10 wins, but they were so bad that the league stepped in to fire Hinkie 😂. He had the greenest light possible and was decently efficient on offense, but he also killed their pace and was a negative when ya include FTs. So on a team actively trying to lose he got to play 30+ min a night for 10 wins. Think he could be an NBA player, but post up offense isn’t valued anymore especially since he’d just clog the lane up for his teammates while not being a threat to even dribble on the perimeter lol.

[@ItsHughMungus]

@@tjanderson5892 I agree thats why he was phased out for the most part, but in the early 2000s you could be a slow footed post up big man and still find success

[@tjanderson5892]

@@ItsHughMungus for sure. Just don’t see him being a low level star or much more than a 12-16 min a night player in that era. Having to check Shaq, Duncan, Yao, Love, Mourning, KG, Lamarcus, Bosh, Dwight, and Bynum would have him BBQ chicken. I honestly felt like he’d have had a better chance improving his game and succeeding in the current NBA when his skill set is rare, but still has some value if good enough. Like Nurkic, or Zubac maybe.

[@Patrennessy]

Solz hit tf outta that 9:51

[@Gurberbull]

If jhalil came in around 08 he’d be tuff

[@_tuss1731]

18:25 straight up could’ve just been Sengun last year imo he was like that Edit: borderline all star even

The suns and kings has too have the record of the most draft bust they were going band for band with each other

[@a1sawse939]

1:03 I agree 100%

[@Rosinronin]

I knew Tatum was that guy when I started watching him back in high school. He was a senior my freshman year and he won Gatorade national player of the year. The best stl representative in the game rn

[@tjanderson5892]

Ya, but ppl who saw Tatum also prob saw Cam Reddish and imagined they’d be birds of a feather. Tatum shining and Cam on his like 5th team in 4yrs lol

[@brentcrockton]

Yo they though Okoro was similar to Kwy wit his two-way potential 😅

[@ColdHoops]

Let's be real, though. After they got LeVert, then Spida in one year (different seasons), whatever plans or expectations they had for Okoro went completely out the window

[@rapgodreloaded9259]

Marvin Bagley is a more explosive Jahlil Okafor with long range.

[@saucetiny]

Another crazy thumbnail 😭

[@AlexKr.]

By this "after 5 years we know who you are" logic, Zion is just a 22ppg scorer and not first option caliber. And I totally agree. Hasn't developed a three pointer, plays no D even though he has the tools and athleticism, inconsistent, indisciplined, can't control his weight... etc... Why do people still say "HIS CEILING IS THROUGH THE ROOF, FUTURE MVP!". This is just delusion, overrating at it's finest. 5 seasons and he is averaging less ppg and fg% compared to his rookie season... My god please hold him accountable for his expectations as a player

[@skoolboy609215]

Jabari Parker was a bucket he just couldn't stay healthy... I think he would've been an easy 20/8/5 guy easy

[@tjanderson5892]

If Draggy Bender was a mid 2nd rd pick would he still be in the league as a big body for collecting fouls w/ some slight potential?

[@JacionBryant]

Chill on lozo ball

[@giovannifeliciano837]

Tyrese and bane are in that draft right?

[@clarktownsend8991]

What's funny is Otto Porter was a huge reason the Warriors won that 4th title.

[@JimboCruntz]

Josh Jackson has to be the biggest waste of potential in a while. Imagine getting Jimmy Butler and Kawhi comparisons and not even becoming a starter. All the physical gifts, no effort.

[@JimBob-jr5up]

I think Josh Jackson was very much a situation of being drafted to and not being traded quickly enough by, the wrong team.

[@Thehughesgaming]

Wasn’t the Josh Jackson draft the year the Cs took JB or am I insane

[@jmo7644]

And that's why we try not to compare prospects anymore, it makes the expectations too high when we say this guy plays like Jkidd

[@golden10ful]

Honestly if jahlil Okafor was drafted in the early 2010s he would've strived because in the 2000s him being a big man would have been harder for him. In the 90s/2000s he would have been fucked because there's are so many good big men, he definitely would have been a lower tier center back then. Other than 2010 through 2015 he'd probably only do good in the 60s or 70s bro was just a bad pick especially for Philly drafting 3 centers in a row where 2 of them were just ass picks

[@ColdHoops]

I don't believe most lottery picks are busts. Not everyone that's a lottery pick will end up being the leading or 2nd leading scorer on their team. As long as players are given opportunities and find 'their' roles, that's fine with me🤷‍♂️ Example, look at Gradey in Toronto. He probably won't get any 'real' minutes until they've moved on from Siakam and OG🤷‍♂️

[@jmo7644]

Damn even 4 seasons seem high for today's standards

[@S_VC]

[@djhasta5031]

Andrew Wiggins was a more bust and disappointment than Jabari Parker and still is.

[@ColdHoops]

After Jabari tore his ACL a second time, it was GG

[@Highspirekid13]

Okafor also had bad coaches that didn’t know how to play him. As a Sixers fans I will admit that. The coaches did not help him

Billups took 5 or 6 years too.

[@alexsmith3598]

I would say you could see Steph was a good scorer. I guess you could hint at bust because he was "small" being hurt all the time. I mean it's rolled ankles, but you know media.

[@JimBob-jr5up]

@@alexsmith3598 He was a tweener and early in his career the league was still way more traditional and tweeners didnt really work out except as 6th men, back up role players, etc. Warriors already had Monta running the show so it was a weird combo for a bit and no matter what any Warriors fan says now, i clearly remember most fans wanted to trade him.
