Knowing what we know right now, who do you think will be classified as a bust?I'm thinking Patrick O'Bryant for the Warriors could be a bust. Same with Saer Sene.
I agree with your two picks compleltley. No other guys selected in the top 10 stand out as much as they do. Saer Sene is the 3rd center on that team when everyone is healthy, and he isnt experienced what so ever. His basketball talent is very raw, and he isnt on the NBA level yet. O'Byrant I view was extremely overy hyped after the NCAA Tournament last year. I guess since he led his team to a great showing, that everybody was all over his nuts. I never grew that fond of him. And he hasnt shown me really anything in the NBA to change my views on him.
I've never thought that Redick would be any more than a role player, a solid shooter that doesn't have the skills start, but can put up many points if needed, sort of a poor man's Ben Gordon.The Warriors really need POB to reach his potential. They just traded a ton of big man depth in Troy Murphy and Ike Diogu for Al Harrington. If Andris Biedrins happens to go down with an injury, they are really screwed. Their big man rotation isF: Al Harrington / Zarko CabarkapaC: Andris Biedrins / Patrick O'Bryant / Adonal Foyle
Adam Morrison was a draft bust! He has played terrible...another one is LeMarcus Aldridge, I havent heard ne thing at all
Shannon Brown for the Cavaliers has been a 1st round bust as for as I am sure.I think they should of went after someone else. Hope he can work out sooner or later.

He has been kind of lost in the shuffle with guys like Randolph, Przybilla, and Magloire, but when he has been given minutes he has produced well. Aldridge is not a bust, he's going to be a good player in this league.As for Morrison, it's too early. He was expected to shoot a little bit better, but he isn't a major bust. He's still a top candidate for Rookie of the Year, although I do not believe he should get it.I'm taking Sene, without a doubt. I thought it was a ridiculously terrible decision to take him at 10. When that happened, I had a messed up scowl on my face and I just shook my head. He has only been playing organized basketball for like two years and everything about him is raw. He is athletic and he's a good shot blocker, but other than that, he's very raw. Terrible pick for Seattle.

I haven't seen him play much, and people overrated him when he came into the league.</div>First off, half way through the year I think it's to hard to really start judging them as the busts or not. Many people just have been in hard situations to find much playing time, other's just need a year or two before they develop. As for Redick he was injured to start the first month or so of the season because of back problems and stuff. Then Redick had to deal with ball changes and players changing around him all the time. It's been really hard to get used to the NBA this season for Redick. What I have noticed when he is in, he is really fluid on the offensive end and has his moves put together. The ball leaves his hands well because of sweet stroke, he is a smart basketball player knows how to run the floor and what to do when he ball is in his hands. Redick is constantly trying to move without the ball and get open off the ball. He has one of the best headfakes in the league, everytime he uses it the person on him leaves the floor. His shot is usually straight on, he just doesn't have the range yet because of strenght issues. His shots always seem to come off the rim in the front, meaning he isn't powerful enough yet. Once he gets that down, Redick will be a great addition to the Magic.I saw Sear Sene brought up, and while he was in the top 10 of this draft, did anyone really expect much from him? I don't view him as a bust because he was viewed as a project that was going to take time anyways. He was brought in on pure potential, and nothing else, so it's hard for me to call him a bust just yet. Give it three years when he is still not doing anything, and then I will call him a bust.
Morrison and ReddickMorrison sucks, PER wise Jarron Collins and Tony Battie are better than him, and that is pathetic

Tony Battie and Jarron Collins are better at him per, for what? They better scorers per, or what are you even talking about? Furthermore his shot is not completely on, but he is doing a nice job at the NBA level every time I watch. He has a very wide variety of offensive moves, the most moves in the draft that I have seen so far. He has a nice running jumper on the baseline, he runs people off screens well both when he has the ball, and when he doesn't have the ball. He was only brought in to be a scorer, and so far that is what he is doing for the Bobcats is playing scorer. He has been streaky, but so has every other rookie in this draft class. To me he has played the best of the rookies that get alot of playing time this year so far.

Alot of good teams could use a shooter and smart scorer like Morrison. Futhermore, there is a reason why he was drafted by a bad team, they needed a player like him that could score because they did not have a perimeter threat like Morriosn.
smart scorer?????? lmfao you call a 37 percent shooter a smart scorer?????? He is ignorant, he sucks, he whines, and he is exactly what the NBA doesen't need

No passion for the game? Yeah someone who cries because his team lost in the NCAA Tourny definetly has no love for the game. Your an ignorant idiot who probably judges everything by stats. Watch him actually play dumbass. He has the most complete offensive game of any rookie this season. He can shoot from 3, has a good mid range jumper, and can slash. Yeah maybe he is shooting a low % this season. So what? Almost all scorers shoot a low % as a rookie. It doesn't mean anything. He's still a great scorer. Your just an idiot who thinks stats tell everything.-Stop the insults.
ok, I'll give you the passion, but that just made everyone look at him as a pussy. Yeah I cried on national television, he needs to shut the F*ck up cus Nobody wants to hear his little story. He won't make any all star games either because none of the voters will be dumb enough to vote a tobacco chewer who can't shoot the ball in the hoop
I've got to say Saer Sene. He is a decent defensive prospect, and he is athletic, but his offensive game doesn't amount to anything, and he is definately not ready for the NBA right now. He could be another Rafael Araujo. I also think Patrick O'Bryant could be a bust. I don't see much talent in him.
Well..thisis what O Bryant gets for leaving a mid major school after his sophmore year, and as for Adam Morrison..they should just send him to the ABA or something
