He is ignorant, he sucks, he whines, and he is exactly what the NBA doesen't need</div>I doubt you have seen Morrison play this year, you are just looking at the stats and saying that. Just because someone is shooting 37 percent does not mean that they are stupid scorers or ignorant. That just means his shot is off at the NBA level right now. There are alot of players that have poor shooting years their rookie years because they are trying to get used to the NBA pace and play. When your a slower player like him, playing smart is the only way to get open shots. He is the best scorer in this rookie class, able to score in a wider variety of ways than anyone else in the rookie class.

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</div>I agree he won't get into any All-Star games because of the fans, because fans only vote for starters. He obviously can shoot, if he couldn't he would not be in the NBA. Your opinion is way off.
Saer Sene and Patrick O'Bryant barely get any playing time, you can't really say they're busts right now. Sene plays like 5 mpg? And O'Bryant gets 7? I agree with Valo. Give these guys a couple years and then you can look back to see if they were busts.As for JJ Redick, I don't classify him as a bust at all. Even though it's dissapointing with the lack of playing time he has had, I'm very happy with the way he's been playing when the oppurtunity has come about. He comes in and gives it all on that floor. Hopefully in the next couple years, he will have more oppurtunities to play and maybe show some of that flash from his NCAA years. I'm confident he will be! :yahoo:

I think Saer Sene and O'Bryant will be busts. I honestly do not know why they were drafted so high. I especially do not think POB will amount to much. I don't see much potential in him at all.
Tyrus Thomas went way too soon. He wasn't even THAT good at LSU, then he had a good 5-6 games in the NCAA tournament, and hes like the 2nd pick in the drafT? lol!

That's why he was drafted so early. He was drafted to produce in the future, not now so don't expect much from him for a few seasons. Also the reason he wasn't playing incredible at LSU was because he was only a freshmen.
I think you guys are just overratting this draft... This draft was filled with roll players. There was no superstars in this draft. This class you gotta give a few years to see what they can really do. alot of project was in the 06 classLike iverson fan said tyurs is here so he can play in a few years. Hes learning from wallace PJ and pippen who has been helping out a little. By the time wallace is done. which is in 3 years tyurs might be the player we want. I mean he will only be 23 by then so theres still ALOT of time for him. And hes on hell of a shot blocker. A good stealer and finisher. He also rebounds well

LaMarcus Aldridge was second, but he was traded on draft day for Ty Thomas. Common mistake.
IMO, Guys who enter as freshmans, shouldn't enter the draft at all. I think if they stayed another 1-2 years, they could prove themselves more. Some guys who come out as freshmans are good, but some need to prove themselves more. For example. Joakim Noah & Greg Oden. Greg Oden is already projected 1 overall pick, while Joakim Noah has proven himself more at Florida. But it's JMO.

I'm assuming your saying he went 3rd?All I know is he wasn't all that impressive in college. He didn't play a lot during the season, which showed that the coach at LSU didn't see a whole lot of basketball skill in him, or he would've gotten a ton more minutes. I don't know, I jsut think he's a great athlete, but I'm not too sure about the rest of his game. Maybe he'll be able to develop it. Not sure. We'll have to wait and see.
Saer Sene is sweet in 2k7!Before the season I though Jordan Farmar was going to be a terrible pro. I didn't think he was athletic enough to play in the league and I really thought he should have stayed 1 more at UCLA. He's looked pretty decent, though. You can't really label any of these guys busts yet. Most of the names mentioned in this thread are very young and/or raw players who were drafted as projects and not expected to contribute as rookies.
JJ Redick is barely playing on the magic and not performing his shooting at nearly the level he was in College. Another one is LaMarcus Aldridge, Brandon Roy was much better for the trailblazers than Aldridge, I think they shoudlve kept Tyrus Thomas.
Speaking about Redick, last night he did decent I guess. Scored 13 points, but on some plays, he played sucky defense.

Hope he can work out sooner or later.</div>Shannon Brown hasn't been playing much minutes this season so I wouldn't actually consider him a bust. I expect his minutes to increase by the time next season hits. I still have some confidence in him.

He was drafted 4th because of potential and what he could do for a team in the future. I mean the guy has great athleticism, loads of potential, and the ability to be a top notch defensive player in the NBA.
What I wonder is why in the world did the Mavs draft Mo Ager. He's a talented player but they have TOOOO many guys that play his position. They have Devean George, Josh Howard, Croshere, JT plays the wing sometimes, and they have Stackhouse. The only guy out of the people that I named right now they he would even have a chance of playing over currently is Croshere. Stackhouse and George are veryyy experienced veterans and then Josh Howard is young and VERY good. Does anybody think that, that was a smart draft pick?
