    The biggest NBA draft bust ever is Sam Bowie.

    That guy was drafted second by Portland TrailBlazers.
    He was never good player but he had some potential
    He was drafted back in 1984.
    That's the year when MJ and Hakeem the Dram were drafted.
    MJ was like the best player in thta draft but nobody really thought that he will be better than Clyde Drexler so Blazers didn't wanna draft him.
    Blazers needed C.
    Blazers could also take John Stocton and Sir Charles but they drafted Bowie.

    Bowie was never good enough
    He is the biggest bust ever

    sad move for the blazers then. they really could have taken sir charles.
    they wouldnt have had to take mj, cuz that wouldve created a logjam at the 2, with 2 of the top 50 greatest ever.

    clyde took the blazers to a finals or 2. think if they had a chuck to go along with em.

    i dont think this is the thread you want, but...


    Harold Miner was supposed to be the next jordan. but instead he sucked. He was almost traded for clyde drexler

    Len Bias might have been as good as jordan but he overdosed on cocaine and died the night after he was drafted....

    i guess u could say that was the biggest bust ever. number one pick who never ended up scoring a single point

    I don't think Len Bias was the number 1 pick, but instead around 3 or 4. I may be wrong though.

    I agree about Harold Miner. All the hype was about him. As far as I saw, he wasnt all he was supposed to be.

    well this wouldn't really count as a bust, but this was a trade that the bucks got ripped. bucks traded dirk nowitzki for robert "tractor" traylor.

    very bad trade

    Everyone was supposed to be the next jordan its stupid. Felipe Lopez was supposed to be as good as Jordan, but ofcourse he wasnt, and never will be.

    Please dont remind me about that Nowitzki trade. Like I keep sayin Ernie Grunfild needs to be tied down and tourtured. Hell Id be the one to do it. Garrity is pretty good, so I have to say pretty good there, but Tractor Traylor. OMG! Its so bad I cant even comment on it.

    Now as for Grant Hill for Ben Wallace/Chucky Atkins, I know the Magic feel like fools because Grant Hill is out for good. Although the Drew Gooden trade turned out for the better.
