First Overall Picks usually get all the hate, while if you were drafted anywhere else even as high as number 2... you're usually let off the hook. So why is that?

If you're picked in the lottery, your floor is a role player with a 10 year career. Anything else is a bust.
that at the least, good take my g🫡
Top 5 should atleast be starters on playoff teams
Except half the lottery picks flame out of the league.
That makes no sense. Every year players enter the league and get pushed out the league.
@@17thNOhow so?
A role player can be any top 7 players on any team. 30 teams in league
30x7=210 spots per year.
Lottery picks per year is 14.
That’s enough spots for every lottery pick to be in the league for every passing year for a cycle of 10-12 years.
It was a good take.
A lot of people don’t realize that player comps aren’t based on how skilled that player is projected be, but instead it’s based on the play style of the player
Feels unfair to label Jabari Parker and Dante Exum as outright busts without mentioning that both suffered multiple major injuries within their first three years in the league. Jabari in particular was productive from the get-go and even had stretches where he could shoot reliably from beyond the arc during the seasons when he actually got to play himself in rhythm after his first ACL tear.
He's fat and had poor work mentality, same with Zion, injury is almost expected with these guys, I don't expect Zion to be productive after 25-26
OK, still busts
@@brianbadonde9251 You are not a bust if injuries cut your career short. If anything you are a "what if". He tor his ACL for the 1st time early in his rookie season while being an efficient rookie starter. Then the dude was averaging 20/6/3 while shooting 49% from the field and 36.5% from 3 before he tore his ACL again at age 21 in his 3rd year... and after that he was never the same again. If thats a bust for you, you do not understand basketball.
@@Smido83 you are still a bust. Regardless of whether it's your fault or not.
@@brianbadonde9251 Ok, then you dont understand the word bust... a 20 PPG scorer isnt a bust in my book.
I don't think Lonzo could be considered a bust, just like I don't think a guy like Greg Oden is a bust. Injuries are different. MFers like the candy man and anthony bennet are the true busts
But Lonzo when healthy didn't play like the 2nd pick or after the high expectations
@@jimmykarlsson2567 When he was on the bulls in that one time the bulls were the 1 seed he was actually really good but that injury killed him
So we are just going to ignore that Parker was injured a lot wasn’t just his play he was actually a bucket before the injuries
And when he was healthy, what did he do?
Jabari also had weight issues and a poor mentality especially when he signed to Chicago and said he's there for offense not defense that sealed his fate in the league
If you consider Victor Oladipo a bust then you should also consider Demarcus Cousins a bust. Wtf dude? Those two players are not busts, they have all-nba selections and all-star selections just get very unlucky with injuries. Having injuries is not being a bust bro.
For being the 2nd overall pick and the 5th overall pick, neither of them lived up to their expectations. Top 5 picks are supposed to be hall of fame talent
@@brianbadonde9251 they were hall of fame talent but unfortunatelly they were not hall of fame health. Can you see the difference or not?
@@CorneliusMagnus having injury issues doesn't mean you're not a bust. A bust is a pick who didn't live up to expectations, whether it was their fault or not doesn't change the fact they're a bust. Do you know the difference or not?
@@brianbadonde9251He was a DPOY candidate, all-NBA type player before injuries, he was living up to the pick pre injury
@@brianbadonde9251 Top 5 picks are supposed to be all star talents and potentially mvp candidates. Having an hall of fame career is extremely unlikely
Mannn I thought Jahlil was gonna be one of the best big man in the league one day he went crazy at duke
I think he ended up not panning out good because the game changed, and eliminated traditional big men like him
And Nerlens Noel
Patrick Williams is not a bust. He just hasn’t had the right opportunity with the Bulls. He also is a great catch and shoot 3pt shooter. He shot 41% this season from 3. He also plays great defense
Great this, great that… What has he actually done for the Bulls in the three years he’s been starting for them?
Been one of if not the only positive interior defenders they'd have, shot efficiently from deep when filled with a roster that for the most part been inconsistent in that end, and create great help defense that definitely landed a huge impact on bulls being ranked the 5th best defense in the league. does that answer your question@@bennyy7434
@@bennyy7434do you expect him to take the sorry ass bulls to the 2nd round in his 3rd season?
@@nolanc9432 Yes? With LaVine, DeRozan and Vucevic there’s no reason they shouldn’t make it to the second round. If the Bulls took Tyrese Haliburton with that third pick, they would be there.
@@bennyy7434he hasn’t gotten enough touches, DeRozan and LaVine chuck up the ball as soon as they get it
Bro austins a savage he doesnt care where u got drafted your getting the smoke
I disagree with Hunter. He was never meant to be a star; he’s not developed into the defensive wing we expected but he’s by no means coming extremely short or “busting” what was expected of him.
I think you dont understand the word bust 😂😂
But you do i see
I remember watching Josh Jackson in Kansas. I always said if he played one more year in college and work on his shooting and defense he woulda been a great 3 and d guy, and Jabari Parker’s problem was him suffering multiple injuries. Hell they guy tore his acl his first year despite almost averaging 20
Dante Exum has actually been playing very well for the Mavs this year as their back up PG. Good to see him healthy and back in the league 🙌
You should not even be backup when you drafted that high
Lot of really solid players in that thumbnail, bust is a reach
Yeah he said simmons a bust but he’s a all star all defensive team
Bro you didn’t even mention Jabari Parker double ACL surgery. You not finna do my guy like that. He was puttin up 20 PPG before he got hurt, those injuries zapped a lot of his explosiveness, could no longer defend wings.
if you acknowledge Lonzo's injuries ruined his career, you gotta do Jabari as well. He tore the same ACL twice and could never really stay healthy after that.
tbf, lonzo tore his meniscus in 2021-22 and still isnt playing again and has had a surgery that no one has ever recovered to the point of playing again.
@@samkneen true, im just saying if lonzo is a bust cuz of injuries, jabari has to be one because of injuries too
Why you riding Lonzos meat 🤔.
@@MrFinster53does it make you feel better if he says Jabaris name aswell
So I guess you overlooked Jabari tearing his Acl twice on the same knee
I can understand most but lonzo,pat will,Jabari,and exum all had great potential but have either suffered career altering injuries or have battled injuries constantly so labeling them as busts I can not agree with because we don’t know how they coulda turned out if they never got injured in the first place
But AGAIN, did they played like all-stars when healthy??
Of course he judging them when healthy
In the eyes of Knicks Fans they hated when Kristaps Porzingis got drafted and he was considered a draft bust
Patrick Williams improved last season and has shown he can be a good player, but sure
Lonzo Ball: when healthy was the most impactful player for the bulls
Dante Exum & Jabari Parker: Injuries
Otto Porter & Cody Zeller: both had a 10 year career
You forgot Emmanuel Mudiay
He’s the Ultimate forgotten bust even Austin forgot
@@jumpy2xstreaminghe was so hyped too, definitely one of the biggest busts
Injury busts get an asterisk.. 99% of players can’t control the injuries they sustain.
But when they weren't injured, the still didn't play like top picks
@@jimmykarlsson2567 sometimes it takes time for players to gain star level status
@@JC-bt3cr not a top 3 player.
And thats why he started the video at 2020
You didn’t even acknowledge any of Parker’s injuries.
But he still wasn't a all-star without the injuries.
Before Deandre Ayton's downfall, I thought Marvin Bagley was Sam Bowie 2.0, a promising young talent who was picked between 2 superstars.
I mean being selecting right before 3 all stars is still not a good look.
Hakeem and Jordan are literally both top 10 players of all time Luka is never gonna get to that level.
Jabari Parker was on the come up but tore his ACL twice which killed his career.
Mario Hezonja is the GOAT.
I thought Kris Dunn was going to be similar to Damian Lillirqd or atleast have a better career than he’s currently at.
I definitely thought he was good enough to stay in the league, the fact he was able to average 2+ steals says that
Jabari can’t be a bust he got injured you named 7-9 guys who never been hurt once
It’s weird that u r giving lonzo a “bust-pass” for being injured but somehow scrutinize jabari parker for it. Dude was a certified baller before he tore his acl twice…
Also Otto Porter had a lot of injuries before becoming a bench player
Bro basically saying if u dont become a allstar instantly after getting drafted ur a bust 😂😂
Ben Simmons is not a bust bro 😭
Doesn’t matter how his career has gone he was still a perennial all star and DPOY candidate, sure his ass now, but in no world is someone with all those accolades a bust, good video though
How can you say that your not including players who are busts from injury’s but then include Jabari Parker who tore his ACL twice but when healthy was a 20ppg scorer?
Injuries don’t make a player a bust, in my eyes a player is only a bust if they did absolutely nothing in the league
Sorry, but Parker does not belong on this list. He was a good and efficient rookie before he tore his ACL the 1st time. Then he averaged 20/6/3 in his 3rd season while shooting 49%/36.5%/74% before he tore his ACL the SECOND TIME... and after that he was more or less done. If anything, he is a what if, not a bust.
I'm convinced I would've been an NBA draft prospect if I was born in Eastern Europe
tbh if I was making this I would've started at like 2017-2018 cuz 2020 seems way to early, they've only been playing 4 seasons in the league
I had no idea who Patrick Williams even was lmao.
It seems like half of the guys you mentioned have had major injuries. Yes, guys like James Wiseman, Dante Exum, and Jabari Parker were never quite as good as billed -- Parker was probably close -- we never got to see them improve because of major injuries early in their careers.
Bro acting like Jabari Parker didn’t tear his acls back to back
Bro Jabari tore is acl twice
Everyone forgets about Nikolaz Tkitishzili for the Nuggets, same draft as Nene.
I’m sorry, but if you think Hunter is a bust you don’t know basketball.
People need to realize a bust is a bust regardless of injury a bust is a person who didn't live up to the hype and most cases half of the top 5 will end up being busts in every draft
Wiseman going to the worse is what made him a bust. He wasn’t ready and they weren’t in a position to wait for him and to let him progress like other teams that could afford giving him as much minutes as possible
Okoro’s numbers would be better if he got more minutes. Good boost of energy and probably the Cavs best perimeter defender
Whoa whoa whoa, Jabari Parker might have been disappointing due to some pretty nasty injuries, but he was by no means a bust.
Yes he was
Exum is back this year, be interesting to see if he can put it together
pretty sure he’s on mavs idrk bout that he’d prolly shine in chicago
Seems from the comments looks like a lot people are getting tired of hearing about injuries = bust. Looking forward for creators catching up thatl
This guy called Jabari Parker a bust 😂 Jabari is a damn great player simply ruined by injuries. In his 3rd season we saw his full potential and even with the injuries, he continued being a good player.
It's too soon to call Wiseman a bust. We'll find out a lot this year. And De'Andre Hunter isn't a bust. His injury issues are worrying, but on the court he's basically what everyone thought he was. A solid do everything starter. Yeah they could've taken Garland, but Hunter was the safe pick at the time.
wiseman is simply not a good nba player and he shouldn’t be in the league he’s not good enough
@@jxmmykriminallive He's 22. And didn't fit well with the GSW's. He played better with the Pistons, we'll find out this year if he has it or not.
He’s a bust
@@luke9648nah he's done
Way to harsh on Deandre Hunter. Most people always saw him as an above average role player, which he is. He was never thought to be Kawhi Leonard on defense, and he still is an above average defender, just doesn't show when he is on the floor with the worst defender in the league with Trae Young. At the end of the day, he was the 4th overall pick because it was widely believed that his floor was an above average NBA player. Needa watch the Hawks more often, he is rarely ever the issue.
Yeah... dont get the Bust label here. He is an realively efficient 15 PPG starter and above average defender... What did Briges average in Phoenix again? The problem is the team around him. To many touches go to the 2 guards. And up to now he also had to share touches with either Huerter/Bey or Collins on the wing.
I am sure he can be a 20 PPG scorer in the right role as a 3rd option. Lets see if and how it works with him and Bey starting at the 3/4 before calling him a bust...
He's not a bust he just didn't have the potential that most 4th overall picks have. Will he ever been an All Star, no, but could he be a very good role player on any championship team, yes. Just depends on what you consider a bust. Is he a home run pick no but was he a smart pick yes. Way better than Jarret Culver and Jaxon Hayes !@@Smido83
@@Smido83I agree that DeAndre Hunter isn't a bust and that he is relatively good. In regards to Mikal Bridges, he wasn't even a top 5 pick and was projected to be just a role player. He finally got his opportunity when he got traded to the Nets and averaged 27 PPG, so he's definitely a star in the making. Can't say that about Hunter yet.
@@unlimitedpower4101 Even before the Trade, do you think his contributions are worth a Top 5 pick? I think so. And you explained what I ment with that anyways. He never got the chance to show all he can do on the Suns. Now he can. The same is true for Hunter who played next to Trae/Collins/Murray up to now. I think he can be a 2nd option averaging 20+ PPG while being a good 2 way player. But only in the right situation. Same as Bridges. So not even close to being a bust for a 4th pick.
Crazy asl Saying Lonzo Career over when he only 25
Yea throwin the word bust around too easily
the g in hedo turkoglu is silent.
Well to be fair James Wiseman has been suffer a lot of injuries since joining the league though. So it's too early to say that.
Everyone catching smoke
I definitely still think Patrick Williams has higher potential as of now than Wiseman or Isaac Okoro
When you look at advanced stats bagley is clearly already a bust
I need everyone who does videos like this to atleast be knowledgeable of player's injury history 0/10
Lonzo Ball or Ben Simmons being labeled a "bust" shows that that label is being overused and they don't know the meaning of the words.
Patrick Williams is solid player
Jabari and dante were not busts they suffered the same fate as Derrick rose. They are the WHAT IF’s in the NBA. And they were solid players
give Jabari Parker a pass for injuries just like for Lonzo and Victor
How can you call Simmons a bust. He was an all star, DPOTY runner up, tripple double maschine?
smh giving oladipo the injury pass but not jabari??
People with injures shouldnt be labled a bust
Hezonja was so arrogant, its hilarious to see him fail
lonzo, oladipo, and willaims should be off the list
I wouldnt consider Jabari Parker a bust. He was playing like an allstar before the second knee injury, after that he was done. He shouldnt be on the list.
Otto porter retired 😢
DeAndre Hunter was never supposed to be great he's a decent role player. You should have mentioned Jarrett Culver who prior to them both playing in the national championship game was more highly touted than Hunter. He was picked two picks later and is currently in the G league.
Most of these dudes are good role players not bust
Parker had two knees injuries he was getting 20 a night before getting injured.
deandre hunter is for sure not a bust
Oladipo isn’t a Bust
Why 9/10 players played for the pistons lol
No, Deandre Hunter is not a bust. Also, the way you talked down on Jabari calling him a bust after he suffered two acl injuries was disgusting. Calling him a journeyman for back-to-back acl injuries that end careers was terrible.
No wonder the Pistons have been shit, they’ve been trading for or signing these busts
austinnn
SOooo.. Every one on this list made about $10m-$50m+ and they are in their mid 20's. I am pretty sure they aren't too worried about it unless they wasted all of it on strippers and Cars..
Lonzo ain't no bust just injuries got him
i love this channel 🥵
Kids* forgot about
where’s embiid
The Sacramento Kings should have taken Luka Doncic in the 2018 NBA Draft.
Then De’Aaron fox wouldn’t be who he is right now
@@itzcodyyyy if kings win a chip, then we can say they made the right move, if they don't during de'aaron fox's career, then we can say it was the worst decision ever
@@itzcodyyyyas great as fox is luka is better the guy is generational as good as bam is if a generational center was available I’m taking him even if it takes away from bam
To call Lonzo a bust is dumb
Victor wasn't a bust shorty.
Lonzo and Parker are not busts.
Well if you knew ball Jabari wasn’t a bust. Man was about to win Roy. Injuries don’t count. Unless you didn’t play at all. Then you’re a bust. if you barely helping yo team your a busy. Jabari couldn’t help it
Hedo WHO??
James wiseman not a bust
Gotcha homie❤
Hunter ain't a bust tf u talking about
bro haslem hansborough comparison is rough. not to mention inaccurate. dude can jump out of the gym this guys can’t
lonzo is not a bust lol
Marquese Chriss was a bust
Take Victor off that thumbnail.
