nick5354ParticipantMaybe you should just lists 2-3 in detail not just giving a 1-3 word summary of why they will be a bust not just saying “fat” or “wimp”. You reasoning is insane and just lacking of any critical analysis.

Raef LaFrentzParticipantVery well said. His analysis is leaving a bit to be desired. Haha. And when I say "analysis", I’m using the term very loosely.

eaAlwaysrightYou ignore the rest of what i say…btw most drafts yield only 6 to 8 quality players so of course there will be more busts then Gems..this draft is very deep so maybe 12 players or so will be vey very good.

Kinguy11ParticipantI may try this, although I hope my predictions aren’t met with similar negativity.
Busts:
I don’t see anybody in the ‘top 7’ (Embiid, Exum, Parker, Randle, Smart, Vonleh, Wiggins) being complete busts. Some, even if they don’t live up to potenial, can rely on physical gifts (ie: Embiid, Wiggins) and other have the floor of a role player (guys like Randle and Smart), in my opinion.
Clint Capela – A raw guy who is too reliant on his athleticism. Various draft sites comment on his lack of effort, whih makes me think he isn’t willing to put in the work to improve.
Jerami Grant – I think the OP had it right with this guy. Athletic and not much else. If he goes higher than 20 (which has been rumoured) the team he’s drafted will probably have some unhappy fans for passing on surer things in such a deep draft.
Glen Robinson III – He should have come out last year were he would have been a lottery pick. This year he was exposed for what he really is, a passive offensive player who’s content to let other guys shoulder the workload. His streaky jumpshot and bad handles are technical elements that back up his potenial failure in the league.
Dario Saric: Another guy I agree with the OP on. He’s too slow and too weak, which will make unable to play either forward spot well in the NBA. He could succeed in the right situation I don’t see his game translating to the NBA.
Gems:
Tyler Ennis – I completely disagree with the OP regarding this player. From what I’ve seen he’s an smart player that makes up for his athletic deficiency with hustle and heart.
Gary Harris – I see him as being a good offensive player who will be surprisingly run-of-the-mill defender.
Adrein Payne – A wellrounded offensive player with great defensive potenial.
Dwight Powell – A great combonation of size and skill. Whoever gets him in the second round are in for a treat.
James Young – Has shown flashes of potenial. I believe Calipri’s system didn’t suit him and he’ll be a potenial all star if he lands in good situation via the draft.

HOops1562ParticipantTyler Ennis is the best pure point guard in the draft … why would he have poor vision ??? the knock on him would be poor athleticism or shooting both which are underrated … don’t think he will be a bust just won’t be a star will be a decent point guard for years
