One word for my Detroit nikkas: Darko

Mateen Cleeves was also a surprising bust. I didn't think he'd be a star, but I figured he could at least adequately run offenses and play defense. Whoops

as a Laker there really hasn't been a big bust really recently on the Lakers since we always trade our late 1st round pick or 2nd round pick, or trade it. I remembered I was pissed initially when the LAkers selected Bynum because I wanted them to get Charlie V, Channing Frye, or Hakim Warrick at the time, but thankfully I wasn't a Lakers GM at the time and it was smart for the Lakers to draft Bynum. I thought the Lakers could have done more with Von Wafer, but than we waived him, he had that one good season with the Rockets but ain't done sh!t since. But, the Warriors have had easily the biggest draft blunders out of any team in NBA history. The Simmons article on the Warriors is straight laughs: The Warriors have fallen just about as far as a franchise can fall - Grantland

well this is easy for me....

Blair Thomas, Johhny Mitchell(he had talent though) Kyle Brady over Warren Sapp, Bryan Thomas over Ed Reed, the Dewayne Robertson trade and pick, Mark Sanchez, Vernon Gholston.

As a skins fan I would have to say our draft blunders covers 92 - 2011
I just hope RGIII won't fall in this catergory too.

Yea i'll give it to Reggie, he played hard and had that 10 TD year. I was a Reggie Williams stan to the fullest
too

Cadillac was injured and had a horrible season the year before (didn't even break 800 yards). Adrian Peterson was the best player available in the draft. How do you not pick him? Even if Cadillac stays healthy, you have an amazing duo at RB.

You could ask the 5 other teams that passed on him the same thing

"With the 4th pick in the NBA Draft, the Chicago Bulls select....Marcus Fizer"

I know the 2000 draft was huff, but why did the Bulls even draft him? We already had 6'8" PF who won ROY, so why draft another PF who was even shorter?

 

[Smokin Rider]

All that needs to be said is

The Sixers picking Shawn Bradley with the second pick in the 93 draft. We coulda had penny
