Who's going to be the biggest bust in this draft? I'd say that it will be Gooden, just because of his lack of size or apparently will to gain size. And I think Yao Ming will be the worst pick of the draft, but since I haven't seen him in any in-game action, I can't really say for sure. Borchardt is a guy a lot of people think will bust, but I really don't agree with them. Jay Williams I have heard doubts about too, from the experts, saying he could be very good, but not a great point. Amare Stoudemire could be really good or really bad.
What are your opinions?

Yao Ming, Drew Gooden and Jared Jefferies. And I wouldn't count out maybe Qyntel Woods either. And If Wilcox doesn't develop his game.. well he'll bust. IMO.

I would have said Qyntel Woods until teams started realizing that the guy probably WON'T be the next McGrady. So now I don't see him going top 3-4 like some were touting early. Now I think he will go 8-10, and as such I think that puts him out of the running for "bust" status. I do think that, for as high as Dunleavy Jr. will likely be drafted, he will be the biggest bust out of this draft. I just don't think the guy has the necessary skills to be an impact player in the NBA.

I think at least one or two of the raw, athletic, "W"s (read as Wagner, Wilcox and Woods) is going to be a bust out.
D. Wagner is another in long line of baby chuckers (see Larry Hughes) who may or may not learn how to fit in. Memphis U. didn't exactly set the world on fire and he hasn't seen anything yet.
C. Wilcox played with Dixon and Baxter under a veteran coach on a flagship program. Put him on a train wreck and who knows how well he will develop.
I hadn't even heard of Q. Woods except on the internet, so who knows about him. Smells like Kendrick Brown from here.
PS - I think Yao Ming will be a very good player, but I am praying Bulls do indeed get Jason Williams. Either way we should get one of those two in a two player draft.
LMAO dont forget he's huge he can block and has a good perimeter game. Comparing him to Bradley, I dont think Yao is that bad.
But I dont think he will live up to the Hype
I don't really know what hype he has to live up to. Most of what I have read about Ming is filled with nothing but cautious optimism or outright comparisons to total crap players like Bradley or other similar tall busts from the past. I think he can be an excellent center in the league, not the focus of an offense by any means unless he develops some killer post moves, but a decent center that will solidify the Rockets lineup (assuming they take him).
How much fun will it be to see Steve Francis throwing alley oop lobs to Ming that he doesn't even have to jump up to receive and subsequently slam?
Answer: Lots of fun.

I have a feeling about TSkeet. (I saw someone call him that earlier, and I really don't know how to spell his last name, nor do I want to try.) Anyways, I think he's going to go higher in this draft than he maybe should. Pau Gasol put up a banner year last year, and teams may look at this and say that they want TSkeet. Most of what I have read although states that he's just not as good as Gasol. So the team thinking they are getting a Pau Gasol clone may be hurting when they look back on this draft.
I don't buy all that hype surrounding that guy Mike Dunleavy and I think he is going to be like Mike Miller. Let's just say if I had a top 5 pick I wouldn't take him because at best he'll just be a roleplayer for any decent team with a good small forward. He's got a pretty good shooting stroke and once again reminds me alot of Magic Mike of my hometown Orlando Magic.
Sure, his father is a 'former' NBA coach and his familly name is going to make him famous but he will be a bust. Mark my words.
