Who will Be the Biggest Bust in the 2009 NBA Draft?

My Vote goes to Hasheem Thabeet, the guy can't shoot or rebound all he can do is play defense he is going to be a bust....

Thabeet for sure.

Curry... he can shoot. he can score.

That's it.
How cool.

Ricky Rubio.
He hasn't even played college b ball. The European leagues are much different than ours. Its gonna be to fast for him

Rick Rubio and Hasheem Thabeet tied

Thabeet's offensive game in College alone was terrible and he had 5 games in the NCAAs where he had 4 rebounds or less at 7 foot 3. He'll get banged around and won't do much at all. He's just another UConn shot blocking product if you ask me.

Rubio is not athletic fast,and doesn't have a good jumper. I don't see him doing too well in the NBA

rubio is ovrerated in my book.

Jordan Hill will be the only player in the top 10 not to succeed at least somewhat.

I have to say Thabeet. It's hard to gauge a player like him because he's played a lot less organized basketball than the other players listed. Plus being 7'2 or so puts him as one of the taller player's in the league, but he just seems to have Dikembe Mutombo joints and hands... it's like watching a robot play ball.

Best case scenario for him, plays like Tyson Chandler.

Worst case scenario Kwame Brown.

I look at Thabeet as a Mutombo or Dalembert. Limited on offense can rebound pretty well, and can defend.

Mutombo and dalembert can score

Thabeet can't...at all

Its Thabeet, and its not close. I used to think he had an upside..but no. just no.

Yeah but their built the same way and play the same way, at least on defense.

RICKY RUBIO!

Ricky Rubio isn't even going to play in the NBA, he's going to europe

Hasheem Thabeet. What can he do other than getting by with multiple 3-5 second calls. All he can do is get a lot of blocks on college players. This is the NBA, they dont take his shit there.

I watched the summer league games and when it came to transition D, watching Thabeet was like watching a school bus race a Ferrari.

Haha thats funny Nick C

Thabeet. He wasn't very much of an offensive player even in college, so how well do you think it'll translate to the NBA? While I like to think he can be a game-changer defensively, that might not even hold true. DeJuan Blair, the 37th pick, eviscerated him in both Pitt-UConn games (one of them he had a 20-20 game), so if a 6'7 2nd round pick (regardless of if he should've gone higher) can trash him defensively, how will he stop Howard, Shaq, Stoudemire or even guys like Oden and Bynum?

Yeah I agree

Which was Thabeet? The bus or the Ferrari.

Rubio is gonna be the biggest bust.

Thabeet is only gonna be doing D and put up a few shots. besides thats all they really need for him anyways

J, Thabeet was the bus. By far the bus. He's slow getting up the court. Ever heard of Kenny George from UNCA? Almost as bad.

I am very surprised at how everyone is saying Thabeet. I don't think anyone xpects him to be like a complete player. He is defensively minded, and I think he will be Mutumbo caliber which is not bad at all.

I think it's Stephen Curry. Sorely overrated.

But Thabeet is gonna be a strong player on the D side of the court

haha. Kenny George is hilarious.
