Which 1st round selection will end up being the biggest bust?

I am hoping the Timberwolves don't select James Harden and they brought him in yesterday for a special workout

I think he disappeared in too many games in college, prime example being the Syracuse game

Also think Rubio is more hype than substance


Who is your choice for the biggest bust of the 1st round?

I agree with that nothing really stands out as top tier talent on paper at least.

harden has more of an NBA game then a college one imo

he needs work on his handles but he is a freak for his age, too many people in here saying how bad he is.... it is such a consensus im considering a r.o.y. bet lo

i think hes 20 probably still groing and hes pretty strong for his age, he destroyed syracuse in a losing effort at the end there when they iso'd him to the top of the key almost everytime and was owning passing if i recall... he has legit passing skills and hes left handed which is a plus imo

His team didnt cover some bad games this year and he was turn over prone in the end of those game... but besides pendergraph that team was garbage imo and was a 2 man show

Curry

I liked him but now I'm convinced he is the dumbest player in the NBA, he just said he wants to go on Knicks because D'antoni values defense
