Is he possibly the biggest bust in NBA history?

Discuss.

I don’t know about the biggest but certainly the fattest and laziest fricker of all time.

Imagine someone giving you $500M and your fat lazy arse can’t get motivated to keep your body in shape. What a fricking waste of talent. Not to mention you don’t even work on a mid range game.

Zion was literally must see TV at Duke and had a hype train behind him that few players ever have had coming out of college. Like he was an icon of the sports world that year, not just Basketball.

Makes me sick to think back about it. People here got used to wanting him to just be the best version of fat Zion. Well we were promised DUKE ZION. Not this “efficient” fat arse. Even when healthy and at his “best” he was never what he was supposed to have been.

Anthony Bennett


That's your answer.

As bad as Zion has been for us, he's nowhere near as useless as Anthony Bennett was. Dude was out of the league within a couple of years solely on talent.

I don't think it's fair to lump in guys like Oden into this discussion because of injuries. When I think of busts, I think of guys who just couldn't ever figure it out in the NBA.

He's not the biggest bust, but he's easily the biggest disappointment. He's ultimately going to be responsible for NOLA basketball ceasing to exist. He should be universally hated in this board, but there are still 6-7 posters with an insane crush on him for whatever reason.
