14/10 last year with 2.5 apg and 1.7 bpg. He's a productive player, nowhere near a bust.


those are not #1 overall pick type statistics

Disappointment, surely. But there are worse busts than him out there; he did start for like 6 seasons.

Not every big man drafted #1 ends up being Tim Duncan. This guy is hardly a bust, nowhere near it actually.

#1 pick expectations can vary from draft to draft. 05 was not 96 or 92. Dude's still young, and he isn't really a bad player.

Who the frick does this? Who drafts a player knowing he sucks? You'd have to be fricking stupid.

I didn't think Redick would be good in the NBA. But the mere fact that he was drafted in the 1st means SOMEONE obviously thought he might.

And yeah, if you go back a couple drafts it's hands down Kwame Brown.

Since 2003; all were top 5 picks.

1.) Darko Milicic - Definition of bust.
2.) Marvin Williams - Bust due to where he was taken, who he was taken in front of.
3.) Adam Morrison - It appears the Larry Bird comparisons were premature (or idiotic)
4.) Shelden Williams - Doesn't look like playing for the Kings will give him a shot at redemption.

I don't understand why alot of people are saying Greg Oden is a bust and comparing him to Sam Bowie. Dude has only played in half of one NBA game. Dude was a beast as a freshman in college. Hurt one wrist and learned to shoot with the other hand.


And I am a big Carolina homer, but Joseph Forte has to be one of the bigger bust in the last 10 years.

he's not a bust yet. not even close. but if years pass and he's still having injuries, then he will be.

People on here are already calling him one based on his game last night which he barely played in.
