Top 10 NBA Lottery Busts Of The Last Decade»
I quizzed my brother about who might be on this list and his guesses were Michael Olowakandi and Yinka Dare. That’s when I realized that we were both officially old.
Anyway, the list is a good read including this choice for #2:
2. Entire 2000 NBA draft
You can’t pick a single bust-worthy standout. Sure, Stromile Swift (taken second overall) has disappointed greatly, but what were the Grizzlies’ options? Darius Miles? Marcus Fizer? Chris Mihm? DerMarr Johnson? Do you want me to go on? Or do you want me to just mention Jerome Moiso’s name and move on with it? It nearly bears mentioning that any time I see a comment wondering how it was, exactly, that a dope like me got this job, I think back to this draft. And I think, “I live-blogged the 2000 NBA draft. I’ve paid my dues, dammit.”
