Those people don't know ish. Bet they wouldn't call MKG a bust to his face.Some stated he was a bust. I still laugh at that.
Bust? debatable. Worthy of being number 2 pick in a redraft? No chance.
He's 25 years old and makes 6.3 million dollars a year. If that's a "bust" then where do I sign up?
Did you just contradict yourself?He hasnt really lived up to the number 2 pick, but if he can stay healthy in the right situation, MKG could be the absolute perfect role player on a great team. He does everything extremely well except shoot it. He's all heart man, even though it's just a basketball game, watching him on the court has always been extremely impressive. Hes one of those lunch pale guys who just goes to work and puts his heart and soul into it every day. That becoming pretty rare in todays run and gun jump shooting game.
True, but he wouldn't go as low as a lot of people think. Basketball Reference rates him 9th in that draft class in Win Shares. Brad Beal, Damian Lillard, Harrison Barnes, and Andre Drummond went below him in the top 10 of that draft, and all are clearly better pros. Draymond Green, Khris Middleton, and Jae Crowder went 2nd round, so everyone sort of missed on them.Bust? debatable. Worthy of being number 2 pick in a redraft? No chance.

I hate jay Williams but to say he was a bust is laughable. Only played 1 year before almost dyingLol @ Jay Williams. Just another duke bust in a long line of duke busts

Still a busted pick, though.I hate jay Williams but to say he was a bust is laughable. Only played 1 year before almost dying

It is a different story than a guy who turns out to not have the ability, but it ends in the same place.
I don’t think people truly understand what a bust is. But like you said I guess Len bias is a bust as well.OK.
Then Len Bias is a busted pick.
I don't think anyone criticizes Red Auerbach for that "busted pick."
Yes, Len Bias was a busted pick.OK.
Then Len Bias is a busted pick.
I don't think anyone criticizes Red Auerbach for that "busted pick."
Would never consider someone who had a career ending injury a bust. Unfortunate situation and life threatening.Lol @ Jay Williams. Just another duke bust in a long line of duke busts
Yep, he’s still a Kidd.He has a lot of basketball left...
